FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Elizabethton?
Ideally, you should set up an inspection within 24–48 hours of a severe weather event. East Tennessee’s high winds, hail, and driving rain can cause hidden damage that worsens quickly. Prompt documentation also helps when filing an insurance claim, because adjusters prefer evidence that the damage is recent and storm-related.
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
Common red flags include missing or lifted shingles, granule piles at your downspouts, bent or detached flashing, dents in metal vents caused by hail, and water spots on your ceiling or attic sheathing. Even if everything looks fine from the ground, unseen bruising of shingles or loosened fasteners can leave your roof vulnerable, so a professional inspection is still recommended.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard policies in Tennessee cover sudden, weather-related roof damage minus your deductible. After our inspection we provide a photographic report and written estimate that you can submit to your insurer. We’ll also meet with the adjuster on-site to confirm the scope of work, helping you maximize your entitled benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
What does the “Roofing Done Right” storm-damage inspection process involve?
1) Free on-site evaluation of shingles, decking, flashing, gutters, and attic ventilation. 2) Drone and moisture-meter technology to locate hidden leaks. 3) Detailed photo documentation and a clear condition report. 4) Straight-forward repair or replacement recommendations based on Elizabethton’s building code and manufacturer specs. 5) Assistance with insurance paperwork and timelines so you’re never left guessing.
How long will storm-damage roof repairs take, and will I need to leave my home?
Most minor repairs—replacing a section of shingles or sealing flashing—are finished the same day. Full roof replacements on an average 2,000-sq-ft home typically take one to two days, weather permitting. You can stay in your home during the work; we use magnetic rollers for nail cleanup and tarp all landscaping to keep your property safe and tidy.
