FAQs
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged by a storm in Decatur?
Safety comes first. If you suspect structural damage, stay out of the affected areas and call 911 if there is an immediate hazard. Once everyone is safe, take photos or videos of visible damage from the ground and cover any interior leaks with buckets or tarps if you can do so safely. Then contact our 24/7 emergency line. Our fully equipped crews will be dispatched to provide a temporary tarp or board-up service to prevent further water intrusion while we prepare a full restoration plan.
How quickly can your fully equipped crews respond to a storm-damage call?
We maintain on-call teams exclusively for storm events in Decatur and the surrounding communities. In most cases we arrive within 1–3 hours of your call, day or night. Our service vehicles carry tarps, sheathing, fasteners, generators, and safety equipment, allowing us to begin mitigation work on the first visit rather than scheduling a second trip.
Will you assist me with my homeowner’s insurance claim?
Yes. Our staff includes claim specialists who document the storm damage, prepare a detailed scope of work, and meet with the insurance adjuster on-site. We submit all required photos, measurements, and estimates in the format carriers request, and we keep you informed of every step. While we can’t guarantee coverage decisions, our documentation and negotiation experience greatly improve the chances of full and fair reimbursement.
Can you match my existing shingles or other roofing materials during restoration?
In most cases, yes. We stock many of the architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles commonly used in Decatur and have relationships with multiple suppliers for metal, tile, and specialty products. If your exact shingle line has been discontinued, we will recommend the closest match approved by your insurer or discuss full-slope replacement options to ensure a uniform appearance.
How much does storm-damage roof restoration typically cost in Decatur?
Pricing depends on the roof size, material, and extent of damage. Minor wind repairs can range from $350–$1,000, while partial-roof replacements often fall between $3,500 and $8,500. Full replacements, especially for premium materials, can exceed $10,000. If you have insurance coverage for wind or hail, your out-of-pocket cost is usually limited to your policy’s deductible unless upgrades are requested.
Do your storm-damage repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All repair work is backed by a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty, and full roof replacements carry our 10-year transferable workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s material warranty, which can run 25 years to lifetime depending on the product. We also perform a free annual inspection for the first three years to make sure your restored roof continues to perform as intended.
