FAQs
How quickly can you respond to a storm-damaged roof in Jefferson City?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency line for Jefferson City and the surrounding Cole County area. In most cases, our crew can be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call, even during nights, weekends, and holidays. If widespread storms have affected the region, we triage calls by severity to make sure homes with active leaks or structural hazards are addressed first.
What signs of storm damage should I look for after severe weather?
After hail, high winds, or heavy rain, do a ground-level inspection. Look for missing or curled shingles, dented metal flashing, cracked tiles, granule piles in downspouts, bent gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, or daylight visible in the attic. If you suspect damage, avoid climbing on the roof yourself—call us for a free, no-obligation inspection using drones and infrared moisture scans.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs?
Most standard policies in Missouri cover sudden, accidental damage caused by hail, wind, and fallen limbs, minus your deductible. We provide full documentation, photos, and itemized estimates to streamline your claim and can meet with your adjuster on-site. If only part of the roof is damaged, we’ll help demonstrate "matching" issues so you receive approval for a full, uniform repair when required by state code.
Do you provide temporary tarping or emergency dry-in services?
Yes. If weather conditions or material availability delay permanent repairs, we install heavy-duty tarps or synthetic underlayment to stop active leaks immediately. These temporary measures are warrantied for 90 days and are billed directly to your insurance carrier whenever permitted, so you aren’t left with out-of-pocket costs while you wait for full restoration.
Can you work with all roofing materials common to Jefferson City homes?
Our licensed technicians are certified with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed for asphalt shingles, and we also service metal panels, standing seam, tile, and low-slope membrane systems used on many historic downtown buildings. We keep a local inventory of shingles that meet Jefferson City’s 90-mph wind rating, allowing us to match colors and profiles even when manufacturers are on backorder after a regional storm.
How do you ensure safety and quality during emergency repairs?
Every crew follows OSHA fall-protection guidelines, uses harnesses, and sets up perimeter warning lines and debris nets. We perform a post-repair quality audit that includes moisture meter readings, attic inspections, and photo documentation. All emergency work carries the same lifetime workmanship warranty as our scheduled repairs, giving you peace of mind long after the storm has passed.
