FAQs
Why is a detailed roof damage report important after a storm in Helenwood?
A detailed report documents the exact condition of your roof immediately after the storm. It includes photos, measurements, material specifications, and a written assessment of all visible and potential hidden damage. This documentation is critical for filing an accurate insurance claim, preventing disputes with your insurer, and ensuring you receive the full compensation needed to restore your roof to pre-storm condition.
How soon can you inspect my roof and deliver the report after severe weather?
We prioritize storm-related calls in Helenwood and can usually schedule an inspection within 24–48 hours of your request. The on-site inspection takes 60–90 minutes for an average-sized roof. You will receive the written report, high-resolution images, and repair recommendations within one business day after the inspection, so you can move forward quickly with insurance or repair decisions.
What information is included in your storm damage roofing report?
Our reports are comprehensive and include: 1) aerial and close-up photographs of all roof sections, 2) a diagram with exact measurements, 3) identification of shingle bruising, punctures, lifted flashing, missing granules, and structural issues, 4) moisture readings for decking and insulation, 5) an estimate of repair or replacement costs, and 6) recommended next steps for restoration in compliance with local Helenwood building codes.
Do you work directly with insurance companies on my behalf?
Yes. With your authorization, we can communicate directly with your adjuster, provide them with the report, answer technical questions, and meet them on-site if needed. This coordination helps speed up claim approval, ensures no damage is overlooked, and reduces the administrative burden on you.
What if there are hidden or non-visible damages?
Storms can cause moisture intrusion, deck separation, or fastener loosening that may not be visible from ground level. Our inspectors use drone imaging, moisture meters, and thermal scanning to uncover concealed issues. Any hidden damage detected is thoroughly documented so it can be addressed before it evolves into leaks or structural problems.
Is a damage report still worthwhile if my roof looks only slightly affected?
Absolutely. Minor-looking damage—such as a few missing shingles—can compromise waterproofing and escalate into major leaks or mold. Insurance carriers often require proof that damage is storm-related and not due to normal wear. A professional report provides that proof, gives you peace of mind, and can save significant repair costs down the road by catching problems early.
