FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Halls?
Contact us as quickly as possible—ideally within 24–72 hours after the storm passes. Early inspections let us document fresh damage before temporary fixes or additional weather obscure the evidence, which is important for both timely repairs and successful insurance claims. Our Halls-based crews are on standby after major events and can usually be on-site the same or next business day.
What signs of storm damage can I look for from the ground?
From a safe vantage point you can often spot lifted or missing shingles, dented metal flashing, displaced ridge caps, granule accumulation at downspouts, and debris piled in valleys. Inside the home, check ceilings and attic decking for new water stains or damp insulation. However, many issues—such as small punctures from hail or hidden substrate damage—require a close-up inspection, so always follow up with a professional assessment even if everything appears normal from below.
What does your professional roof inspection include?
Our HAAG-certified inspector conducts a 20-point examination that covers shingle integrity, flashing, vents, gutters, chimney caps, attic ventilation, decking moisture, and structural alignment. We photograph and mark every area of concern, use moisture-reading equipment to detect hidden leaks, and evaluate surrounding exterior items (siding, fascia, skylights) that storms often impact. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report with annotated images, recommended actions, and an estimate for any necessary repairs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof damage?
Most standard policies in Tennessee treat wind, hail, and fallen-tree impact as covered perils, meaning you’re responsible only for your deductible if the adjuster agrees the damage was storm-induced. Our inspection report is formatted to match insurer documentation requirements, and we can meet your adjuster on-site to point out findings, helping you avoid under-scoping or claim denial. Coverage can vary by carrier and roof age, so review your declarations page or call us for a free policy walkthrough.
How long does a roof inspection and report take?
The on-roof portion usually takes 30–60 minutes for an average single-family home in Halls, though larger or steep-slope roofs can take longer. We strive to deliver the written report the same day, but during high-volume storm events it may take up to 24 hours. Emergency tarping or minor sealing can often be performed immediately after the inspection to prevent further water intrusion while you decide on permanent repairs.
What happens if you find damage—can you also repair the roof and handle the paperwork?
Yes. We are a full-service, licensed Tennessee roofing contractor. After the inspection we can provide a detailed repair or replacement proposal, schedule the work, and supply all supporting documents (photos, scope sheets, material lists) your insurer may request. Our team coordinates directly with adjusters, supplements for overlooked items, and keeps you updated until final payment and warranty registration are complete. This turnkey approach minimizes stress and ensures your roof is restored to pre-storm condition—or better—quickly and correctly.
