FAQs
Why is a hands-on roof inspection important after a storm in Elora?
High winds, hail, and driving rain common in Wellington County can loosen shingles, dent flashing, or create hidden leaks that aren’t visible from the ground. A certified roofer physically checks every slope, valley, vent, and fastener, documenting damage with photos so you have an accurate repair or replacement plan and evidence for insurance claims.
How soon should I schedule an inspection once the storm has passed?
Within 24–72 hours. Prompt inspections limit further water intrusion, prevent mold growth, and ensure insurance deadlines aren’t missed. Most insurers require damage to be reported quickly, and early documentation establishes that the storm—not normal wear—caused the issue.
What does your storm-damage inspection in Elora include?
We start with a safety assessment, then climb the roof to evaluate shingles, flashing, chimney caps, vents, skylight seals, gutters, and attic decking. Inside the home we check insulation, rafters, and ceilings for moisture or staining. You receive a written report, high-resolution photos, a recommended scope of work, and an itemized estimate.
Will you help me with my insurance claim?
Yes. We provide the inspection report, photo evidence, and a line-item estimate formatted to insurer standards. Our team can meet the adjuster on-site to point out damage and answer technical questions, increasing the likelihood of a fair settlement and reducing claim processing time.
How much does storm-damage roof restoration typically cost in Elora?
Costs vary with roof size, material, and severity of damage. Minor shingle repairs may start around $450–$900, while partial re-roofing can range from $4–$7 per square foot. A full asphalt-shingle replacement on an average Elora home falls between $8,000 and $14,000. Your out-of-pocket expense depends on your deductible and policy coverage.
How long will repairs or a full replacement take once approved?
Small repairs can be completed in a single day. A full shingle replacement on a 2,000-sq-ft roof usually takes 2–3 working days, weather permitting. We prioritize weather-tightness, so emergency tarping is installed immediately if material lead times or prolonged rain delay the final work.
