FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Some signs are obvious—missing shingles, dented metal, or debris on the roof—but many problems are hard to spot from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles, wind can loosen flashing, and driving rain can force moisture under the roofing system. Because hidden damage often leads to leaks months later, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection even if your roof looks fine from the yard.
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a storm in Allardt?
Allardt experiences frequent high-wind and hail events. A certified inspector knows where these localized storms typically strike a roof, how to recognize subtle damage, and how to document it for insurance. Our trained team also follows OSHA safety standards, uses moisture-detection tools, and provides a written report, giving you peace of mind and a clear repair plan instead of guesswork.
What does your storm-damage roof inspection include?
1. Exterior assessment: We examine shingles, flashing, roof penetrations, gutters, and downspouts for impact marks, lifted edges, or sealant loss. 2. Attic check: We look for water stains, wet insulation, and daylight gaps that indicate structural compromise. 3. Moisture scan: Infrared or moisture meters locate hidden damp spots before mold or rot can start. 4. Photographic documentation: High-resolution photos and drone imagery (where permitted) go into a detailed report. 5. Repair estimate: We outline corrective actions, timelines, and material options so you can make informed decisions.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of repairs?
Most Allardt homeowners’ policies cover sudden, accidental storm damage, including wind and hail. Coverage varies by carrier and deductible, so we recommend reviewing your policy. Our inspection report is formatted to meet insurers’ requirements, and we can meet adjusters on-site to verify damage, improving your chances of fair compensation.
How quickly should I schedule a roof inspection after a severe weather event?
As soon as it’s safe. Small punctures can let water soak decking within 24–48 hours, leading to interior leaks and mold. Insurers also impose deadlines—many require a claim within 6–12 months of the storm. Calling us within a few days ensures timely documentation, prevents secondary damage, and keeps you within policy time frames.
Do you help with insurance claims and emergency repairs?
Yes. We provide temporary tarping or board-up services the same day to stop active leaks. Our staff then walks you through the claim process, from filing paperwork to meeting the adjuster and negotiating scope. Once approved, we schedule permanent repairs or a full roof replacement using manufacturer-certified materials that restore your roof to pre-storm condition or better.
