FAQs
How do I know if my metal roof in Andersonville has hail damage?
Signs include visible dents or puckering on panels, chipped paint or coating exposing bare metal, loose fasteners, and leaks appearing after a storm. A professional inspection using magnetic rollers and drones can confirm the extent of damage that may not be obvious from the ground.
Will hail dents compromise the performance of my metal roof?
Minor cosmetic dents typically don’t affect waterproofing, but deeper impacts can break protective coatings, accelerate corrosion, loosen seams, and eventually cause leaks. Over time, this may reduce your roof’s energy efficiency and overall lifespan, so prompt evaluation is important.
Can individual metal panels be replaced, or do I need a full roof replacement?
In most hail events, only the affected panels need swapping. We match the profile, gauge, and color of your existing roof, remove the damaged sections, and re-secure the new panels without disturbing adjacent ones. Full replacement is recommended only if damage is widespread or the panels are no longer manufactured.
How long does hail damage repair usually take?
A typical Andersonville home with localized dents can be repaired in one to two days. Factors such as roof pitch, panel availability, weather, and the amount of underlying substrate damage can extend the timeline. We provide a detailed schedule during the inspection.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hail-related metal roof repairs?
Most policies in Tennessee classify hail as a covered peril. After we document the damage with photos and a written assessment, you can file a claim. We often meet adjusters on-site to ensure all repair costs—materials, labor, and code-required upgrades—are included in your settlement.
What preventive measures can I take to protect my metal roof from future hail storms?
Consider installing thicker-gauge panels (24- or 22-gauge), impact-resistant coatings, and high-density insulation boards beneath the panels to absorb shock. Regular maintenance—tightening fasteners, resealing seams, and keeping gutters clear—also helps the roof better withstand hail impacts.
