FAQs
How can I tell if my Harrison home’s roof has storm damage?
Look for missing or curled shingles, dented metal flashing, granules collecting in gutters, wet or discolored attic decking, and water spots on ceilings. Because wind gusts in Harrison often exceed 60 mph and hail is common in spring, damage may be subtle. A professional inspection with drones and moisture-meter readings is the safest way to confirm issues without risking injury.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a full roof replacement after storm damage?
Most policies written for Harrison residences include wind and hail coverage, but approval depends on the insurer’s adjuster verifying that the storm—not age or neglect—caused the damage. We document shingle bruising, torn underlayment, and compromised decking with photos, video, and a Haag-certified report to submit with your claim. We then meet the adjuster on-site to advocate for full replacement when repairs won’t restore code compliance.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a severe storm?
Within 24–48 hours. Harrison’s humid climate accelerates mold growth, and water can migrate into insulation and framing quickly. Prompt documentation also strengthens insurance claims because carriers tie payouts to the date of loss. We offer same-day emergency tarping to stop active leaks until the adjuster arrives.
What is the step-by-step roof replacement process you follow in Harrison?
1) Free inspection and written estimate. 2) Insurance coordination and code check against Harrison Building Department requirements (IRC 2018 with local amendments). 3) Permit acquisition. 4) Delivery of materials—impact-resistant shingles rated Class 4 for hail. 5) Tear-off down to the decking, disposal in covered dumpsters. 6) Deck repair or re-sheeting if moisture readings exceed 15 %. 7) Installation of ice-and-water shield on eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment elsewhere. 8) New flashing, vents, and drip edge. 9) Shingle installation with six-nail pattern. 10) Magnetic sweep, gutter cleaning, and final walk-through. 11) Submission of manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
How long does a roof replacement typically take in Harrison?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger or steep-slope roofs, decking replacement, or specialty materials like standing-seam metal can extend the timeline to three to four days. We monitor Harrison’s hourly forecasts and pause work if lightning or heavy rain is within 10 miles to ensure safety and prevent water intrusion.
