FAQs
How quickly can you respond to emergency storm damage in South Pittsburg?
Our on-call storm response team is available 24/7 and can usually arrive anywhere in South Pittsburg or the surrounding Marion County area within 1–2 hours of your call. We keep fully stocked service trucks ready during peak storm season so we can tarp, patch, or shore up damaged roofs immediately, preventing additional water intrusion until permanent repairs are made.
What signs indicate my roof has suffered storm damage even if I don’t see leaks?
Wind-blown shingles, lifted flashing, dented metal components, granule loss in gutters, water stains in the attic, and debris piles on the roof are all common after a severe storm. Hail can leave small impact marks that weaken shingles over time, and strong wind gusts often break the roofing seal, making the system more vulnerable with each subsequent storm. We offer free post-storm inspections using drones and moisture meters to detect hidden problems before they create interior leaks.
Will you assist with my insurance claim for storm-related roof repairs?
Yes. We document all damage with high-resolution photos, video, and written inspection reports that meet insurer requirements. Our staff can meet with your adjuster on-site, explain the scope of work, and provide a detailed estimate using the same Xactimate software most major carriers use. By handling the paperwork and negotiations, we help South Pittsburg homeowners receive fair coverage and avoid out-of-pocket surprises.
Can you perform temporary repairs to prevent further water intrusion until a full fix is scheduled?
Absolutely. If weather or material lead times delay permanent repairs, we install heavy-duty tarps, peel-and-stick underlayment patches, or emergency dry-in membranes rated for 90-day exposure. These temporary solutions are fastened securely to withstand South Pittsburg’s frequent wind gusts and heavy rain, giving you peace of mind while we finalize permits and material orders for a long-term repair or replacement.
What materials and techniques do you use to ensure repaired roofs withstand future storms?
We match or upgrade your existing roofing system with high-impact asphalt shingles, synthetic underlayments, Class 4 ridge caps, ice-&-water shields in valleys, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. For metal roofs, we replace compromised panels with 24-gauge steel or aluminum coated with Kynar 500 finish. All repairs follow manufacturer guidelines and the latest International Residential Code (IRC) standards, with wind-rating installations up to 130 mph—exceeding typical storm loads in South Pittsburg.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with local South Pittsburg building codes?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor license (HI-#####) and carry $2 million in general liability insurance plus full workers’ compensation coverage. Our project managers pull all required permits through the City of South Pittsburg Building & Codes Department and schedule final inspections. Years of local experience mean we know regional requirements for roof deck nailing patterns, drip-edge metal, and ventilation, ensuring your repair passes code and protects your home long term.
