FAQs
How can I tell if my flat roof in Cosby needs full replacement after a storm or just repairs?
Look for widespread membrane punctures, large areas of standing water, warped or separated seams, soggy insulation, and leaks appearing in multiple interior locations. If more than 25–30 % of the roof surface is damaged, most manufacturers and insurers recommend full replacement rather than piecemeal repairs, as patches rarely restore long-term waterproofing on flat roofs.
How fast can your team respond to storm damage emergencies in Cosby?
We operate a 24/7 emergency line for Cosby property owners. A crew can usually be on-site within 1–3 hours to install temporary tarps or shrink-wrap, photograph damage for insurance, and schedule a follow-up inspection. Fast response reduces water intrusion, mold growth, and the chance that insurers deny coverage for "neglect."
What flat-roof systems do you install for storm-resistant replacement in Cosby’s climate?
We specialize in TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems because they offer high wind-uplift ratings, welded seams, and UV resistance—critical for Cosby’s mix of strong summer storms and freezing winter snaps. For commercial buildings we often add a tapered poly-iso insulation layer to improve drainage and prevent future ponding, which is a major cause of storm-related failures.
Will my insurance pay for a storm-related flat-roof replacement?
Most policies that include "wind," "hail," or "named storm" coverage will pay for a full replacement if the roof is deemed a total loss. We provide detailed inspection reports, photos, and an Xactimate-formatted estimate to streamline your claim. We can also meet the adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is documented, helping you avoid out-of-pocket surprises.
How long does a flat-roof replacement take and will my business need to shut down?
An average 5,000 sq ft flat roof takes 3–5 working days from tear-off to final inspection, weather permitting. We stage debris removal and material loading to keep entrances clear, and we can schedule noisy work outside your business hours. In most cases tenants and employees can stay operational throughout the project.
What warranties and maintenance support do you provide after the replacement?
You receive a manufacturer’s 20- to 30-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranty on materials and labor plus our own 5-year workmanship warranty. We include a complimentary inspection after the first year and offer low-cost annual maintenance plans that clean drains, reseal flashings, and document condition—keeping your warranty valid and extending roof life.
