FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged by high winds in Decatur?
Look for missing, curling, or lifted shingles, loose or bent flashing around chimneys and vents, shingle granules collecting in gutters, and water stains on interior ceilings or walls. Because many types of wind damage are hard to see from the ground, we recommend scheduling a free professional inspection after any storm with winds over 45 mph. Our Haag-certified inspectors know what to look for and can document all damage for your records and insurance claim.
What should I do immediately after a storm to minimize further roof damage?
First, make sure everyone stays clear of downed power lines and unstable structures. Photograph visible damage from a safe position, then call our 24/7 emergency line. We can usually arrive the same day to install temporary tarps or boards that keep rain out and prevent secondary water damage. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—wet shingles and loosened decking make slips and falls more likely.
Does homeowners insurance cover wind and hail roof damage in Decatur, and will you help with the claim?
Most standard homeowners policies in Georgia and Alabama do cover sudden and accidental wind, hail, and falling-debris damage, subject to your deductible. We have an in-house insurance liaison who will meet the adjuster on-site, provide photographic evidence, and use Xactimate estimating software to ensure all code-required repairs are included. While we cannot guarantee claim approval, our documentation and pre-negotiated pricing help speed the process and maximize your eligible payout.
How quickly can your Decatur storm restoration team respond and secure my roof?
Our local team lives and works in the Decatur area, so we keep crews on standby whenever severe weather is forecast. In most cases we can reach any address within 2–4 hours of your call, even at night or on weekends. Emergency tarping is done first; permanent repairs or replacement usually begin within 7–10 days, depending on material availability and insurance timelines.
Will a wind-damaged roof need full replacement, or can it be repaired?
That depends on the extent and location of the damage, the age of your roofing system, and current building codes. If high winds have removed shingles in several areas, broken the sealant strip, or compromised the underlayment, a full replacement is often more cost-effective and will be required by your insurer. Minor, isolated damage—such as a few missing shingles—can often be spot-repaired. Our inspector will explain the pros and cons of each option and provide a written estimate so you can make an informed decision.
