FAQs
Why should I schedule a free roof inspection after a storm in Kodak?
Even minor wind, hail, or flying debris can loosen shingles, compromise flashing, and create leaks that may not be visible from the ground. A professional inspection identifies hidden damage early, documents it for insurance purposes, and helps you avoid costly interior repairs caused by untreated water intrusion. Because Kodak sits in the path of frequent spring-and-summer storms rolling off the Smoky Mountains, prompt inspections protect both your home’s value and your family’s safety.
What does your free storm-damage roof inspection include?
Our certified technician will: (1) examine shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracks, bruising, or dents; (2) check flashing, vents, and penetrations for lifted edges or sealant failure; (3) inspect gutters, downspouts, and fascia for impact damage; (4) look inside the attic for moisture stains, mold, or daylight openings; (5) photograph and document every issue with a written condition report; and (6) explain repair options and next steps on-site. The entire service is 100 % free with no obligation to purchase repairs.
How quickly can you inspect my roof in Kodak after severe weather?
We prioritize storm calls and can usually be on-site within 24 hours—and often the same day—once weather conditions are safe for roof access. Early contact ensures you meet most insurance companies’ 72-hour reporting window and prevents further damage from additional rainfall.
If damage is found, will you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We provide a comprehensive inspection report, high-resolution photos, and an itemized estimate formatted in Xactimate (the program adjusters use). Upon request, our project manager can meet your adjuster on-site to point out damage, answer technical questions, and advocate for all code-required repairs. This service is included at no extra charge to you.
How much does storm-damage roof repair or replacement typically cost?
Costs vary based on roof size, material, and extent of damage, but most insured homeowners in Kodak pay only their deductible when the claim is approved. For out-of-pocket work, minor shingle repairs may start around $350–$750, while a full asphalt roof replacement for an average 2,000 sq ft home ranges from $8,000–$12,000. We offer detailed written estimates, competitive pricing, and flexible financing plans if needed.
What happens if I delay repairing storm damage to my roof?
Waiting allows water to seep under compromised shingles, leading to rotten decking, mold growth, ruined insulation, and interior ceiling stains. Small punctures can expand in the next wind event, turning a simple repair into a full replacement. Insurance carriers may also reduce or deny coverage if they determine you failed to mitigate further damage. Prompt inspection and repair safeguard your home, preserve your policy benefits, and minimize total repair costs.
