What our customers say

Our roof started leaking on a weekend from recent storms, so I sent a request online. They called first thing Monday morning to schedule an inspection. They were quite busy that day, and kept us updated as to the timing of their technician's arrival. When he arrived, Christian thoroughly inspected the roof, gave us his recommendation for a solution and tarped the roof as a temporary fix. Due to timing issues on our part and having to work with our insurance company, we couldn't schedule the repair right away. During this past weekend's storm, part of the tarp failed so I called and they immediately scheduled someone to come out and fix it. Jeremy arrived and had the problem taken care of quickly since more rain is expected before the work begins on Monday, and assured me that they will be there if I have any other issues in the meantime. I am very impressed by everyone I have dealt with at HEP; I am not sure I have ever received the level of communication as I have from them. They have answered every question, explained every detail and returned every phone call or text promptly and efficiently.

HEP is by far one of the best companies, of any kind, I've ever dealt with. We've had HEP replace our HVAC system and just signed contracts with them for some major plumbing repair and a new roof. In our experience with HEP, we've found that they do everything, and they do everything really well. Which is great for us because we don't have to waste any time going through the giant pain process of finding contractors and then finding out if we can trust them. With HEP, the whole experience is like working with your brothers and sisters. Everyone we've met has gone out of their way to make us feel like we're part of their family. To me, the kind of quality service you get from that kind of a business relationship is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, HEP!

Jen R.

Christian was very proficient in detailing the scope of the work to be completed from our storm damage. He was very straightforward and courteous at the same time. He also answered the few questions that I had to give us a full understanding of what we expect to be done.

Chris L.

Christian Jordan and Michael Mott came out and looked great and took care of the wind damage to my vinyl siding

Understanding Storm Damage in Beersheba Springs

Weather in Beersheba Springs can shift from calm sunshine to high-velocity winds and torrential rain within minutes. When those powerful systems sweep across the Cumberland Plateau, roofs often absorb the brunt of the impact. HEP specializes in assessing and reversing that damage, restoring protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal for local homeowners.

Common Weather Threats

Severe thunderstorms with microbursts
Straight-line winds surpassing 60 mph
Hailstones ranging from pea size to golf-ball diameter
Heavy snowfall followed by rapid freeze-thaw cycles
Frequent, moisture-laden fog that accelerates shingle aging

Typical Roof Failures After a Storm

Torn or missing shingles exposing underlayment
Punctures from wind-borne branches
Granule loss that shortens shingle life span
Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
Uplifted ridge caps compromising attic ventilation
Soffit and fascia displacement allowing wildlife intrusion

Why Immediate Roofing Restoration Matters

A small opening in the roof envelope can lead to a cascade of structural and indoor air-quality problems. Addressing storm damage promptly with HEP’s restoration team curbs costly domino effects.

Preventing Secondary Water Intrusion

Water follows gravity. Once it seeps beneath shingles, it travels along rafters and trusses, saturating insulation and sheetrock. The result often includes:

Hidden mold colonies
Stained ceilings and walls
Electrical short circuits
Deteriorated framing lumber

Prompt roof restoration eliminates those pathways and safeguards interior investments.

Preserving Structural Integrity

High winds loosen fasteners and bend flashing. Over time, that repetitive stress weakens roof decking and compromises load-bearing connections. HEP’s restoration experts reinforce vulnerable areas, maintaining the roof’s ability to withstand future storms without major failures.

Immediate stabilization of loosened flashing or skylight seals

Detailed Damage Documentation for Insurance

Photographic and video evidence of every compromised area
Written condition reports correlating wind speed data and hail diameter to observed damage
Itemized scope of work that aligns with prevailing insurance estimating software

Selection of High-Performance Materials

HEP prioritizes materials engineered for resilience:
