FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Kingston?
First, ensure everyone’s safety—stay clear of downed power lines and unstable structures. If you can do so safely, take clear photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes. Next, call a professional roofing contractor that specializes in storm-damage restoration; temporary tarping or emergency patching may be needed to prevent water intrusion. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself—hidden structural damage or slippery shingles can lead to injuries.
How can I tell if my roof has hidden storm damage?
Not all storm damage is obvious from the ground. Warning signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, granules collecting in gutters, loose flashing, dents on metal components, and shingles that look warped or lifted. A professional inspection involves walking the roof, checking attic insulation for moisture, using infrared cameras to locate trapped water, and assessing the integrity of decking and fasteners. Annual or post-storm inspections help catch issues early before they become leaks.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs in Kingston?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, and falling debris, but coverage varies by insurer and policy type. You’ll typically pay a deductible, and cosmetic damage may be excluded. Document the damage immediately, keep receipts for any emergency repairs, and file your claim as soon as possible. A reputable roofing contractor can create a detailed damage report and meet with your adjuster to make sure all legitimate repairs are included in the settlement.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof repair calls in Kingston?
We offer 24/7 emergency response. In most cases, a technician can be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call, depending on weather conditions and road closures. The first priority is to stabilize the roof with tarps or shrink-wrap to stop active leaks. A full inspection and written estimate follow within 24–48 hours once conditions are safe for a thorough assessment.
What materials and methods do you use for storm-damage roof restoration?
Our crews are trained to work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and flat-roof membranes commonly found in Kingston. We replace damaged decking, underlayment, flashings, and ventilation components, not just the visible shingles. For shingles, we use matching or upgraded impact-rated products to improve future storm resistance. All work meets or exceeds Ontario Building Code (or local code) requirements and comes with manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Why choose a local Kingston roofing contractor for storm-damage repairs?
Local contractors understand Kingston’s unique climate, building codes, and permit processes, which speeds up restoration and ensures compliance. We have established relationships with area suppliers for faster material availability and can provide references from nearby homeowners. Staying local also means we’ll be around to honor warranties and perform follow-up maintenance, unlike out-of-town “storm chasers” who often leave once the initial rush of work is over.
