FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Coalmont?
Look for obvious clues such as missing or lifted shingles, dented metal, torn flashing, exposed underlayment, wet attic insulation, or water stains on ceilings and walls. Hail often leaves small circular bruises, while high winds crease or curl shingle tabs. Because many forms of damage aren’t visible from the ground, the safest and most reliable way to know is to schedule a professional inspection. Our Coalmont-based team offers free, no-obligation roof assessments that document all storm-related damage with photos and videos you can share with your insurer.
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Coalmont?
1) Make safety your first priority—stay clear of downed lines and unstable structures. 2) Prevent further loss by tarping obvious openings if you can safely do so; we can dispatch an emergency crew 24/7 for temporary protection. 3) Take date-stamped photos or videos of the damage and any interior leaks. 4) Contact your homeowner’s insurance carrier to start a claim and obtain a claim number. 5) Call us to perform a detailed inspection, generate a written report, and meet with your adjuster to ensure all damage is recognized and covered.
Does homeowner’s insurance typically pay for storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard HO-3 and HO-5 policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, and fallen trees, subject to your deductible. Coverage can vary based on policy type (Actual Cash Value vs. Replacement Cost), the age of the roof, and any cosmetic-damage exclusions. Code-upgrade endorsements may also influence payout amounts. We review your policy with you, explain deductibles and depreciation, and help you pursue every dollar you’re entitled to under Tennessee insurance regulations.
What is the step-by-step insurance claim process for roof storm damage?
1) Inspection & documentation—our certified inspector records all damage. 2) Claim filing—you provide your insurer with the claim and our evidence. 3) Adjuster meeting—we attend onsite to advocate for a fair scope of work. 4) Insurance estimate—the carrier issues an initial Statement of Loss. 5) Work authorization—you sign our contract for the approved scope. 6) Roof restoration—materials are ordered, permits pulled, and the roof is replaced or repaired to code. 7) Supplement & final invoice—any overlooked items are negotiated, and the insurer releases recoverable depreciation. You pay only your deductible and any agreed upgrades.
