FAQs
How soon after a storm should I have my roof inspected in Lookout Mountain?
Ideally, you should schedule a professional inspection within 24–72 hours of any severe weather event. Hail, high winds, and heavy rain can create damage that worsens quickly if left unattended. Prompt inspections allow us to document issues for your insurance company, install temporary protection if needed, and prevent minor problems from turning into major leaks or structural concerns.
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
Common indicators include missing or lifted shingles, dented metal flashing, cracked or bruised asphalt shingles from hail, granule loss accumulating in gutters, bent or detached gutters, and water stains on ceilings or attic decking. After strong winds, you might also notice debris piles or broken branches lodged on the roof. If you see any of these red flags—or if you’re unsure—schedule a professional assessment right away.
Do you assist with insurance claims for storm-damaged roofs?
Yes. Our team provides full claim support: documenting damage with photos and written reports, meeting with the insurance adjuster on-site, and explaining the scope of work so your claim includes everything needed for a complete restoration. We understand the specific requirements of insurers operating in Georgia and Tennessee, and we help homeowners navigate paperwork to maximize coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Can you install a temporary tarp or emergency covering before full repairs?
Absolutely. If the roof has active leaks or exposed decking, we deploy emergency tarping or shrink-wrap systems the same day we perform the inspection when possible. These measures keep water out, protect interior finishes, and satisfy most insurance companies’ requirement to mitigate further damage while your claim is processed and permanent repairs are scheduled.
How long does a typical storm damage roof restoration project take?
Time frames vary with roof size, material, and weather conditions, but most asphalt-shingle replacements in Lookout Mountain are completed in one to two days once materials are on-site. Complex repairs involving decking replacement, specialty shingles, or metal roofing can take three to five days. We provide a detailed timeline after the inspection and keep you updated on scheduling, material delivery, and any weather delays.
Are you familiar with local building codes and HOA requirements in Lookout Mountain?
Yes. We stay current with building codes in Walker County (GA) and Hamilton County (TN) as well as Lookout Mountain’s unique zoning guidelines. Our project managers also coordinate with homeowners’ associations to ensure color, material, and ventilation selections meet community standards. Securing permits and arranging final inspections are included in our turnkey service, so you can be confident your new roof is fully compliant.
