FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Maynardville?
First, ensure everyone’s safety and avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Photograph visible damage from the ground, cover interior furnishings if water is entering, and contact our 24/7 emergency line. We can deploy a crew quickly to tarp vulnerable areas and schedule a full inspection once conditions are safe.
How can I tell if driving rain has caused hidden roof damage?
Beyond obvious missing shingles, look for signs inside the home: ceiling spots, damp attic insulation, peeling paint, or a musty odor. Outside, check for shingle granules in gutters, dented flashing, and lifted shingle edges. Our technicians use moisture meters and drones to detect damage the eye can’t see.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm damage restoration?
Most policies in Tennessee cover wind-driven rain, hail, and fallen-tree impacts. After our free inspection, we document damage with photos, diagrams, and a detailed report you can forward to your insurer. We’ll meet the adjuster on-site, help you file paperwork, and bill your carrier directly for approved repairs, so out-of-pocket costs are minimized to your deductible.
How long does the roof restoration process typically take?
Emergency tarping is done the same day. A full roof replacement in Maynardville usually takes 1–2 days once materials arrive and the claim is approved. Complex jobs involving decking replacement or interior repairs may take up to a week. We provide a timeline before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Do you use materials rated for heavy rain and high winds common to Union County?
Yes. We install Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, synthetic underlayment with 50-year warranties, and corrosion-resistant drip edge—all meeting or exceeding 130 mph wind ratings. These products are specifically chosen for the frequent downpours and wind gusts we experience in Maynardville’s valley terrain.
Are permits or inspections required for storm damage roof work in Maynardville?
For a full replacement, Union County requires a building permit and a final inspection. Our team handles the paperwork, pays the permit fee, and coordinates inspections with county officials. Repairs that only replace a few shingles typically don’t require a permit, but we still follow local codes for nailing patterns, flashing, and ventilation.
