FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection after a storm in Kingston?
Kingston experiences strong winds, heavy rain, and occasional hail that can loosen shingles, puncture membranes, and damage flashing. A professional inspection detects hidden problems—such as lifted shingles, granule loss, and moisture intrusion—before they lead to leaks, mold, or structural decay. Early detection saves money and helps validate insurance claims with documented evidence.
What are the most common signs of storm damage I can look for from the ground?
From a safe vantage point, look for missing or curled shingles, dark or bare spots where granules have washed away, dented metal vents, displaced flashing, and debris piles in gutters. Inside your attic or ceilings, watch for damp insulation, water stains, or musty odors. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional inspection immediately.
What does your storm damage roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a 30-point assessment: exterior evaluation of shingles, flashing, vents, chimney caps, gutters, and fascia; interior attic check for leaks, wet insulation, and structural integrity; moisture meter readings; thermal imaging for hidden water intrusion; photo documentation; and a detailed report with repair recommendations and cost estimates.
How much does a storm damage roof inspection cost in Kingston?
For Kingston homeowners, we offer complimentary visual inspections after severe weather events. If you need a full diagnostic inspection with moisture mapping and drone imaging, pricing starts at $149 for single-family homes up to 3,000 sq ft. Larger or complex roofs are quoted individually, and inspection fees are credited toward any repair work we perform.
Will you help with my insurance claim for storm-related roof damage?
Yes. We provide a written inspection report, high-resolution photographs, and repair estimates tailored to insurance requirements. With your authorization, we can meet the adjuster on-site, clarify technical details, and advocate for a fair settlement, streamlining the claim process and reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
How quickly can repairs start if you find storm damage?
After the inspection, you’ll receive the report within 24 hours. For urgent issues like active leaks, we can install emergency tarps the same day. Once you approve the repair proposal—or once insurance authorization is received—most standard shingle repairs can begin within 2–5 business days. Larger restorations or full replacements are typically scheduled within 1–2 weeks, weather permitting.
