FAQs
What makes storm-rated shingles different from standard roofing shingles?
Storm-rated (or impact-resistant) shingles are engineered to withstand higher wind speeds—often up to 130 mph—and carry a Class 3 or Class 4 impact rating for hail. They feature heavier mats, reinforced nailing strips, and flexible asphalt blends that resist cracking under sudden temperature swings. In Luttrell, where spring and summer storms can bring straight-line winds and hail, these upgrades mean fewer blown-off tabs, reduced granule loss, and a longer service life compared with conventional three-tab or basic architectural shingles.
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after a wind or hail event in Luttrell?
Warning signs include lifted or missing shingles, creased tabs, excessive granules in gutters, dents on metal flashings, punctures from debris, and water stains on interior ceilings. Hail bruises can be tricky to see from the ground, so we recommend scheduling a no-obligation inspection within 24–48 hours of the storm. Our certified technicians photograph every finding, create a written damage report, and guide you on whether a repair, a partial replacement, or a full roof restoration is warranted.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage restoration and new storm-rated shingles?
Most policies written in Tennessee include wind and hail coverage under the dwelling protection section. If your roof was in good condition before the storm and the damage is sudden and accidental, the carrier typically pays for the like-kind replacement—minus your deductible. We assist by: • Documenting damage with photos and inspection notes • Meeting the adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked • Supplying a detailed Xactimate estimate that matches insurer formatting • Handling any supplement requests for code upgrades such as ice-and-water shield or drip edge. Upgrading to storm-rated shingles may even qualify you for a small insurance premium discount once the project is completed.
How long does a typical storm damage roof restoration take from start to finish?
Timelines can vary based on material availability and insurance approvals, but the average sequence in Luttrell looks like this: 1. Inspection & claim filing: 1–3 days 2. Adjuster meeting & claim approval: 5–10 days 3. Material ordering & delivery: 2–4 days after approval 4. Tear-off and shingle installation: 1 day for most homes under 40 squares, 2 days for larger or steep-slope roofs 5. Final cleanup & insurance paperwork: 1–2 days. In many cases, homeowners have a fully restored, code-compliant roof within three weeks of the storm.
Do you provide emergency tarping or temporary repairs right after a storm?
Yes. Protecting the interior of your home is priority #1. If a storm leaves your roof exposed, our crews can usually arrive the same day to install heavy-duty tarps, seal punctures, or re-secure loose flashing. These temporary measures are billable to the insurance claim and prevent further water intrusion while the permanent restoration is scheduled.
Why choose a local Luttrell contractor for installing storm-rated shingles?
Local knowledge matters. We understand the micro-climate patterns of Union County—where wind gusts funnel through the Clinch Mountain gaps and hail tracks often follow Highway 131. We’re familiar with county building codes, permit requirements, and the preferred installation techniques for steep, older farmhouses vs. newer subdivisions. Being nearby also means faster response times for inspections, emergency service, and warranty follow-ups. Lastly, your dollars stay in the community, supporting local jobs and ensuring we’ll still be here if you ever need us down the road.
