FAQs
What are some common signs of storm damage on a roof?
Common indicators include missing or lifted shingles, cracked or dented shingles, water stains on the ceiling, granule loss on asphalt shingles, and visible leaks within the home. After any major storm, it’s a good idea to look for these obvious signs, but a professional inspection will provide the most accurate assessment of any damage.
How quickly should I address storm-related roof damage?
Address storm damage as soon as possible to prevent more serious issues like leaks, mold growth, and structural deterioration. The longer damage is left unattended, the more likely it is to worsen—leading to higher repair costs and potentially compromising the integrity of your roof.
Will my homeowners’ insurance cover roof storm damage?
In many cases, homeowners’ insurance policies will cover storm-related roof damage. However, coverage varies based on your specific policy and the type of damage. It’s important to review your policy and, if necessary, file a claim promptly. Our team can help document the damage for your claim and work with your insurance adjuster to ensure fairness and accuracy.
Should I try to inspect the roof myself or hire a professional?
While you can do a quick visual inspection from the ground, climbing onto the roof without proper safety gear and training can be dangerous. A professional inspection not only reduces risk but also ensures that any hidden or subtle damage is identified. Hiring a qualified roofing contractor is the best way to accurately assess the scope of repair or replacement needed.
How do I know if I need a complete roof replacement or just repairs?
This depends on factors such as the extent of the damage, the age of the roof, and the type of roofing materials. A thorough inspection by a certified roofing professional will help you determine if the roof can be effectively repaired or if a full replacement is necessary to ensure long-term protection.
What does the storm damage restoration process involve?
The process typically includes a detailed inspection to assess the damage, documentation for insurance claims, removal of damaged materials, and installation of new roofing components. Depending on the project’s complexity, additional steps—such as water mitigation or structural repairs—may be required. Throughout the process, clear communication and professional workmanship are key to restoring your roof so it’s as good as new.
