FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof or siding in Friendsville?
Safety comes first. Stay clear of downed power lines and avoid walking on a potentially unstable roof. Take clear photos or videos of visible damage from the ground, then cover any major openings with a tarp if you can do so safely. Next, call our 24/7 storm-response line. We’ll dispatch a certified inspector to assess the damage, document it for insurance, and provide a written estimate for repairs or replacement.
How can I tell if my roof or siding has hidden storm damage?
Not all storm damage is obvious. Signs include granule loss that shows up as horizontal dark lines on shingles, dents or cracks in vinyl siding, water stains on interior ceilings, or higher-than-normal energy bills. Our technicians use drones, moisture meters, and infrared cameras to uncover issues you might miss. Scheduling a professional inspection within 48–72 hours of a severe storm is the best way to catch hidden problems before they lead to leaks, mold, or structural decay.
Do you provide emergency tarping and temporary repairs in Friendsville?
Yes. Our rapid-response crews are on call 24/7 throughout Blount County. We typically arrive within 2–4 hours to install heavy-duty tarps, secure loose siding panels, and perform other temporary measures that stop further water intrusion. These interim fixes stabilize your home until permanent repairs or a full replacement can be completed.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs or replacement?
Most standard homeowner’s policies cover wind, hail, and impact damage, but coverage details vary. Once you file a claim, an insurance adjuster will inspect your property. We’ll meet the adjuster on-site, provide our own damage report, and advocate on your behalf to ensure nothing is overlooked. In many cases you’re responsible only for the deductible, with the insurer paying the balance of approved repairs or replacement.
How long does it take to replace a storm-damaged roof or siding?
Timelines depend on material availability, weather, and project size, but here are typical averages for Friendsville projects: • Roof replacement: 1–3 days for asphalt shingles, 3–5 days for metal. • Siding replacement: 3–7 days for vinyl or fiber-cement on a 2,000-sq-ft home. We aim to start permanent work within one week of insurance approval, and we keep you informed of schedules, crew arrival times, and any weather-related delays.
