FAQs
How can I tell if wind has lifted my shingles?
Signs include shingles that appear wrinkled, creased, or slightly raised along the bottom edge, exposed nail heads, granule loss beneath downspouts, or small water stains in the attic after a storm. Because the damage is often subtle from the ground, we recommend a professional inspection after any wind event exceeding 45 mph in Bluff City.
Why is prompt repair after wind-lifted shingles so important?
A lifted shingle no longer seals properly to the course below it, allowing rain-driven water to penetrate the underlayment and decking. Even a small area of uplift can lead to leaks, mold growth, and premature roof failure. Addressing the issue quickly prevents costly interior repairs and maintains your manufacturer’s warranty and insurance coverage.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm damage repairs for wind-lifted shingles in Bluff City?
Most standard policies classify wind-lifted shingles as “sudden and accidental” storm damage, which is typically covered after you meet your deductible. We document the damage with photos, create an itemized estimate using insurance-approved software (Xactimate), and meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked.
What restoration process do you follow after wind damage?
1. Free on-site inspection using drone and moisture-meter technology. 2. Emergency tarp or board-up if active leaks are found. 3. Detailed written report and photo documentation for you and your insurer. 4. Assistance with claim filing and adjuster coordination. 5. Removal of compromised shingles and underlayment. 6. Installation of new synthetic underlayment, matching shingles, and upgraded ridge ventilation if needed. 7. Final cleanup with magnetic nail sweep and a workmanship walk-through.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof damage in Bluff City and the Tri-Cities area?
Our crews are on call 24/7 and can typically arrive within 2–4 hours of your call. For widespread storm events, we prioritize homes with active leaks or safety hazards first, but all customers receive a same-day inspection and temporary protection.
Can wind-lifted shingles be repaired, or does the whole roof need replacement?
It depends on the shingle’s condition, age, and the extent of the uplift. If fewer than 25 % of the shingles are affected and the sealant strips are intact, spot repair or partial replacement may be sufficient. However, if the sealant is brittle, granules are missing, or multiple slopes are compromised, a full replacement is often more cost-effective and may be required by code or insurance guidelines.
