FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Gruetli-Laager?
Look for missing or curled shingles, dented metal flashing, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, or daylight showing in your attic. Because hail and wind damage can be hard to see from the ground, we offer free on-site or drone inspections so homeowners get a professional assessment without climbing a ladder themselves.
What should I do immediately after discovering roof damage from a storm?
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and stay clear of downed power lines or unstable structures. Next, call a licensed roofing contractor for an emergency inspection and temporary protection (such as tarping) to prevent further water intrusion. Document visible damage with photos or video—this will help with insurance claims. Avoid attempting major repairs yourself; walking on a storm-damaged roof is dangerous and can void warranties.
Does my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard homeowner policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or fallen debris. Coverage details vary by carrier, so check your policy or call your agent to confirm deductibles, exclusions, and claim deadlines. We work with all major insurers, and our detailed inspection report—complete with photos and repair recommendations—helps speed approval and ensures you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof repairs in Gruetli-Laager?
Because storms are unpredictable, we maintain an on-call emergency crew 24/7. In most cases we can arrive anywhere in Grundy County within two hours of your call. Our first priority is to secure the roof with tarps or shrink-wrap to stop active leaks; permanent repairs or replacement are scheduled as soon as materials and weather allow, usually within a few days.
Will you help me navigate the insurance claim process for my storm-damaged roof?
Yes. We meet adjusters on site to point out all damage, provide a line-item estimate using Xactimate (the same software carriers rely on), and handle supplemental paperwork if hidden issues are found once work begins. Our goal is to minimize your out-of-pocket cost and eliminate the stress of dealing with multiple phone calls and forms.
What repair methods and materials do you use to make sure my roof can handle future storms?
We follow Tennessee Building Code and manufacturer best practices, installing Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated shingles or upgraded metal panels when requested. Ice & water shield is placed in valleys and along eaves, and we use high-wind starter strips, ring-shank nails, and improved ridge vent systems rated for 130-mph gusts. Every job ends with a multi-point quality inspection and a written workmanship warranty, so you know your new roof is built to stand up to the next severe weather event in Gruetli-Laager.
