FAQs
What are the most common signs of storm damage to a roof in Cookeville?
After a strong wind, hail, or tornado-spawned storm, look for missing or lifted shingles, excessive granule loss that leaves bald spots, dented metal flashing or vents, cracked or bruised shingles from hail impacts, sagging or wet decking in the attic, and fresh water stains on ceilings or walls. You may also notice debris piles in the gutters or around downspouts, indicating shingle deterioration. Even if everything looks fine from the ground, hidden damage can shorten your roof’s life, so a professional inspection is recommended.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after severe weather?
Schedule an inspection as soon as it’s safe—ideally within 24–48 hours. Early documentation is vital for insurance claims and prevents small punctures or lifted shingles from turning into interior leaks. Our team offers emergency tarping the same day to keep water out until permanent repairs are made, and we provide free, no-obligation post-storm evaluations anywhere in Cookeville and the surrounding Upper Cumberland region.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or fallen trees. Coverage is usually either Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost Value (RCV). You’ll still be responsible for your deductible and for any pre-existing wear. We help you file the claim, meet with the adjuster, and provide photo evidence and a detailed Xactimate estimate so you receive the correct settlement. If the claim is denied, we can explain appeal options or affordable out-of-pocket repair plans.
What is your company’s process for storm damage restoration?
1) Inspection & documentation: We photograph and video every damaged section, including attic moisture readings. 2) Temporary protection: If necessary, we install tarps or shrink-wrap to stop active leaks. 3) Insurance coordination: You receive a written report and estimate that follows insurer formatting; we meet the adjuster on-site. 4) Material selection: Choose shingles, metal panels, or specialty products that match or upgrade your current roof. 5) Repair or replacement: Our certified crews remove debris, replace decking if needed, install underlayment/ice-water shield, and complete the new roof—usually in one day. 6) Final inspection & warranty: We conduct a 25-point quality check, register manufacturer warranties, and clean your property with magnetic nail sweeps.
Can you repair or replace different roofing materials common in Cookeville?
Yes. Asphalt architectural shingles are the area’s most prevalent, but we also service standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs, cedar shakes on historic homes, and low-slope membranes (TPO, EPDM) on porches or commercial buildings. Our crews are factory-trained to follow each manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring you keep your material warranty intact. We can source impact-resistant shingles that may qualify for insurance premium discounts, or color-match damaged metal panels so the repair blends seamlessly.
How long will a storm-damage roof repair or full replacement take, and what factors affect the timeline?
Minor shingle or flashing repairs can be completed in 2–4 hours. A full replacement on an average 2,000-sq-ft Cookeville home takes one to two working days, including tear-off and cleanup. Factors that can extend the schedule include material special orders (e.g., custom-colored metal), structural decking repairs, supply delays after widespread storms, permitting, and additional trades like gutter or interior drywall work. We provide a realistic timeline up front and keep you informed of any changes due to weather or material availability.
