FAQs
How can I tell if a recent storm has damaged or removed shingles from my Oakdale roof?
Look for bare patches where shingle tabs are missing, shingles that are cracked, curled, or lifted, and piles of granules in gutters or at downspouts. Inside the home, water stains on ceilings or damp attic insulation are strong indicators that wind-driven rain has found a path through the roof. Because some problems are hard to see from the ground, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection after any major wind, hail, or ice event.
If only a few shingles blew off, do I need a full roof replacement?
Not always. When damage is limited to a small, contained area and the surrounding shingles are still in good shape, a targeted repair can restore watertightness. However, if your roof is older, has widespread granule loss, or the underlying decking has gotten wet, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Our technicians will document the condition of the entire roof and give you honest options based on life-cycle cost, appearance, and insurance considerations.
How quickly should missing shingles be repaired after a storm?
Ideally within 24–48 hours. Missing or broken shingles expose the underlayment and decking, allowing rain to soak into the roof structure and even your living space. Rapid moisture intrusion can lead to mold, damaged drywall, and costly structural repairs. We offer 24/7 emergency tarping across Oakdale so your home stays protected until permanent repairs are completed.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related shingle damage?
Most Oakdale policies include wind and hail coverage, but each carrier has its own rules and deductibles. After our free storm inspection, we prepare a photo report and detailed estimate you can submit to your adjuster. We meet on-site with the insurer when needed, help with code-upgrade documentation, and bill them directly once the claim is approved. All you’re typically responsible for is your deductible and any policy exclusions.
What does your storm-damage restoration process involve?
1) Free roof and attic inspection. 2) Immediate temporary protection—tarping or shrink-wrapping—to stop active leaks. 3) Written estimate with shingle color options that meet Oakdale building codes. 4) Assistance with insurance claim filing and adjuster negotiations. 5) Scheduled repair or full replacement by certified crews, usually completed in one day for an average-size home. 6) Final cleanup with magnetic nail sweep, followed by a workmanship warranty and manufacturer’s shingle warranty registration.
Do you provide emergency service in Oakdale, and how fast can you arrive?
Yes. Our Oakdale-based response team is on call 24/7, 365 days a year. During a widespread storm event, we triage calls but can usually have a crew on-site within 2–4 hours for a temporary tarp or board-up. Because we keep shingles, underlayment, and decking materials stocked locally, we can often complete permanent repairs the very next clear day.
