FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Corryton?
Ideally, you should book an inspection within 24–72 hours of any severe weather event. Prompt inspections help catch hidden damage—such as lifted shingles, punctures, and loosened flashing—before leaks form or further storms worsen the problem. Most insurance policies also require timely documentation, so acting quickly protects both your roof and your claim.
What signs of storm damage can I look for from the ground?
From a safe distance, check for missing or curled shingles, dark spots caused by granule loss, dented gutters or downspouts, and fallen branches on the roof. Inside, watch for new ceiling stains or damp attic insulation. Even if everything looks normal, wind or hail can cause subtle issues that only a professional inspection can uncover.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners policies in Tennessee include coverage for sudden and accidental damage from wind, hail, or fallen debris. However, insurers require clear evidence that the damage was storm-related and not due to age or neglect. A licensed roofing contractor’s inspection report, with photos and detailed notes, strengthens your claim and speeds up approval.
What happens during a professional storm damage roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors begin with a perimeter walk to note debris patterns, gutter condition, and wall flashing. We then climb onto the roof to examine shingles, vents, chimney caps, and ridge lines for impact marks or lifted edges. In the attic, we check decking, insulation moisture levels, and ventilation. Finally, you receive a written report with photos, recommendations, and an estimate for any necessary repairs or temporary emergency tarping.
How much does a roof inspection cost in the Corryton area?
For storm-related assessments, we waive our standard inspection fee for Corryton homeowners because insurance carriers typically cover the cost once a claim is filed. If no storm damage is found or you prefer a routine maintenance check-up, our inspection fee ranges from $99 to $149, depending on roof size and pitch.
Can you work directly with my insurance adjuster?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with adjusters in Knox County, providing the inspection report, photographs, and a detailed scope of work that meets insurer guidelines. Our presence during the adjuster’s visit ensures no damage is overlooked and helps expedite claim approval so repairs can begin as soon as possible.
