FAQs
What are the most common signs that high winds have damaged my Johnson City roof?
Look for missing or curled shingles, lifted flashing, granules collecting in gutters, damp attic insulation, and water stains on interior ceilings. After a wind event in Johnson City—where gusts can exceed 70 mph—inspect your yard for loose shingles or metal pieces that may have blown off the roof. If you spot any of these issues, schedule a professional inspection right away to prevent leaks and structural damage.
How soon should I schedule repairs after wind damage occurs?
Immediately. Even small areas of wind uplift can let water penetrate under the shingles, leading to rapid deck rot and interior leaks. Johnson City’s frequent rainstorms can arrive within hours of a wind event, so prompt tarping or repair is critical. Most insurers require you to take ‘reasonable steps’ to mitigate further damage, so acting quickly also helps protect your claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover wind-related roof repairs in Johnson City?
In most cases, yes. Standard HO-3 and HO-5 policies typically cover sudden wind damage, minus your deductible. Exclusions may apply if the roof was already in poor condition or if you waited too long to address the problem. We assist Johnson City homeowners by documenting damage with photos, providing a detailed estimate, and meeting the adjuster on-site to streamline the claims process.
Which roofing materials offer the best wind resistance for East Tennessee weather?
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, standing-seam metal panels, and synthetic slate all perform well in Johnson City’s wind zone (Exposure B, 120 mph design speed per 2021 IRC). We recommend class H or higher wind-rated shingles, six-nail installation patterns, and enhanced ridge cap fastening to maximize uplift resistance.
What is your typical repair process for wind-damaged roofs?
1. Free on-site inspection within 24 hours. 2. Emergency tarping if roof decking is exposed. 3. Detailed photo report and written estimate, which you can forward to your insurer. 4. Removal of compromised shingles, underlayment, and flashing. 5. Installation of new synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in vulnerable valleys, and wind-rated shingles or panels using manufacturer-approved fastening patterns. 6. Final walk-through, cleanup, and warranty registration. Most minor repairs are completed in a single day; full replacements take 1–2 days depending on roof size.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency service for storm events?
Yes. Our Johnson City emergency response team is on call day and night. We can tarp exposed areas, secure loose metal, and remove debris immediately after a storm to prevent further water intrusion. Once conditions are safe, we return to perform a full assessment and permanent repairs, ensuring your home is protected throughout the entire process.
