FAQs
How quickly can your team inspect my roof after a storm hits Lake City?
We keep emergency crews on standby during storm season and can usually be on-site within 24 hours of your call—often the same day if roads are clear. Rapid inspections allow us to identify safety hazards, photograph damage for insurance documentation, and install temporary protection before additional rain or wind causes further harm.
What visible signs indicate my roof may have storm damage?
Common signs include missing or lifted shingles, dented metal flashing, bruised or cracked shingles from hail, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, and debris piles in roof valleys. Even if everything looks intact from the ground, hidden damage can exist, so a professional inspection is strongly recommended after any severe wind, hail, or heavy rain event in Lake City.
Do you assist with the insurance claim process for storm-related roof damage?
Yes. Our specialists document damage with detailed photos, measurements, and written reports that meet insurer requirements. We’ll meet your adjuster on site, review their estimate, and advocate for all storm-related repairs—including decking, flashing, and ventilation components that are often overlooked. This hands-on support helps maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Can you provide temporary tarping or emergency repairs before full restoration?
Absolutely. If your roof is compromised, we install heavy-duty tarps, sealant, and board-ups to prevent water intrusion immediately after inspection. These interim measures stabilize the structure, protect your belongings, and remain in place until your insurance carrier approves the full restoration scope and materials are ready.
How long does a complete storm-damage roof restoration typically take?
For an average single-family home in Lake City, once approvals and materials are in hand, tear-off and reroofing usually take 1–3 days. Complex roofs or extensive structural repairs can extend the timeline to a week or more. We provide you with a detailed schedule, keep you informed of weather-related delays, and perform daily site cleanups to reduce disruption.
What warranties or guarantees back your storm-damage roof repairs?
All full roof replacements come with a manufacturer’s material warranty (up to 30–50 years depending on shingle type) and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. For partial storm repairs, we match existing manufacturer warranties when possible and honor a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty. You’ll receive written documentation for both before final invoicing.
