FAQs
What are the most common signs of storm damage to a roof in Crab Orchard?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, dented or bruised shingles from hail, granule loss collecting in gutters, bent or missing flashing, water stains on ceilings or attic decking, and debris impacts such as fallen branches. After high winds, also inspect for loose ridge caps or displaced metal panels on standing-seam roofs.
How soon should I contact a storm-damage specialist after severe weather?
Contact a qualified roofer as soon as it is safe to do so—ideally within 24-48 hours. Early documentation (photos, videos, and professional inspection notes) preserves evidence for insurance claims and prevents minor damage from turning into expensive leaks or structural issues.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard policies in Crab Orchard cover wind, hail, and fallen-object damage, but every policy differs. A storm-damage specialist can help you file the claim by supplying a detailed inspection report and estimate. You pay only your deductible if the claim is approved; the insurer covers the balance up to your policy limits.
What is the typical restoration process once damage is confirmed?
1) Free on-site inspection and photo documentation. 2) Emergency tarping or board-up if your roof is actively leaking. 3) Assistance with insurance claim filing and adjuster meeting. 4) Material selection that matches or upgrades existing roofing. 5) Tear-off of damaged sections and code-compliant replacement or full reroof. 6) Final walkthrough, debris cleanup, and warranty handoff.
How long does a storm-damage roof replacement usually take in Crab Orchard?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roofs can be replaced in one to two days once materials arrive and permits are approved. Complex roofs with multiple facets, skylights, or specialty materials (metal, tile) may take three to five days. Weather delays can extend timelines, but reputable contractors keep homeowners updated daily.
Why should I choose a local Crab Orchard storm-damage specialist instead of an out-of-town contractor?
Local specialists understand county building codes, typical storm patterns, and preferred materials for the region’s climate. They’re available for follow-up service, offer verifiable references in Crab Orchard, and are less likely to disappear after the job. Working with a local company also supports the community’s economy and ensures faster emergency response times.
