FAQs
How can I tell if wind has damaged my asphalt shingle roof in Thorn Hill?
Look for missing or curled shingles, exposed nail heads, lifted shingle tabs that don’t lay flat when the wind stops, and granules collecting in your gutters or on the ground. Indoors, check ceilings and attic spaces for damp spots or discoloration. Because some damage is hard to see from the ground, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection if you suspect your roof was hit by high winds.
What should I do immediately after I notice storm damage?
First, document everything—take clear photos or video of the visible damage from multiple angles. Next, cover any open areas with a tarp to prevent water intrusion if it’s safe to do so. Contact your insurance company to start a claim, then call a licensed local roofing contractor like us for a free on-site assessment. Acting quickly helps reduce secondary water damage and speeds up insurance processing.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover wind-torn shingles in Thorn Hill?
Most standard policies in Tennessee cover sudden wind and storm damage, including torn or missing shingles. Coverage typically applies to both repair labor and materials, minus your deductible. After our inspection we can create the detailed estimate your insurer requires and meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure all storm-related damages are included in the claim.
How fast can your team respond and restore my roof?
We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Thorn Hill. In most cases we can be on-site within a few hours to install temporary protection. Permanent repairs or shingle replacement usually begin within 1–3 business days after insurance approval or customer authorization. We keep a dedicated inventory of matching asphalt shingles to shorten wait times.
Can you repair just the damaged shingles, or do I need a full roof replacement?
If the wind damage is limited to a small, defined area and the remaining shingles are in good condition, a targeted repair is often sufficient. However, if more than 25–30 % of the shingles are missing, cracked, or nearing the end of their service life, a full replacement is more cost-effective and ensures uniform watertight protection. Our inspection report will outline both options so you can make an informed decision.
How can I protect my asphalt shingle roof from future storm damage?
Regular maintenance is key—schedule a professional roof inspection at least once a year and after major storms. Replace loose or aging shingles promptly, keep gutters clear to prevent water backup, and trim overhanging tree limbs that can scrape or puncture shingles in high winds. When it’s time for new roofing, consider upgraded wind-rated shingles (Class F/110 mph or Class H/150 mph) and install proper attic ventilation and fastening patterns that meet or exceed Tennessee’s current building codes.
