FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Clinton?
First, ensure your family’s safety by staying clear of any downed power lines or unstable structures. Next, document visible damage with photos or video from the ground—don’t climb onto the roof. Call a licensed, local roofing contractor for an emergency inspection and temporary measures such as tarping to prevent further water intrusion. Notify your insurance company as soon as possible and provide them with your documentation and the roofer’s initial assessment.
How can I tell if my roof has hidden storm damage?
Not all storm damage is obvious. Signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, granules from shingles collecting in gutters, attic moisture or mold, and higher energy bills caused by compromised insulation. Hail can leave small dents in shingles or flashing that are hard to see without a trained eye. A professional roof inspection is the best way to uncover hidden issues before they become costly leaks or structural repairs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most homeowner policies in Clinton cover sudden and accidental damage from wind, hail, or falling debris. Coverage typically includes the cost to repair or replace the damaged portion of the roof, minus your deductible. However, policies vary on depreciation and exclusions, especially for older roofs. Our team works directly with insurers, providing detailed inspection reports, photos, and an itemized estimate to help you navigate the claims process and maximize your eligible benefits.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak after a storm?
We offer 24/7 emergency services in the Clinton area and can usually have a crew on-site within a few hours of your call. Our first priority is to stop active leaks by installing tarps or temporary repairs. Once the roof is secure, we schedule a full inspection and provide a written proposal for permanent repairs or replacement, often within 24-48 hours.
How long does storm damage roof repair or replacement typically take?
Minor repairs—such as replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing—can usually be completed in one day. Moderate repairs may take 1-3 days, depending on material availability. A full roof replacement generally requires 2-5 days for an average-sized home, weather permitting. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins and keep you informed of any unexpected delays, such as additional hidden damage or severe weather.
