FAQs
What immediate steps should I take if my roof is damaged by high winds in Maynardville?
First, ensure everyone’s safety by staying clear of any loose or dangling debris. Next, call our 24/7 emergency line so we can dispatch a crew to install temporary tarps or boards to prevent further water intrusion. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—strong gusts can persist after the storm. Document visible damage with photos from the ground for your records and insurance claim.
How do you determine whether my wind-damaged roof needs repair or full replacement?
Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive assessment that includes checking shingles, flashing, decking, and structural elements. We use drones and moisture meters to locate hidden leaks. If damage is isolated—such as a few missing shingles—we recommend targeted repairs. When more than 25-30 % of the roof is compromised, or underlying plywood is saturated, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and compliant with local building codes.
Can you help me with the insurance claim process for wind and storm damage?
Yes. We provide a detailed inspection report, photographs, and an itemized estimate formatted to insurance standards (Xactimate). With your permission, we meet the adjuster on-site to point out damage and answer technical questions. While we cannot negotiate your policy terms, our documentation and expertise often speed up approvals and maximize coverage for both repairs and full replacements.
How quickly can you start repairs after a storm in the Maynardville area?
Emergency tarping is typically completed within 4–12 hours of your call, depending on weather and crew availability. Permanent repairs or replacement can usually begin within 3–7 business days after materials are ordered and insurance approval (if applicable) is received. Because storms can cause a regional spike in demand, scheduling as soon as possible helps secure an earlier slot.
What roofing materials do you recommend for better wind resistance in East Tennessee?
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph winds are the most popular upgrade. Metal standing-seam roofs also perform exceptionally well in high-wind zones and carry longer warranties. We install shingles with six-nail patterns, enhanced starter strips, and hip/ridge cap systems to exceed current International Residential Code (IRC) requirements. For low-slope sections, modified bitumen with reinforced membranes offers superior uplift resistance.
Is there a workmanship warranty on your storm damage restorations?
Absolutely. All wind-related repairs come with a minimum 5-year workmanship warranty, while full roof replacements include a 10-year workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s material warranty (20–50 years depending on the product). If any issue related to our installation arises during the warranty period, we return at no charge to correct it.
