FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Englewood?
It’s best to have a professional inspection within 24–72 hours of a severe storm. Acting quickly allows us to document fresh damage before it worsens or evidence disappears, which helps with both repairs and insurance claims.
What signs of storm damage can I look for before calling a roofer?
From the ground you can check for missing or lifted shingles, dented gutters, loose flashing, granules collecting in downspouts, water stains on ceilings, and debris on the roof. If you notice any of these or hear unusual dripping indoors, schedule an inspection immediately.
Does an inspection cost anything, and what does it include?
Our Englewood storm-damage inspections are free. We perform a full exterior and attic assessment, document shingle condition, flashing integrity, gutter alignment, potential leaks, and any structural concerns. You receive a detailed report with photos and recommended next steps.
Will you help me file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Yes. We provide the photographic evidence, written damage assessment, and repair estimate your insurer needs. We can also meet with the adjuster onsite to ensure all storm-related issues are noted, helping maximize your claim.
Can minor hail damage really shorten my roof’s lifespan?
Absolutely. Even small hail can bruise shingles, break their asphalt seal, and expose the matting underneath. These micro-fractures allow water infiltration that accelerates aging, leading to leaks and premature roof failure if left unrepaired.
How long will repairs take once damage is confirmed?
Most storm-related repairs in Englewood are completed within 1–3 days after materials arrive. Full roof replacements typically take 1–2 days for average-sized homes. Weather, material availability, and insurance approvals are the main factors that can affect the timeline.
