FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a storm in Athens?
Heavy rain, hail, and high winds common to Athens can lift shingles, create hidden leaks, or weaken flashing. A professional inspection finds problems the untrained eye might miss, documents damage for insurance, and helps you address issues early—preventing costly interior repairs and mold growth.
What does your storm-damage roof inspection include?
Our HAAG-certified inspector checks shingles, flashing, vents, fascia, soffits, gutters, skylights, and the attic interior. We photograph damage, measure hail impacts, look for wind-lifted tabs, moisture intrusion, and structural issues. You receive a detailed written report, photo documentation, and repair or replacement recommendations.
How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection?
As soon as it’s safe. Minor leaks can turn into major structural problems within days. Most insurers also impose claim deadlines—often 30–60 days after the storm—so booking an inspection immediately protects both your home and your claim eligibility.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We supply the inspection report, photos, and an itemized estimate formatted to insurer guidelines. If requested, our project manager meets your adjuster on-site to make sure all storm-related damage is correctly documented and covered.
What signs of storm damage can I look for from the ground?
Check for missing or curled shingles, granules collecting in gutters, bent or detached gutters, dents in metal flashing, water stains on ceilings, and debris piles in roof valleys. If you spot any of these—or hear loud hail impacts—schedule a professional inspection right away.
How much does a storm damage roof inspection cost in Athens?
For Athens homeowners, our full storm-damage inspection is free when scheduled within 60 days of the storm event. If you need a real-estate or certification inspection outside that window, pricing starts at $149, which is credited toward any repair work we perform.
