FAQs
What kinds of storm damage are most common to roofs in Huntland, TN?
In Huntland, high winds, hail, and driving rain are the biggest threats. Wind can lift or tear off shingles, hail can crack or bruise roofing materials and flashing, and heavy rain can exploit even minor weaknesses to create leaks. Because our area sits in a storm corridor, it’s not unusual for multiple types of damage to occur in a single weather event.
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged after a storm?
Signs include missing or curled shingles, dented metal flashing, granule loss collecting in gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, and debris piles or broken tree limbs on the roof. However, some issues—such as small punctures or hidden leaks—require a professional inspection with proper safety gear to identify.
What should I do immediately after discovering storm damage?
First, make sure everyone is safe and avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Take clear photos or videos of any visible damage from the ground. Call a licensed local roofing contractor for an emergency inspection and temporary protective measures such as tarping. Contact your insurance company promptly and provide the documentation you collected.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof storm damage repairs or replacement?
Most policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental storm damage, including wind and hail impacts, as long as the roof was in reasonable condition beforehand. Coverage details vary, so check your policy for deductibles, exclusions (like cosmetic-only hail damage), and time limits for filing a claim. Our team can provide a detailed inspection report and meet with the adjuster to help substantiate your claim.
How quickly can you restore my roof after a severe storm?
Emergency tarping or temporary patches are usually installed within 24 hours of your call to prevent further water intrusion. Full repair or replacement timelines depend on material availability and the scope of damage but typically range from a few days to two weeks once the claim is approved. We prioritize homes with active leaks and always keep you informed of scheduling.
