FAQs
How can I tell if my shingles have lifted after a storm in Dandridge?
Look for visible gaps or curling along the shingle edges, missing granules around downspouts, or sections that appear uneven compared with the rest of the roof. From the ground you might notice shingles flapping in the wind. Indoors, sudden leaks or ceiling stains are also indicators. Because lifted shingles can be hard to spot from street level, scheduling a professional roof inspection shortly after severe weather is the safest way to confirm damage.
Why is it important to repair lifted shingles quickly?
Lifted shingles expose the underlayment and decking to moisture, increasing the risk of leaks, mold, and rot. Even a small section of raised shingles can lead to widespread water intrusion during the next rainstorm. Prompt repairs restore the roof’s water-shedding seal, preserve structural integrity, and often keep an insurance claim smaller and simpler.
What does your storm damage restoration process involve?
1. Free on-site inspection: Our certified technicians document all storm-related damage with photos and a written report. 2. Emergency protection: If active leaks exist, we install temporary tarps to prevent further water entry. 3. Insurance assistance: We meet with your adjuster, provide evidence, and help file the claim correctly. 4. Shingle replacement: Damaged or lifted shingles are removed, the decking is checked for rot, and new matching shingles are installed to manufacturer specifications. 5. Final quality check: We conduct a full walk-through, provide warranty paperwork, and clean up all debris from your property.
Will my homeowners insurance cover lifted shingle repairs caused by a storm?
In most cases, yes. Standard policies in Tennessee typically cover sudden and accidental damage from wind or hail, including lifted or blown-off shingles. Coverage may vary based on deductible, policy limits, and exclusions. We can review your policy with you, provide the documentation insurers require, and communicate directly with the adjuster to maximize your eligible benefits.
How long does a typical lifted-shingle restoration take in Dandridge?
For minor to moderate shingle lifting, repairs are often completed in a single day once materials are on site and the claim is approved. More extensive damage requiring partial roof replacement may take two to three days. Delays can occur if adverse weather continues or special-order shingles are needed to match an older roof color, but we keep homeowners informed at every step.
What can I do to minimize future storm damage to my roof?
• Schedule annual roof inspections to catch small issues before storms hit. • Ensure attic ventilation is adequate; trapped heat can weaken shingle seals. • Trim overhanging branches to reduce impact damage and allow wind to flow freely. • Upgrade to impact-resistant or higher wind-rating shingles during any re-roof. • Keep gutters clean so stormwater drains quickly instead of backing under lifted shingle edges.
