FAQs
What is storm-grade underlayment and why is it important for Georgetown homes?
Storm-grade underlayment is a high-performance, waterproof membrane installed directly on the roof deck before shingles, metal panels, or tiles are applied. In Georgetown’s hail- and wind-prone climate, it serves as the roof’s last line of defense, stopping wind-driven rain, ice, and debris from penetrating the deck even if the primary roof covering is damaged during a storm.
How does storm-grade underlayment help protect my roof from wind and hail damage?
The material is reinforced with asphalt-saturated fiberglass or engineered synthetics that resist tearing and uplift in winds exceeding 130 mph. Its self-sealing surface bonds tightly around nails to prevent water entry, and an extra-thick top coating cushions impacts from hail, keeping the roof deck dry until repairs can be made.
What storm damage warning signs mean my underlayment may need replacement?
Missing or curled shingles, interior ceiling stains, damp attic insulation, granules in gutters, or daylight visible through the deck all suggest the underlayment may be compromised. After any severe hail or wind event in Georgetown, schedule a professional inspection to verify the condition of both shingles and underlayment.
How fast can your team respond to a storm damage restoration call in Georgetown?
We maintain 24/7 emergency crews in Williamson County and can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call. Temporary drying-in measures are applied immediately, and a detailed restoration plan—including underlayment replacement—follows once weather permits a full repair.
Is storm-grade underlayment compatible with different roofing materials?
Yes. The products we install are approved for asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, clay or concrete tile, and many synthetic shake systems. They meet or exceed ASTM D1970 and Florida Building Code standards, ensuring universal performance regardless of the finished roof covering you choose.
Will my insurance cover the cost of upgrading to storm-grade underlayment after a storm?
Most homeowners’ policies pay to restore your roof to its "pre-loss condition." If your previous roof already had a code-compliant underlayment, the insurer typically covers a like-kind replacement. However, because Georgetown follows the 2021 IRC, many policies also include "code upgrade" provisions that pay the difference for storm-grade underlayment when current codes require it. We handle the documentation and speak directly with adjusters to maximize your coverage.
