FAQs
What are bruised shingles and how can I identify them after a storm in Grandview?
Bruised shingles are asphalt shingles whose protective granules have been knocked loose by hail or flying debris, leaving a dark spot and a soft "bruise" that feels spongy when pressed. In Grandview’s frequent spring and summer hail events, look for circular dark marks, exposed asphalt, or small divots on the shingle surface. If you can safely access the roof, gently press the dark spot—if it gives way like the skin of a peach, the shingle is bruised and its waterproofing is compromised.
Why is it important to repair or replace bruised shingles right away?
When the granule layer is removed, UV rays rapidly degrade the exposed asphalt, causing the shingle to crack, curl, and leak. In Grandview’s humid climate, moisture can then penetrate the roof deck, leading to mold growth, rotten wood, and interior ceiling stains. Addressing bruised shingles quickly prevents costly structural repairs, keeps your manufacturer warranty valid, and ensures your home meets local building codes before the next storm season.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover bruised-shingle storm damage in Grandview?
Most standard policies classify hail and wind as covered perils, so bruised shingles are usually eligible for a claim. Coverage depends on your deductible, roof age, and policy terms. After a storm, our team performs a free inspection, documents the damage with photos, and helps you file the claim. We meet the adjuster on-site, advocate for fair compensation, and provide the itemized estimate your carrier requires under Missouri insurance guidelines.
What does your storm-damage inspection and restoration process include?
1) Free on-site assessment within 24 hours of your call. 2) Comprehensive photo report of bruised shingles, vents, flashing, gutters, and attic moisture. 3) Temporary tarp or patch if active leaks are present. 4) Assistance with the insurance claim and adjuster meeting. 5) Complete shingle replacement or selective repair using Class 3 or Class 4 impact-resistant shingles approved for Grandview codes. 6) Final cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, and warranty registration. You receive a written labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s material warranty.
Can you match my existing shingle color and style when repairing storm damage?
Yes. We carry an extensive inventory from Owens Corning, GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko—the brands most commonly installed in Grandview neighborhoods. If your original color has been discontinued, we provide close-match alternatives and can re-roof slopes facing the street for a uniform look. Impact-resistant shingles are available in architectural (dimensional) and three-tab profiles, allowing us to preserve your home’s aesthetic while upgrading durability.
How long will storm-damage restoration take and what will it cost?
A typical single-family roof in Grandview takes one day to replace and two to three hours to repair isolated bruised areas, weather permitting. The cost depends on roof size, shingle type, and code-required upgrades such as ice-and-water shield or drip edge. For most insured losses, you pay only your deductible—often $500–$1,500. If you’re self-paying, minor repairs start around $350, while full replacements average $4–$6 per square foot. We provide a written quote before any work begins and offer financing options for out-of-pocket projects.
