FAQs
How can heavy Tennessee storms affect my roof and siding in Andersonville?
Severe thunderstorms and high winds common in Anderson County can loosen shingles, dent or tear siding panels, and drive rain under roof coverings. Hail can bruise asphalt shingles and crack vinyl or aluminum siding. Repeated downpours may also expose existing weak spots, leading to leaks, mold growth, and structural decay if not promptly addressed.
What roofing materials hold up best against Tennessee’s high-wind and hail events?
Impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles (Class 4), metal standing-seam panels, and synthetic slate or shake products are all engineered for winds of 130 mph or more and resist hail penetration. We recommend Class 4 shingles or 24-gauge metal for most Andersonville homes because they balance storm resilience, curb appeal, and budget.
Do I need to replace my siding after every major storm?
Not necessarily. Our technicians perform a free post-storm inspection, looking for cracks, holes, warping, and loose fasteners. Minor dents in metal siding or small chips in fiber-cement can often be repaired. Full replacement is recommended when structural sheathing is exposed or when more than 20–25 percent of panels are damaged, which compromises weather resistance.
Will my homeowners insurance cover roof or siding repairs from storm damage?
In most policies, wind and hail are covered perils. After we document the damage with photos and a written assessment, you can file a claim. We meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure all affected areas are included in the scope. You are typically responsible only for your deductible, provided the damage is sudden and not due to deferred maintenance.
How quickly can you respond if a storm leaves my roof leaking?
We offer 24/7 emergency tarping and board-up services in Andersonville and surrounding communities. A crew can usually be on your property within two to four hours of your call, stabilizing the roof or siding until permanent repairs can be scheduled, usually within 7–10 days depending on material availability.
What preventive steps can I take to minimize future storm damage?
Schedule an annual spring roof and siding inspection, keep gutters clear to avoid water backup, trim tree limbs at least 6 feet from the roofline, and replace loose or missing shingles promptly. Upgrading to impact-rated materials and adding a waterproof underlayment or house wrap will further improve storm resistance and may lower insurance premiums.
