FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Evensville?
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and stay clear of downed power lines or unstable structures. Next, take pictures or video of visible damage from the ground—this documentation will help with insurance. If water is entering the home, place buckets or plastic sheeting inside and, if it can be done safely, cover obvious openings on the roof with a tarp. Then call a professional roofing contractor that specializes in storm damage; a reputable local company can often install an emergency tarp the same day. Finally, contact your homeowners-insurance carrier to open a claim and schedule an adjuster visit. Acting quickly limits additional damage and speeds up the claims process.
How can I tell if my roof has hidden storm damage?
Not all storm damage is obvious. Besides missing shingles, look for granules collecting at your downspouts, dents in metal flashing, cracked or bruised shingles, and water stains on ceilings or attic rafters. Inside the attic, use a flashlight to spot damp insulation, dark streaks, or daylight shining through deck boards. After hail, check metal vents and gutters for pockmarks; their presence usually means shingles took a similar hit. Because subtle bruising may shorten shingle life even if it doesn’t leak right away, schedule a professional inspection after any severe wind or hail event in Evensville.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs in Evensville?
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or falling debris. Coverage is subject to your deductible and the terms of your policy—some carriers apply a higher “wind/hail” deductible or pay Actual Cash Value (ACV) on older roofs. After a storm, call your insurer, describe the damage, and request a claim number. A qualified roofing contractor can meet the adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is documented. If the claim is approved, the insurer typically issues an initial payment for the work minus depreciation and your deductible; the balance is released after repairs are completed and invoiced.
How quickly can your team respond to emergency roof issues in Evensville?
We maintain a dedicated storm-response crew that is on call 24/7 during severe-weather season. In most cases we can be on-site within 4–12 hours of your call to perform an inspection and install a temporary tarp. Full repair or replacement schedules depend on material availability and weather, but we prioritize homes with active leaks and can usually start permanent work within 1–5 business days once the insurance scope and homeowner authorization are in hand.
Should I repair or replace my storm-damaged roof?
That depends on the roof’s age, the extent of the damage, and insurer guidelines. If damage is limited to a few shingles on a relatively new roof, a spot repair may be sufficient. However, mismatched shingles, underlying deck damage, or widespread granule loss can shorten the roof’s life and make full replacement more cost-effective—especially when insurance picks up most of the bill. Our inspection report includes photos, a repair vs. replacement cost comparison, and our professional recommendation so you can make an informed decision.
