FAQs
How can I tell if my roof or gutters were damaged by a recent storm in Cumberland Gap?
Look for missing or cracked shingles, lifted flashing, granules collecting in downspouts, dents in metal gutters, sagging gutter sections, water stains on ceilings, or daylight showing in the attic. Because some issues are hard to spot from the ground, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation inspection. Our certified technicians use drones and moisture-detection tools to locate hidden leaks and structural damage before it worsens.
What should I do immediately after discovering storm damage to my roof or gutters?
1) Stay safe—avoid climbing on a wet or unstable roof. 2) Document visible damage with photos or video for insurance purposes. 3) Call our 24/7 emergency line; we can typically arrive in Cumberland Gap within a few hours. 4) If water is entering the home, place buckets or tarps inside to protect belongings. 5) Contact your insurance carrier to start a claim; we can meet the adjuster on-site to make sure all damage is noted.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm-related roof and gutter replacements?
Yes. We have dedicated claim specialists who understand Tennessee insurance regulations. We’ll provide a detailed inspection report, meet your adjuster, clarify confusing policy language, and negotiate supplements if hidden damage is uncovered. Our goal is to ensure you receive the full coverage you’re entitled to, while minimizing paperwork and stress on your end.
How soon can you replace my damaged roof or gutters, and how long will the project take?
Emergency tarp-offs can be done the same day. Full roof or gutter replacement is usually scheduled within 1–2 weeks, depending on material availability and insurance approval. A typical asphalt-shingle roof on an average Cumberland Gap home takes 1–2 days to replace; metal roofs take 2–3 days. Seamless aluminum gutter systems are often installed in less than a day. We always provide a written timeline before work begins and keep you updated if weather causes delays.
What materials and warranties do you offer for storm damage replacements?
Roofing: architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and impact-resistant Class 4 shingles—all rated for high wind and hail. Gutters: seamless aluminum, copper, and optional leaf-guard covers. Manufacturer warranties range from 25-year shingle warranties to lifetime metal warranties. Our workmanship warranty covers labor for 10 years, and extended warranty packages are available for added peace of mind.
How much will storm damage repair or replacement cost, and do you offer financing?
If your storm damage is covered by insurance, you’ll usually pay only your deductible. For out-of-pocket projects, roof replacements in Cumberland Gap average $7,000–$14,000 for asphalt and $15,000–$25,000 for metal, while seamless gutter systems range from $1,200–$3,500. We partner with local lenders to provide 0% interest plans for 12 months and low-interest terms up to 144 months, so you can restore your home without straining your budget.
