FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged by a recent storm in Decatur?
Look for loose or missing shingles, granule buildup in gutters, dents in metal flashing, torn or displaced roof accessories, and interior signs such as water stains on ceilings or walls. Because Decatur storms often bring strong straight-line winds and hail, some damage can be subtle or hidden. A professional inspection is the safest way to verify the extent of storm impact.
What should I do immediately after noticing storm damage on my roof?
First, document everything with photos or short videos from the ground—safety comes first. If there is active leaking, place buckets or tarps inside to protect belongings. Call a trusted local roofing company for an emergency tarp or temporary waterproofing to prevent further water intrusion. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself; even seemingly minor damage can compromise its stability.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs in Decatur?
Most standard homeowners policies cover wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage minus your deductible, provided the roof was in good pre-storm condition. Coverage can vary by carrier and age of the roof, so it’s wise to review your policy’s "wind/hail" section. We can perform a free inspection, create a photo report, and give you the documentation an adjuster will request.
How fast can you respond, and how long does a typical storm restoration roof repair take?
For emergency calls within Decatur city limits we usually arrive within 4–6 hours, often sooner during business hours. Tarping or temporary dry-in typically happens the same day. Full repair or replacement schedules depend on material availability and weather, but asphalt shingle reroofs are commonly completed in one day, while complex restorations or specialty materials can take two to four days.
Will you assist with the insurance claim process for storm damage repairs?
Yes. We meet your adjuster on-site, provide a detailed scope of work with photos, and use Xactimate estimating software—the same program most insurers use—to ensure nothing is overlooked. We also review the adjuster’s report and communicate directly with the carrier for supplemental items if hidden damage is discovered during the project.
What materials and techniques do you use to ensure repaired roofs withstand future storms?
We install Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated shingles, high-wind rated ridge caps, synthetic underlayment, ice- & water-shield in valleys and around penetrations, and ring-shank nails for superior pull resistance. For low-slope sections we offer self-adhering modified bitumen or TPO. All installations meet or exceed Decatur building codes and manufacturer specifications, backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty and available extended manufacturer warranties.
