FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Chattanooga?
Stay safe first—avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. From the ground, take photos or video of visible damage such as missing shingles, bent flashing, or fallen branches. If water is entering the home, place buckets or tarps inside to protect belongings. Then call Roofing Done Right for a same-day emergency inspection; we’ll deploy tarping crews within hours to prevent further water intrusion and begin documenting damage for your insurance claim.
How can I tell if my roof has hidden storm damage?
Some storm damage isn’t obvious from the street. Signs include granules collecting in gutters, water stains on ceilings or attic decking, unexplained spikes in energy bills, and musty odors. Our Haag-certified inspectors perform a 20-point assessment that checks shingles, flashing, decking, attic ventilation, and moisture levels. We also use drones and infrared cameras to locate trapped moisture or missing insulation that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most Chattanooga policies cover wind, hail, and fallen-tree impacts, minus your deductible. Roofing Done Right provides full claim assistance: we meet the adjuster on-site, supply photos, Xactimate estimates, and code-upgrade documentation to maximize coverage. If only part of the roof is damaged, we negotiate for full replacement when state building codes or material discontinuation require it. You pay only your deductible and any elected upgrades.
How long does a professional storm damage roof inspection take?
A typical single-family home inspection lasts 45–60 minutes, including attic evaluation and gutter check. Larger or steep-slope roofs may take up to 90 minutes. Before we leave, you receive a photo report, repair versus replacement recommendations, and a written cost estimate. Because storm damage claims are time-sensitive, we can transmit all documentation to your insurer the same day.
Why choose Roofing Done Right for storm damage repair in Chattanooga?
We’re locally owned, licensed, and insured, with over 15 years of storm-response experience in the Tennessee Valley. Our crews are GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified, enabling us to offer 50-year material warranties and 25-year workmanship coverage.

What materials and methods do you use to ensure my repaired roof withstands future storms?
We recommend Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles or standing-seam metal panels rated up to 130 mph winds. Every roof receives synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys and penetrations, 6-nail fastening patterns, ring-shank nails, and upgraded metal drip edge. We replace damaged decking, install ridge-vent systems for proper airflow, and seal all flashings with high-temperature roofing tape. These steps work together to reduce uplift, prevent leaks, and extend service life—even through Chattanooga’s severe spring storms.
