FAQs
What types of storm damage to my roof should I look for after severe weather in Lookout Mountain?
Common signs include missing or lifted shingles, dented or punctured metal panels, granule loss that exposes the shingle mat, cracked tiles, bent gutters, water stains on ceilings or attic sheathing, and debris impacts from limbs or hailstones. High winds that funnel through Lookout Mountain’s ridges can also loosen flashing around chimneys and valleys. Even if the roof looks intact from the ground, hidden damage can let water infiltrate; that’s why we recommend a professional inspection after any hail, wind event, or heavy downpour.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a storm strikes the Lookout Mountain area?
Immediately, or within 24–72 hours if it’s safe. Rapid assessment limits further water intrusion, documents fresh damage for insurance, and allows us to install temporary tarps before the next rain. Because our crews are local to Lookout Mountain, we can usually be on-site the same day you call, even during peak storm season.
Are your storm-restoration crews licensed, insured, and familiar with local building codes?
Yes. Our lead roofers hold state‐required residential contractor licenses for both Georgia and Tennessee, carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and are OSHA-trained. We pull all necessary permits from Dade County or Hamilton County, follow the 2018 IRC wind-uplift requirements, and meet the Lookout Mountain Historic Zoning guidelines when applicable.
Can you help me file and negotiate my insurance claim?
Absolutely. We provide a full photographic inspection report, itemized Xactimate estimate, and meet your adjuster on-site to ensure every line item—shingles, flashing, decking, gutters, and interior repairs—is documented. While you remain the policyholder, our in-house claim specialists guide you through paperwork, depreciation schedules, and mortgage‐company endorsements so you receive the full settlement you’re entitled to.
How long does storm damage roof restoration take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Lookout Mountain can be fully restored within 1–3 days once materials are on hand. Emergency tarping or board-up happens on Day 1. After insurance approval, tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, and shingle or metal replacement typically require another 1–2 days, weather permitting. Complex slate or tile roofs, or homes with structural repairs, may take a week. We provide a written schedule and daily progress updates.
What roofing materials and warranties do you offer for storm repairs?
We install GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, DaVinci composite, and Ludowici clay or slate to match existing architecture. All shingle systems include a factory-registered 50-year non-prorated material warranty and our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Metal panels carry a 40-year finish warranty. Because we are GAF Master Elite contractors, upgraded warranties are available that also cover tear-off and disposal should you experience another storm event.
