FAQs
How soon after a storm should I have my roof inspected in Sale Creek?
Schedule an inspection as quickly as it is safe—ideally within 24-48 hours. Quick inspections let us identify fresh damage before rainwater seeps deeper into the structure, document the condition for insurance claims, and install temporary protections if necessary. Because Sale Creek often sees follow-up showers after severe weather, fast action greatly reduces the risk of interior water damage and mold.
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
From the ground, look for missing or lifted shingles, bent or missing metal panels, pockmarks from hail, dented flashing, granules collecting in downspouts, and sagging or wet spots on the decking. Inside the attic or upper rooms, check for new water stains, damp insulation, or daylight showing through the sheathing. If you’re uncertain or can’t access the roof safely, call our team—inspections are free and we use drones and moisture meters to spot hidden problems.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs?
Most policies written in Tennessee cover sudden damage caused by wind, hail, or fallen debris, minus your deductible. Our staff helps you review your policy, document damage with photos and inspection reports, and meet with the adjuster to ensure nothing is missed. Once the claim is approved, we handle repairs or full replacement to manufacturer specifications and bill your insurer directly, so you only pay the deductible and any policy-excluded upgrades you choose.
How does your emergency tarping and leak mitigation service work?
If your roof is actively leaking or has exposed decking, we dispatch a crew—often within two hours for Sale Creek addresses. They remove loose debris, secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area, and install temporary flashing or boards around penetrations. This stabilizes the roof for 30–90 days until permanent repairs are scheduled. Our tarping is billed as part of the insurance claim and includes before-and-after photos for adjuster documentation.
Can you match my existing shingles or metal roofing when making repairs?
Yes. We carry a large inventory of Owens Corning, GAF, and Tamko shingles in the region’s most common colors, plus 26- and 29-gauge metal panels fabricated locally. If your exact product has been discontinued, we’ll provide the closest possible match or discuss partial or full replacement options to maintain uniform curb appeal. Our goal is to make the repair blend seamlessly with the rest of your roof.
Why choose a local Sale Creek roofing contractor for storm damage repairs?

Our crews can respond quickly, provide ongoing warranty service, and are available after out-of-town storm chasers leave.
