FAQs
How can I tell if my Lynchburg home’s roof has storm damage?
Look for obvious signs such as missing or cracked shingles, piles of granules at the end of downspouts, dents in metal flashing or gutters, torn or curled shingle edges, and debris impacts on the roof surface. Indoors, check for water stains on ceilings, peeling paint around skylights, or damp spots in the attic. Because some damage is subtle and only visible from the roof level, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection after any severe wind or hail event.
Why is it important to repair storm damage right away?
Delaying repairs can allow small openings to become major leaks, leading to insulation saturation, mold growth, structural rot, and higher energy bills. Insurance companies also set strict deadlines—often 6–12 months—to file storm claims; waiting too long could leave you paying out of pocket. Fast action preserves your coverage, minimizes interior damage, and keeps repair costs from escalating.
What happens during your storm-damage roof inspection?
A licensed, insured technician will arrive at your Lynchburg property, document exterior damage with photos or drone imaging, assess the attic for hidden leaks, and check ventilation, flashing, and gutters. You’ll receive a written report explaining the extent of damage, recommended repairs or replacement, and an estimated cost. If you decide to file an insurance claim, we supply all documentation and meet with the adjuster to ensure nothing is missed.
Does homeowners insurance usually cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard policies in Virginia cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or fallen trees, minus your deductible. Coverage can vary by policy age, roof age, and type of storm, so review your declarations page. We help you navigate the claim, providing photos, measurements, and repair estimates that meet insurer requirements and advocating for full, fair compensation.
How fast can you respond to emergency roof damage in the Lynchburg area?
We have crews on call 24/7 for storm events. In most cases we can arrive within a few hours to install emergency tarps or temporary repairs that prevent further water intrusion. Permanent repairs or full replacement can usually be scheduled within days, depending on material availability and weather conditions.
