FAQs
What types of storm damage commonly affect asphalt shingle roofs in Graysville?
In our area, high winds, hail, and heavy rain are the main culprits. Wind can lift or crease shingles, hail can leave impact bruises and granule loss, and wind-driven rain can force water under the shingle tabs, leading to leaks and deck rot. After any severe weather event, it’s wise to have the roof inspected, even if you do not see obvious leaks inside the home.
How soon should I schedule an inspection after a severe storm?
Ideally within 24–72 hours. Quick documentation helps catch hidden problems before they spread and gives you timely evidence for an insurance claim. We offer priority post-storm inspections in Graysville, and our technicians can often be on-site the same day the storm passes.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs or replacement?
Most standard policies cover sudden, weather-related damage, but coverage details vary. We assist you by photographing damage, preparing a written report, meeting the adjuster on-site, and clarifying the scope of work. You are typically responsible only for your deductible if the claim is approved.
Should I repair or replace my asphalt shingle roof after storm damage?
If damage is localized (for example, a few missing or bruised shingles) and the roof is younger than 10–12 years, a repair is usually sufficient. Extensive granule loss, widespread creasing, or multiple leaks often indicate the need for a full replacement. During our inspection, we evaluate the shingle age, underlying deck condition, and manufacturer guidelines to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a typical storm damage restoration project take in Graysville?
Minor repairs can be completed the same day we start. A full roof replacement on an average-sized home usually takes one to two days once materials are on-site, weather permitting. The entire insurance process—from inspection to final payment—often spans two to four weeks, but we coordinate directly with your adjuster to keep the timeline moving.
What can I do to help prevent future storm damage to my asphalt shingle roof?
Schedule annual maintenance to replace loose fasteners and seal popped nails, trim overhanging tree limbs, and ensure gutters and downspouts stay clear so water can drain quickly. Consider impact-resistant Class 4 shingles when it’s time to re-roof; they hold up far better against hail and can lower insurance premiums. Finally, make sure attic ventilation is adequate, because trapped heat and moisture weaken shingles and make them more vulnerable during storms.
