FAQs
How can I tell if my roof’s missing shingles require immediate restoration after a storm?
Look for bare spots where shingles have blown off, exposed underlayment or plywood, curled or lifted shingle edges, and granules collecting in gutters or on the ground. If you can see daylight through the decking in your attic or notice water stains on ceilings, the damage is urgent. Because Johnson City’s weather can change quickly, even a small area of missing shingles can allow wind-driven rain to penetrate the roof system and cause interior water damage, so prompt inspection and restoration are essential.
What steps should I take right after discovering storm damage to my shingles in Johnson City?
1) Stay safe—avoid climbing on a potentially unstable roof. 2) Document the damage with clear photos or video from the ground. 3) Cover any active leaks with plastic sheeting or tarps if you can do so safely. 4) Contact a local, licensed roofing contractor experienced in storm restoration to perform a professional inspection. 5) Notify your insurance provider and share the photos and contractor’s findings. Acting quickly helps prevent secondary damage and streamlines any insurance claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover replacing missing shingles caused by storms in Johnson City?
Most standard homeowners policies in Tennessee do cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, and falling debris, including missing shingles. Coverage can vary based on your policy’s deductibles, exclusions for cosmetic damage, and the roof’s age. After an inspection, we provide a detailed report with photos and a restoration estimate you can submit to your insurer. We can also meet with the adjuster on-site to clarify the scope of work and ensure all storm-related repairs are included.
How quickly can you respond to storm-related shingle loss in the Johnson City area?
We offer 24/7 emergency service. For most calls inside Johnson City and surrounding communities, a technician can be on site within 2–4 hours to perform a temporary dry-in or tarp installation. A full written assessment and restoration proposal are usually delivered within 24 hours, enabling you to move forward with permanent repairs or an insurance claim as fast as possible.
Can you match my existing shingles when replacing the missing ones?
Yes. We stock many common architectural and three-tab shingle lines used throughout Johnson City, and we have access to regional distributors for specialty colors or profiles. If the exact shingle has been discontinued, we’ll source the closest available match and place replacements in less visible areas when possible. If matching is impossible or your insurance policy includes a “matching” provision, we’ll work with the carrier to approve a larger replacement section so the repaired roof blends uniformly.
What is the typical process and timeline for storm-damage roof restoration in Johnson City?
1) Inspection & Documentation (same day or next day) – We assess the entire roof, attic, and exterior, documenting damage for you and your insurer. 2) Temporary Protection (immediate) – We install tarps or synthetic underlayment over exposed areas. 3) Insurance Coordination (1–5 days, depending on adjuster availability) – We meet with the adjuster, provide estimates, and review the scope. 4) Material Ordering (1–3 days) – Once approved, we order shingles, underlayment, flashing, and accessories. 5) Restoration Work (1–2 days for typical single-family homes) – Crew removes damaged sections, replaces underlayment and flashing, installs new shingles, and cleans up thoroughly. 6) Final Inspection & Warranty (same day) – We walk the job with you, ensure satisfaction, and deliver warranty documents. Weather and material availability can affect scheduling, but most projects are completed within one to two weeks of approval.
