FAQs
What types of storm damage most often affect flat roofs in Lookout Mountain?
Because Lookout Mountain sits at a higher elevation and is exposed to sudden wind shifts, flat roofs here frequently suffer from wind-lifted membranes, punctures from flying debris, ponding water after heavy cloudbursts, and hail-bruised or cracked surfacing. UV exposure is also intense on the ridge, so seams that were weakened by the sun can split open when a storm rolls through. Our inspectors are trained to look for all of these local trouble spots so nothing is missed.
How soon should I schedule a repair inspection after a storm?
Immediately—ideally within 24–72 hours. Waiting allows water to migrate under the membrane and into insulation or decking, dramatically increasing repair costs and the likelihood of interior damage. We offer emergency tarping the same day you call and a full diagnostic inspection as soon as the weather is safe. Fast action also strengthens any insurance claim because it documents that you acted to mitigate further loss.
What is your step-by-step process for storm-damage restoration on a flat roof?
1) Emergency response: We secure loose edges, install tarps, and remove debris. 2) Digital inspection: Using infrared cameras and core sampling, we map every wet area, blister, and puncture. 3) Documentation: Photos, moisture-scan reports, and a written scope of loss are prepared for you and your insurer. 4) Repair or replacement plan: Depending on damage severity we perform targeted membrane patches, seam re-welding, insulation replacement, or—if more than 30 % is compromised—recommend a partial or full reroof with upgraded materials. 5) Final quality check: We water-test repaired sections, reseal all penetrations, and provide a maintenance checklist to prevent future issues.
Will you handle the insurance claim for my storm-damaged flat roof?
Yes. We have a dedicated insurance liaison who works directly with all major carriers licensed in Tennessee and Georgia. After our inspection we submit an Xactimate-formatted estimate, meet the adjuster on-site, and negotiate for full code-compliant repairs. All you need to do is open the claim and authorize us to discuss the roof on your behalf. We also keep you updated at every milestone so there are no surprises.
How much do flat-roof storm repairs cost and what factors affect the price?
Minor patching of a single-ply membrane can start around $750–$1,500, while widespread hail or wind damage that requires new insulation and a restored coating can range from $8 to $14 per square (100 ft²). Key cost drivers include: roof size, membrane type (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen), extent of water intrusion, code upgrades (added insulation R-value, edge metal), and access challenges unique to Lookout Mountain’s steep terrain. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate so you can see exactly where each dollar is going.
Do your storm-damage repairs come with a warranty?
Absolutely. Targeted repairs carry a 2-year workmanship warranty on labor and any new materials installed. If we install a new membrane system, you receive the manufacturer’s 15- to 25-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranty plus our 5-year labor guarantee. Both warranties are transferable, which can add resale value if you decide to sell your Lookout Mountain property.
