FAQs
What is an “insurance-ready” roof inspection and why is it important for Graysville homeowners?
An insurance-ready inspection is a comprehensive, photo-documented evaluation of your roof that is formatted to meet the evidence standards of all major insurance carriers. Instead of a simple visual check, we measure shingle lift, document hail bruising, record wind-borne debris impact, and verify fastening patterns—all items adjusters look for when approving a claim. In Graysville, where spring hailstorms and late-summer wind events are common, having this level of detail dramatically increases the odds that storm damage will be recognized and covered rather than dismissed as "wear and tear."
How does your Roofing Done Right inspection process work from booking to final report?
1. Schedule: Call or book online and choose a morning or afternoon slot—most appointments are available within 48 hours for Graysville addresses. 2. On-site survey: A HAAG-certified inspector arrives, reviews your policy basics with you, then spends 45–60 minutes on the roof and in the attic collecting HD photos, core samples, moisture readings, and drone imagery when needed. 3. Same-day findings: Before leaving, we show you key photos and explain whether damage appears claim-worthy or minor. 4. Written report: Within 24 hours you receive a PDF and cloud link containing annotated photos, slope diagrams, repair estimates, and code citations specific to Jefferson County. 5. Follow-through: If a claim is warranted, we help you file online or by phone and upload all documentation directly to your carrier’s portal.
What roof issues do insurance adjusters in Graysville typically look for after a storm?
Adjusters look for storm-specific damage, not general aging. The most common triggers they approve in Graysville are: • Hail impacts that have fractured the shingle mat, leaving soft bruises or exposed fiberglass • Wind creasing or tearing on three-tab and architectural shingles—usually 60 mph gusts or higher • Lifted or missing ridge caps and hip shingles caused by straight-line winds • Bent or detached metal flashing around chimneys and valleys • Water intrusion evidence in decking or attic insulation within 48–72 hours of a storm. Our inspection highlights each of these items with time-stamped photos referenced to the exact storm date on NOAA storm reports, which helps satisfy the carrier’s burden of proof.
Can you help me file my insurance claim and meet with the adjuster?
Yes. Once our report confirms covered damage, we call the carrier with you to open the claim, email them the inspection packet, and schedule the adjuster meeting. On inspection day, our project manager is on-site to point out documented damage, discuss local building codes, and ensure no line items are missed in the adjuster’s scope. This representation is provided at no extra charge, and it frequently results in an additional 15–25 % in approved repair value compared to homeowners who meet the adjuster alone.
Do you work with all major insurance carriers and what documentation will I receive?
We work daily with State Farm, Allstate, Alfa, USAA, Travelers, and more than 20 regional carriers operating in Alabama. Each carrier receives: • A HAAG-certified roof inspection report (PDF) • A Xactimate-formatted repair estimate • Aerial CAD diagrams with pitch and square counts • Pre- and post-repair photo sets • City of Graysville permit receipts and manufacturer warranty letters after the job is complete. You receive identical copies for your records plus a homeowner summary written in plain language.
How quickly can you schedule my inspection and start repairs once the claim is approved?
Inspections: We hold two emergency slots per day during storm season and can usually see you within 24–48 hours. Claim approval to build: Once we have the carrier’s written scope, we order materials the same day and pull the Graysville roofing permit. Shingles typically arrive within 3–4 business days, and we place you in the next open crew slot—often within one week. For time-sensitive cases (active leaks), we provide temporary tarping at no cost while you wait. A standard asphalt shingle replacement on a 30-square roof is completed in one to two days, weather permitting.
