FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Graysville?
Put safety first—stay clear of downed power lines, loose shingles, or sagging ceilings. Next, document the damage with photos or video from the ground if possible. Call our 24/7 emergency line so we can dispatch a crew to tarp exposed areas and prevent further water intrusion. Finally, notify your insurance company that you have experienced storm damage and that a professional roofing contractor will be providing an inspection report.
How can I tell if driving rain has caused hidden roof damage?
Some signs appear inside: water stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, or paint bubbling. Outside, look for missing shingles, lifted flashing, granule buildup in gutters, or debris lodged under shingle edges. Because many leaks start small and behind the surface, we offer free, no-obligation storm inspections in Graysville that include moisture-meter readings and attic checks to uncover problems you may not see.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard policies in Alabama cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or driving rain, but every policy has limits and exclusions. After our inspection we provide a detailed damage report and photos in the format carriers require. If the loss exceeds your deductible, you may qualify for full replacement cost value (RCV) coverage, meaning you only pay the deductible. We recommend reporting the claim promptly—many insurers impose deadlines of 6–12 months from the date of loss.
How quickly can your team respond to an emergency roof leak in the Graysville area?
We maintain on-call crews year-round and can usually arrive anywhere in Graysville or surrounding Jefferson County within 1–3 hours of your call. Upon arrival we install temporary tarps or shrink-wrap to stop active leaks, remove storm debris, and schedule a follow-up inspection for a permanent repair plan.
Will you help with the insurance claim process?
Yes. Our storm-damage specialists work directly with adjusters to ensure all covered damages are documented. We meet the adjuster on-site, supply code-compliant repair estimates, and assist with any supplemental claims if hidden damage is discovered later. This hands-on approach saves homeowners time, reduces paperwork errors, and maximizes claim approval.
How long does storm damage restoration usually take, and what does it involve?
Timeline depends on damage severity and material availability. Minor shingle repairs might be completed the same day. A full tear-off and replacement on an average Graysville home typically takes 1–2 days once materials arrive and the claim is approved. The process includes: 1) initial inspection and emergency mitigation, 2) insurer approval, 3) scheduling and material delivery, 4) roof replacement with code-required underlayment and flashing upgrades, 5) final clean-up and magnetic nail sweep, and 6) warranty registration. We keep you informed at every step so there are no surprises.
