FAQs
What are the most common signs that my shingle roof has been damaged by a storm in Dayton?
Look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles; dark spots or dents caused by hail; granule loss that exposes the asphalt layer; and lifted or creased tabs from high winds. Inside the home, water stains on ceilings or walls and a musty attic smell may also indicate storm-related roof damage.
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection?
In the Miami Valley’s fast-changing climate, it’s best to have your roof inspected within 24–72 hours of a severe storm. Prompt inspections help document fresh damage for insurance claims and prevent minor issues—such as small punctures or lifted shingles—from turning into leaks that require more extensive repairs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover a full roof replacement for storm damage?
Most standard policies in Ohio include wind and hail coverage, but approval depends on the extent of damage, roof age, and policy terms. We provide a free inspection, photo documentation, and a detailed report that you can submit to your carrier. Our team also meets with adjusters on-site to ensure all storm-related damages are noted and that you receive the fairest settlement possible.
How long does a typical storm-related roof replacement take?
Once materials are delivered and permits are in hand, an average Dayton-area asphalt shingle roof of 2,000–3,000 square feet can be removed and replaced in one to two days, weather permitting. Complex rooflines, decking repairs, or specialty shingles may add an extra day. We protect landscaping, clean up daily, and perform a magnet sweep for nails before we leave.
Can you match my existing shingles, or do I have to replace the whole roof?
If storm damage is isolated to a small area and the shingles are still manufactured, a partial repair may be possible. However, color fade and discontinued shingle lines often make an exact match difficult. When repairs would create a patchwork appearance or violate code, a full replacement provides a seamless look and makes future warranty claims easier.
Why hire a local Dayton roofing contractor instead of an out-of-town storm chaser?
Local contractors understand Montgomery County building codes, pull the correct permits, and are familiar with insurer guidelines specific to Ohio. We stand behind our workmanship with long-term warranties and are available year-round for follow-up service. Storm chasers often leave town once the work is done, making warranty claims difficult. Choosing a reputable Dayton roofer ensures accountability and quality that lasts through the next storm season.
