FAQs
What are the most common signs of storm damage to a roof in Calhoun?
After a strong wind, hail, or tornado system, look for missing or curled shingles, dark hail impact spots, dented gutters or flashing, granules collecting in downspouts, water stains on interior ceilings, and daylight visible in the attic. Even if damage is not obvious from the ground, a professional inspection can reveal hidden issues that may void warranties or grow into leaks.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for a storm-related roof replacement?
In most cases, yes—if the damage was sudden, accidental, and caused by a covered peril like wind or hail. After the storm, contact your insurer, document damage with photos, and schedule an inspection with a licensed local roofer. We meet with the adjuster on-site, provide a detailed report, and help you navigate paperwork to maximize your claim and minimize out-of-pocket costs (other than your deductible).
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
Immediately. Calhoun’s humid climate can turn small punctures into serious leaks within days. Insurers also impose filing deadlines—typically 30–60 days from the date of loss. A prompt inspection documents storm damage before it’s compromised by normal wear, ensuring a smoother claims process and reducing the risk of secondary water or mold damage.
How long does a full roof replacement take once approved?
For the average single-family home in Calhoun, a complete tear-off and replacement usually takes 1–2 days of on-site work, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may require up to a week. Permitting, material delivery, and insurance approvals can add lead time, but our streamlined process normally has your new roof installed within 2–3 weeks of claim approval.
Which roofing materials offer the best storm resistance for North Georgia weather?
Architectural asphalt shingles with Class 3 or Class 4 impact ratings are the most popular blend of cost and durability. Metal roofing (standing seam or stone-coated steel) excels against hail and 120-mph wind gusts, while synthetic slate and composite shake provide premium impact resistance with lower weight. We review each option’s lifespan, warranty, aesthetic, and budget to help you select the optimal solution for Calhoun’s hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional hailstorms.
Why choose a local Calhoun roofing contractor for storm damage repairs?
Local contractors understand Gordon County building codes, permitting requirements, and the specific storm patterns that affect our area. We can respond quickly for emergency tarping, maintain strong relationships with regional suppliers (reducing material delays), and back our workmanship with long-term, face-to-face support. Plus, working with a licensed, insured Calhoun roofer protects you from out-of-town “storm chasers” who often disappear once the work is done.
