FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has suffered storm damage?
Warning signs include missing or cracked shingles, dented metal flashing, lifted shingle edges, water stains on ceilings or walls, excessive granules in gutters, and visible debris impact points. Because some issues (such as loosened fasteners or small punctures) are hard to see from the ground, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection after any significant hail, wind, or lightning event in Caryville.
Why is it important to hire a certified roof inspector in Caryville?
Certified inspectors have formal training, manufacturer-approved credentials, and state licensing that ensure your roof is evaluated to current building codes and ASTM standards. Our Caryville team holds HAAG Residential & Commercial Roof Inspector certifications, so we can document damage accurately for insurance purposes, recommend code-compliant repairs, and validate warranty eligibility on popular systems like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning.
What happens during your storm-damage roof inspection?
1) Safety setup and roof access using fall-arrest gear. 2) Detailed exterior survey of shingles, flashing, vents, skylights, and gutters—photographing and marking all impact zones. 3) Attic inspection for moisture, daylight penetration, and insulation damage. 4) Moisture-meter testing of decking. 5) Written condition report with annotated photos, repair scope, and estimated cost. 6) If requested, we meet your insurance adjuster on-site to explain findings and expedite your claim.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most Caryville policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, falling limbs, or lightning. Coverage depends on policy type (ACV vs. RCV), age of the roof, and maintenance history. After our inspection we provide a documentation packet (photos, diagrams, damage codes) that you submit with your claim. We can review your policy, answer adjuster questions, and help you navigate supplemental or depreciation payments so you maximize coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
How fast can you respond to an emergency roofing situation after a storm?
Our Caryville storm-response crews are on call 24/7. We typically arrive within 2–4 hours of your call to perform temporary tarp-offs or board-ups. Full inspections are scheduled within 24 hours, and permanent repairs or replacements are usually started within 3–5 business days once material and insurance approvals are secured—often sooner for critical leaks.
What roofing materials do you use for storm damage restoration, and how long will they last?
We install impact-rated asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and Class 4 modified SBS systems—all tested to ASTM D7158/D3161 wind ratings up to 130 mph and UL 2218 hail resistance. Asphalt shingle replacements carry 30- to 50-year limited lifetime warranties; metal systems can exceed 50 years with proper maintenance. We also use synthetic underlayments and ice-and-water shields to enhance weather resilience for Caryville’s high-humidity and storm-prone climate.
