FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage can include missing or broken shingles, dents in metal roofing, leaks inside your home, and noticeable debris on the roof. Additionally, check for granule loss on asphalt shingles and look at the flashing and gutters for any dislocations or damage. If you're unsure, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection.
What should I do immediately after a storm to protect my roof?
Right after a storm, ensure your safety first. Once it's safe, perform a visual inspection of your roof from the ground. Document any visible damage with photos. Next, schedule a professional roofing inspection to identify hidden issues. Cover any exposed areas with a tarp to prevent further water intrusion until repairs can be made.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof storm damage?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover damage caused by storms, including hail, wind, and fallen debris. However, coverage can vary by policy and the type of damage. Review your policy details and contact your insurance provider for specific information. Our team can assist with the claims process to ensure all necessary documentation is provided.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim after storm damage?
The timeframe to file an insurance claim varies by insurance company and policy, but it's critical to act quickly. Most insurers require claims to be filed within a certain period after the event, typically ranging from a few weeks to several months. Check your policy details and contact your insurance provider to determine the exact timeframe.
What are the steps involved in the storm damage restoration process?
The storm damage restoration process typically includes an initial assessment, temporary fixes, detailed inspection, insurance claim assistance, and permanent repairs. We start with a thorough inspection to identify all damage, followed by temporary measures such as tarping. After filing your insurance claim, we work with your insurer to finalize repairs, ensuring all work meets high-quality standards.
