FAQs
What are wind-lifted shingles and why is prompt repair important?
Wind-lifted shingles are asphalt, metal, or composite shingles that have been loosened or peeled back by high winds. Even if the shingle hasn’t blown completely off, the seal strip is broken, exposing nail holes and underlayment to rain. This accelerates leaks, mold growth, and deck rot. Addressing the problem quickly prevents more costly structural damage and keeps your manufacturer’s warranty and any insurance claim valid.
How can I tell if my Crab Orchard roof has wind damage after a storm?
From the ground you may notice shingles bent upward, creased, or missing entirely. Granules at the ends of downspouts, shiny nail heads showing, or small water stains on interior ceilings are also red flags. Because some damage is invisible from below, we recommend a professional roof inspection; our team uses drones and on-roof assessments to document hidden issues safely.
What should I do immediately after discovering wind-lifted shingles?
1. Stay safe—avoid climbing onto a wet or unstable roof. 2. Take wide-angle and close-up photos of visible damage for insurance. 3. Call our Crab Orchard storm response line; we offer 24/7 emergency tarping to stop active leaks. 4. Contact your insurance carrier to open a claim; we can meet the adjuster on-site to ensure all damages are recorded.
Is wind-lifted shingle repair covered by homeowners insurance?
Most standard HO-3 and HO-5 policies in Tennessee and West Virginia treat wind and hail as covered perils. If the storm event caused the shingles to lift, your insurer typically pays for repair or full replacement (minus deductible) as long as the roof was in reasonable condition beforehand. We provide photo evidence, moisture readings, and itemized estimates that align with Xactimate pricing used by carriers, helping maximize your eligible reimbursement.
How fast can your crew reach my property in Crab Orchard for storm damage service?
During storm season we station dedicated crews in and around Crab Orchard. In most cases we can perform a free inspection within 24 hours—and same-day emergency tarping within 2–4 hours of your call. For full restoration, materials are usually delivered within 1–3 business days, and most asphalt shingle roofs are completed in a single day once permits and insurance approvals are in place.
