FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Visible signs of storm damage can include missing shingles, lifted or curling shingles, dented metal parts, leaks in the attic or ceiling, and debris on the roof. Sometimes, damage may not be obvious. A professional inspection is recommended to thoroughly assess the condition of your roof.
What should I do immediately after a storm?
After ensuring your safety, conduct a preliminary inspection of your roof from the ground using binoculars if necessary. Document any visible damage with photos. Avoid climbing onto the roof as it could be dangerous. Then, contact a professional roofing contractor for a comprehensive inspection and repair.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs due to storm damage?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental damage caused by storms. However, coverage can vary, so it’s important to contact your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your policy. We can also assist by providing detailed inspection reports and estimates to facilitate your insurance claim.
How long does the storm damage restoration process take?
The duration of the restoration process depends on the extent of the damage. A simple repair might take just a few hours, while extensive damage requiring a full roof replacement could take several days. Factors influencing the timeline include weather conditions, permit acquisition, and the specifics of your insurance claim.
Why should I hire a professional for storm damage repairs?
Professional roofers have the expertise, tools, and safety equipment needed to properly assess and repair storm damage. Attempting DIY repairs can lead to further damage or personal injury. Certified roofing professionals can also help with insurance claims by providing accurate assessments and documentation.
What types of roofing materials are best for storm-prone areas?
For storm-prone areas like Tracy City, durable roofing materials include metal roofs, impact-resistant shingles, and synthetic or natural slate. These materials are known for their high resistance to wind, hail, and heavy rain. Consulting with a roofing expert can help determine the best material for your specific needs and budget.
