FAQs
How can I tell if my Lake City home’s roof has hail damage?
Signs include dented or bruised shingles, granule loss creating dark spots, cracked or split shingles, and dents in flashing, gutters, or roof vents. Because some damage is subtle and may void warranties or shorten roof life, we recommend a professional inspection after any hailstorm that produces stones 1" or larger.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage roof repairs in Lake City?
Most standard policies do cover hail damage, but coverage varies by carrier and deductible. After a storm, contact your insurer promptly, document visible damage with photos, and schedule a certified roofing contractor like us for an inspection and written report to strengthen your claim.
How quickly should I schedule a roof inspection after a hailstorm?
Within 24–72 hours is ideal. Quick action prevents hidden moisture intrusion from worsening, preserves your right to file a claim within policy deadlines, and lets us install temporary protective measures if needed.
Can small hail really harm modern asphalt shingles?
Yes. Even hail as small as Âľ" can dislodge protective granules, exposing asphalt to UV degradation. Repeated small-hail events compound the damage. Metal, tile, and low-slope membranes can also sustain dents, cracks, or punctures.
What is the typical repair or replacement timeline?
For a standard single-family roof in Lake City, inspection and claim assistance take 1–2 days, insurer approval 1–2 weeks, and actual roof replacement 1–3 days once materials arrive. We coordinate with adjusters to keep the process moving and can provide emergency tarping immediately.
Will a hail-resistant roofing upgrade lower my insurance premiums?
Many Lake City insurers offer discounts for UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated shingles or metal panels. While upfront costs are slightly higher, homeowners often recoup the difference through premium reductions, fewer repairs, and longer roof life.
