FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage to a roof may include missing or broken shingles, dents in metal components, leaks inside the home, granules from shingles in gutters, and visible debris on the roof. If you suspect damage, it’s critical to have a professional inspection to assess the extent of repairs needed.
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof?
If your roof is damaged after a storm, ensure your safety first. Avoid entering areas with potential structural damage. Document the damage with photos and videos, and contact your insurance company to file a claim. Then, get in touch with a reputable roofing contractor for an emergency inspection and temporary solutions, like tarping.
Will my insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs?
Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies cover storm damage. Coverage can include repairs for wind and hail damage, falling objects, and water damage. It is essential to review your policy details and speak with your insurance agent to understand your coverage and any deductibles that apply.
How long does it take to repair storm damage on a roof?
The duration of storm damage repairs varies based on the extent of damage and weather conditions. Simple repairs might take a few days, while more extensive damage requiring roof replacement could take a week or more. A professional roofing contractor will provide a detailed timeline after assessing the damage.
Can I repair my roof myself after a storm?
While minor repairs might seem manageable, it’s generally advisable to hire a professional. Roofing work can be hazardous, and improper repairs could lead to further damage or void your warranty. Professional roofing contractors have the expertise and equipment to conduct safe and effective repairs.
What should I look for in a roofing contractor for storm damage restoration?
When choosing a roofing contractor, ensure they are licensed, insured, and have a good reputation with verified references. Look for experience in handling storm damage and navigating insurance claims. Check for positive reviews and ratings, and ask for a detailed written estimate before work begins.
