FAQs
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
After a wind or hail event in Cumberland Gap, inspect the ground around your home for blown-off shingles, check gutters and downspouts for large amounts of granules, look for dents on metal flashing, torn or lifted shingles, and water stains on interior ceilings. If you notice any of these, schedule a professional inspection right away because hidden damage can worsen quickly.
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a storm?
Storm damage is often subtle. Certified roofing specialists use trained eyes, moisture meters, and drone or camera technology to locate bruised shingles, compromised underlayment, and small punctures the average homeowner might miss. A documented inspection protects your warranty, provides the evidence insurers require, and ensures problems are corrected before they lead to leaks, mold, or structural decay.
How soon after a storm should I schedule a free inspection in Cumberland Gap?
Call as soon as the storm passes and it is safe to do so—ideally within 24–72 hours. Acting quickly lets us identify damage while it is fresh, mitigate active leaks immediately, and meet the deadlines most insurance policies set for filing a claim (often 30–60 days). Early documentation also prevents the next rain from causing interior damage.
What happens during your free storm-damage roof inspection?
Our technician arrives on time, reviews storm details with you, and performs a full exterior and attic assessment. We photograph shingles, flashing, gutters, vent boots, decking, and insulation. If damage is found, you receive a written report, photo evidence, and an honest repair or replacement recommendation. We also explain the insurance process and answer all questions—no cost, no obligation.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
In most cases, yes. Wind, hail, and falling-debris damage are covered perils under standard Tennessee homeowners policies. Coverage depends on your deductible, roof age, and policy exclusions. We guide you through filing, meet the adjuster on site, and provide all documentation to help maximize your claim and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
How quickly can you begin repairs if damage is found?
For emergency situations such as active leaks, we install temporary tarps the same day. Once the claim is approved (usually within 1–7 days after the adjuster visit), we can schedule full repairs or replacement within one to two weeks, subject to material availability. Our crews are locally based in the Cumberland Gap area, so we can mobilize quickly and keep your project on track.
