FAQs
How can I tell if my roof or gutters have storm damage after a Caryville thunder-storm or hail event?
Look for missing, creased, or broken shingles; piles of granules in downspouts; dents in metal flashing; sagging or leaking sections of gutter; and water stains in your attic or on interior ceilings. Even if everything looks fine from the ground, winds above 50 mph can loosen shingle seals and hail can bruise shingles from the underside, so a professional inspection with photos is always recommended.
Why should I replace damaged gutters at the same time I repair my storm-damaged roof?
Your roof and gutter system work together to move water away from your home. If only the roof is repaired, bent or leaking gutters can still dump water near the foundation, cause fascia rot, or allow ice dams to form in winter. Combining both repairs ensures you maintain your manufacturer’s roof warranty, pass local building code inspections, and protect siding, windows, and landscaping in one coordinated project.
How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection in Caryville?
Ideally within 24–72 hours. Quick documentation prevents small punctures from becoming leaks, keeps mold from forming, and gives you timely evidence to file an insurance claim. Our team offers same-day emergency tarping and next-day drone/ladder inspections so you can meet the typical 14-day notification period most insurers require after a weather event.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs and gutter replacement due to storm damage?
Most Caryville policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or fallen limbs, including both the roof and attached gutters. You’ll be responsible for your deductible, and cosmetic damage may be excluded. We provide a detailed inspection report, meet the adjuster on-site to point out code-related items, and bill your carrier directly for approved work so you only pay the deductible and any elective upgrades.
What does the storm restoration process look like and how long will it take?
1) Free inspection and photo report (same or next day). 2) Insurance claim filing & adjuster meeting (3–7 days). 3) Material selection and permit pull (2–5 days once claim is approved). 4) Roof replacement (usually 1 day for an average 2,500-sq-ft home). 5) Gutter replacement and downspout realignment (½–1 day). 6) Final cleanup, magnet sweep, and warranty delivery. Weather permitting, most projects are fully completed within 10–18 calendar days of claim approval.
Do you offer emergency services if my roof is leaking or gutters are hanging off the house?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency tarping to stop active leaks, temporary gutter bracing, and debris removal. These services are billable to insurance under the "reasonable emergency measures" provision, so you won’t delay permanent repairs while waiting on claim approval. Our crews carry OSHA-compliant fall protection and arrive within 2 hours inside the Caryville city limits.
