FAQs
What are the most common types of storm damage you see on roofs in Huntsville?
In the Tennessee Valley, we routinely encounter wind-lifted or missing shingles, hail-bruised shingle mats, dented metal panels, cracked or displaced flashing, and punctures from falling limbs. High humidity and sudden temperature swings can also cause rapid shingle granule loss after a storm, so we inspect for subtle signs that are easy to miss from the ground.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after severe weather?
Ideally within 24–72 hours. Quick documentation helps prevent small leaks from turning into structural rot or mold, and most homeowners-insurance policies require timely reporting of storm damage. We offer same-day emergency tarping and no-obligation inspections anywhere in Huntsville, Madison, or Owens Cross Roads.
Will you help me with my homeowners-insurance claim?
Yes. We perform a photo-documented inspection, prepare the written damage report that insurance adjusters expect, meet the adjuster on-site when requested, and invoice using Xactimate pricing (the industry standard). Our claim-assistance service is complimentary, and customers say it removes 90 % of the paperwork burden.
Is a full roof replacement always necessary after hail or high winds?
Not always. If damage is localized—say, a handful of shingles or a minor flashing bend—we recommend a spot repair to save you money. When large roof planes have widespread shingle bruising, missing tabs, or compromised underlayment, replacement usually becomes more cost-effective and is what insurers typically approve.
What roofing materials do you install for storm-resilient repairs or replacements?
We install impact-rated architectural shingles, Class 4 SBS-modified shingles that better resist hail, standing-seam metal panels with concealed fasteners, and synthetic underlayments that repel moisture even if shingles blow off. All materials meet or exceed the International Residential Code as adopted by the City of Huntsville.
How long will the repair or replacement take, and what does it cost?
Emergency leak stops or small shingle patches are usually completed the same day and start around $350. Standard insurance-approved full replacements on a 2,000 sq ft Huntsville home average one working day and cost $7,500–$13,000 depending on material upgrades, roof pitch, and decking repairs. Every project comes with a written timeline and a 5-year workmanship warranty.
