FAQs
How can I tell if my Clairfield roof has suffered wind damage?
Common signs include missing, cracked, or curled shingles, exposed or lifted flashing, granule loss that leaves bare shingle spots, and new water stains in your attic or on interior ceilings. After a wind event, it’s smart to walk around your home with binoculars or call a professional for a closer look, because not all damage is visible from the ground.
Why is a professional wind-damage roof inspection important?
A qualified roofer can spot subtle problems—such as loosened fasteners, hidden membrane tears, or compromised sealant—that homeowners often miss. Documenting these issues early prevents small breaches from turning into leaks and provides the detailed report you’ll need if you decide to file an insurance claim.
What does your Clairfield roof-inspection process involve?
We start with a ground-level assessment and photos, then climb the roof to examine shingles, flashing, vents, and ridge caps. We check the attic for moisture intrusion, measure shingle lift with a gauge, and use drones for hard-to-reach sections. Afterward, you receive a written condition report, high-resolution images, and repair or replacement recommendations.
How soon should I schedule an inspection after a windstorm?
Book an inspection as quickly as possible—ideally within 48–72 hours. Prompt documentation links the damage to the specific storm date, strengthens insurance claims, and prevents additional harm from rain that can seep through newly created vulnerabilities.
Will my homeowners insurance cover wind damage discovered during the inspection?
Most standard policies in Tennessee do cover windstorm damage, subject to your deductible and policy limits. Our detailed inspection report includes photos, measurements, and repair estimates that meet insurer requirements. We can also meet adjusters on-site to verify findings and help streamline your claim.
How much does a wind-damage roof inspection cost in Clairfield?
A stand-alone wind inspection typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. If we find significant damage and you proceed with our repair or replacement services, we credit the inspection fee toward the project cost. Basic storm-check walk-throughs are often provided at no charge for existing customers.
