FAQs
What types of storm damage are most common to roofs in Grandview?
In Grandview, roofs are most often affected by high-wind uplift, large hail impacts, and heavy rain intrusion. Spring and early-summer hailstorms can fracture shingles and dent metal panels, while straight-line winds often lift or tear off shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. Sudden downpours can exploit any small opening, leading to leaks and soaked attic insulation. Our inspectors are trained to identify each of these damage types and recommend the right repair or replacement solution.
How soon should I schedule an inspection after a severe storm?
We recommend booking a professional inspection within 24–72 hours of any major weather event. Early assessments help document damage before it worsens and provide time-stamped evidence for insurance claims. Waiting weeks can allow hidden leaks to spread, mold to develop, or insurance deadlines to pass, potentially reducing your payout. Our Grandview crews keep emergency slots open after big storms so we can get to your property quickly.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most Grandview homeowners’ policies cover sudden, storm-related damage such as wind-torn shingles, hail strikes, or tree impacts—provided normal maintenance was up to date. We assist you through the entire claim process: photographing damage, meeting with the adjuster on-site, and supplying detailed estimates that match carrier guidelines (Xactimate line items). If only a portion of the roof is damaged, we also help argue for full-section or full-roof replacement when required by code or shingle color mismatch laws.
What is the typical timeline for storm damage roof restoration?
From initial call to project completion, most Grandview storm restorations follow this timeline: 1. Same day–48 hrs: Free inspection & emergency tarping if needed. 2. 3–7 days: Insurance adjuster meeting and claim approval. 3. 1–3 weeks: Material selection, permitting, and job scheduling (lead times depend on shingle availability and city permit volume). 4. 1–2 days: Tear-off, decking repairs, and new roof installation. 5. 1–2 days: Final cleanup, permit close-out, and insurance invoicing. Weather, material backorders, or supplemental claim items can extend the schedule, but we keep you updated at every step.
Do you offer upgrades that can better protect my roof against future storms?
Yes. Many Grandview homeowners choose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, SBS-modified asphalt shingles, or standing-seam metal panels to withstand hail and high winds. We also install synthetic underlayment, ice & water shield in valleys, and enhanced ridge ventilation. Upgrading to a 130 mph wind-rated shingle can lower insurance premiums by up to 25% and extend the roof’s service life. Our project manager will explain the cost difference and any local rebates or insurance discounts available.
What should I do immediately after noticing roof damage?
1. Stay safe—avoid climbing on the roof. 2. Photograph visible damage and any interior leaks for documentation. 3. Call our 24/7 emergency line for a free inspection and temporary tarping. 4. Prevent additional water entry by moving valuables away from leaks and placing buckets under drips. 5. Contact your insurance carrier to open a claim; provide them with the date and time of the storm event. Taking these steps quickly helps minimize secondary damage and ensures a smoother, faster restoration process.
