FAQs
How can I tell if my roof in Duff has hidden storm-related leaks?
Signs of hidden leaks include unexplained water stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors in the attic, peeling paint, or higher indoor humidity after a recent storm. Even if shingles look intact from the ground, wind-driven rain can enter through lifted flashing, nail holes, or shingle bruises that are hard to see. A professional moisture scan and attic inspection are the safest ways to confirm whether storm damage has created a hidden leak.
Why is it important to address storm damage and hidden leaks right away?
Small leaks quickly lead to bigger problems—rotted decking, mold growth, ruined insulation, and interior drywall damage. In Duff’s humid climate, mold can begin forming within 24–48 hours of water intrusion. Addressing storm damage promptly preserves your roof’s structural integrity, prevents costly interior repairs, and keeps insurance coverage straightforward, since most policies require timely mitigation of further damage.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage restoration?
Most homeowners’ policies in Duff cover sudden and accidental storm damage, including hail, wind, and falling debris. Coverage typically pays for necessary repairs or full roof replacement minus your deductible. We document all damage with photos, drone footage, and a written report, then work directly with your adjuster to ensure nothing is missed in the claim. Final eligibility and payout depend on your specific policy and the insurer’s inspection.
What is the typical process you follow for hidden leak detection and roof restoration?
1. Free on-site inspection with moisture meters, infrared imaging, and attic assessment. 2. Detailed damage report, repair recommendations, and itemized estimate provided within 24 hours. 3. Emergency tarping or temporary sealing if active leaks are present. 4. Claim assistance: we meet the adjuster, supply documentation, and negotiate scope. 5. Full restoration—shingle or metal roof repair/replacement, flashing upgrades, and decking remediation as needed. 6. Post-repair quality check and a transferable workmanship warranty. Throughout, we keep you updated with daily progress photos and texts.
How long does storm damage roof restoration usually take in Duff?
Minor shingle repairs or flashing replacements can be completed in one day. A full roof replacement on an average 2,000-sq-ft home typically takes 1–2 days once materials are on-site. Hidden structural repairs—such as replacing rotted decking or rafters—can add another day or two. Permit processing in Campbell County is usually quick (1–2 business days), so most projects are fully wrapped up within a week from approval.
What materials and warranties do you offer for storm damage roof repairs?
We install Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds and Class 3 or 4 impact resistance, as well as Galvalume or standing-seam metal roofs with Kynar 500® finish. Manufacturer warranties range from 25-year limited to lifetime coverage on materials. Our workmanship warranty is 10 years for repairs and 15 years for full replacements, transferable to the next homeowner—a valuable selling point if you decide to move out of Duff.
