FAQs
How can I tell whether my roof or gutters in Cosby have sustained storm damage?
Look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, bruised or dented shingle surfaces (from hail), shiny or exposed roofing nails, and water stains on interior ceilings. For gutters, check for loose sections, sagging, detached downspouts, and visible dents or cracks. After high winds, inspect the ground for shingle granules or broken gutter pieces. If you are unsure, schedule a professional inspection; many reputable contractors in Cosby will perform a no-obligation storm-damage assessment.
What steps should I take immediately after storm damage occurs?
1) Put safety first—stay off the roof and out of flooded areas. 2) Document damage with photos and video from multiple angles. 3) Cover exposed areas with tarps to prevent further water infiltration. 4) Contact a local, licensed roofing contractor experienced in storm restoration; they can provide an emergency dry-in. 5) Notify your homeowner’s insurance carrier and start a claim. Having a contractor meet the adjuster on-site can help ensure all damage to the roof and gutter system is documented and fairly valued.
Does homeowner’s insurance typically cover storm-related roof and gutter replacements in Cosby?
Most standard policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or falling debris. Coverage usually includes the cost to remove the damaged roof, install new roofing materials of like kind and quality, and replace gutters if they are part of the claim. However, deductibles, depreciation schedules, and exclusions (such as pre-existing wear) apply. Review your declarations page and speak with your agent. A specialized storm-restoration contractor can supply the detailed scope of work and photos your insurer needs to process the claim smoothly.
How quickly can you replace my storm-damaged roof and gutters in Cosby?
Once insurance approval and material selection are complete, most single-family homes can have the roof replaced in one to two days and gutter systems installed the following day. Factors that may extend the timeline include severe decking damage, custom gutter fabrication, prolonged material backorders, or additional trades such as fascia or soffit repair. Emergency tarping can usually be provided within 24 hours of your call to protect the home while you wait for full replacement.
What gutter replacement options are available after a storm?
We offer seamless aluminum K-style gutters (the most common and cost-effective), durable 6-inch oversized systems for higher water flow, copper or steel gutters for enhanced durability, and half-round profiles for historic homes. Color-matched baked-on enamel finishes help gutters blend with new roofing. Accessories include heavy-duty hidden hangers, oversized downspouts, leaf guards, and splash blocks. Your estimator will evaluate roof square footage, pitch, and tree coverage to recommend the optimal size and material.
