FAQs
Why are roof inspections important after gusty Missouri winds?
Central Missouri experiences frequent wind events that can loosen shingles, bend flashing, and create hidden leaks. A professional inspection identifies damage early, preventing water intrusion, mold, and costly structural repairs. Catching problems within days of a storm also supports timely insurance claims and helps maintain manufacturer warranties on your roofing materials.
What signs of wind damage should I look for on my Jefferson City home?
Common indicators include missing or lifted shingles, granule loss collecting in gutters, bent or detached metal flashing, cracked ridge caps, and debris piles on the roof. Inside the attic, look for damp insulation, water stains, or daylight shining through the decking. Even if you don’t see obvious issues, winds over 45 mph can break the seal between shingles, so a professional check is still recommended.
How often should I schedule professional roof inspections in mid-Missouri?
We recommend two inspections each year—once in the spring after winter storms and once in the fall before freeze-thaw cycles begin. Additionally, schedule an inspection after any severe wind event producing gusts above 50 mph or hail. Regular visits help you plan maintenance, extend roof life, and keep insurance documentation current.
What does your Jefferson City wind-damage roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive 20-point assessment: ground-level visual survey, on-roof examination of shingles, fasteners, flashing, vents, chimneys, skylights, gutters, and downspouts; attic moisture and ventilation check; infrared scan for hidden leaks (if requested); photos and drone footage of problem areas; and a written report with repair recommendations and cost estimates, delivered within 24 hours.
Will my homeowners insurance cover wind-related roof repairs?
Most policies written in Missouri include coverage for sudden, accidental wind damage but exclude wear-and-tear. We document all storm-related issues with time-stamped photos, weather data, and a detailed inspection report to help you file a strong claim. Our team can meet with your adjuster on-site, clarify the scope of damage, and negotiate to ensure you receive fair compensation for approved repairs or replacement.
How quickly can you inspect and repair my roof after a storm in Jefferson City?
During storm season we offer priority scheduling for Jefferson City residents. Inspections are typically available within 24–48 hours of your call. If we find critical damage, we can install emergency tarping the same day to prevent water intrusion and have a repair crew on-site within 3–5 business days, subject to material availability and weather conditions.
