FAQs
What does a no-obligation roof inspection involve and is it really free?
Yes. Our no-obligation inspection is 100 % free and comes with no hidden fees or contractual requirements. A certified roofing specialist visits your Lynchburg property, documents the entire roof with photographs and/or drone imagery, checks shingles, flashing, decking, gutters, and attic ventilation, and then provides a written report. You receive a clear explanation of any storm-related damage, an estimate for recommended repairs or replacement, and answers to all your questions. You decide if and when you want to move forward—there is absolutely no commitment.
How quickly can you inspect my roof after a storm in Lynchburg?
We prioritize post-storm calls and can usually be on-site within 24–48 hours, even sooner after severe weather events. Early inspection is crucial because insurance companies often impose deadlines for filing claims. If widespread damage makes same-day visits impossible, we place you on an emergency list and provide temporary tarp services to prevent further water intrusion until a full assessment can be completed.
What signs of storm damage should I look for before calling you?
Common indicators include missing, cracked, or curled shingles; dark spots where granules have been knocked off by hail; dents in metal flashing, gutters, or roof vents; lifted or displaced ridge caps; water stains on ceilings or walls inside the home; and excessive granules in downspouts. After high winds, check the yard for shingle pieces. Even if the roof looks intact from the ground, subtle damage may still exist, so an expert inspection is advisable.
Will you help me with my insurance claim for storm damage?
Absolutely. We document all damage with high-resolution photos and itemized notes that align with insurance adjusters’ formats. We can meet your adjuster on-site, explain our findings, and provide a detailed estimate using Xactimate (the industry-standard software many carriers use). While we cannot negotiate on your behalf, our thorough documentation and guidance often streamline the approval process and maximize your claim benefits.
How long does roof repair or replacement take once I approve the work?
Minor repairs such as shingle replacement or flashing resealing typically take one day. A full roof replacement for an average-sized Lynchburg home generally requires 1–3 days, depending on roof complexity, material selection, and weather. We handle permitting, material delivery, and debris disposal. You receive a project schedule in advance and daily updates until completion.
Are you licensed and familiar with Lynchburg’s building codes and climate challenges?
Yes. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to operate throughout Virginia, including Lynchburg, and we stay current on local building codes and permit requirements. Our crews install roofing systems designed for Central Virginia’s hot summers, cold winters, and frequent hail/wind storms, using code-approved ice-and-water shields, proper ventilation, and impact-rated shingles where requested. All workmanship is backed by a written warranty, and many of the manufacturers we partner with offer additional long-term material warranties.
