FAQs
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm in Winchester?
Contact us as soon as it is safe to do so—ideally within 24–48 hours after the event. Early documentation of wind, hail, or falling-debris damage is crucial for insurance claims. Our team can perform a no-obligation inspection, photograph all damages, and install temporary tarps if necessary to prevent further water intrusion.
What kinds of storm damage are typically covered by homeowners insurance?
Most standard policies in Virginia cover sudden and accidental roof damage caused by wind, hail, lightning, or fallen trees. Wear-and-tear, age-related deterioration, and pre-existing leaks are usually excluded. We review your policy with you and point out the clauses that apply before you file a claim.
How do you work with insurance adjusters during the claims process?
We meet the adjuster on-site, provide a detailed scope of damage, and supply Xactimate-formatted estimates that align with industry pricing. Our photo and drone documentation helps ensure nothing is overlooked, and we negotiate on your behalf to secure fair compensation for full restoration—not just patchwork repairs.
Do you offer emergency services if my roof is leaking right now?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency tarping and board-up services in Winchester and surrounding Frederick County communities. Temporary measures keep interiors dry while the claim is processed and permanent repairs are scheduled. Emergency costs are usually reimbursable under your policy’s additional living expenses or mitigation coverage.
How long will a full roof replacement take once the claim is approved?
Most single-family asphalt shingle roofs can be removed and replaced in one to two days, weather permitting. Complex roofs with steep pitches, multiple layers, or specialty materials (metal, slate, cedar) may take three to five days. We coordinate start dates around material delivery and adjuster approval to avoid delays.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with Winchester building codes?
Absolutely. We hold Virginia Class A Contractor License #2705-xxxxxx and carry $2 million in general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Our crews pull the required permits from Winchester’s Inspections Department, follow the 2018 Virginia Residential Code, and schedule all mandatory city inspections so your new roof meets or exceeds local standards.
