FAQs
What situations count as an emergency roof replacement, and how fast can your Lynchburg crew get here?
An emergency roof replacement is needed when the damage is so severe that temporary repairs (such as a patch or minor shingle swap) can’t keep water or debris out of your home. Typical triggers include tree impact, large sections of missing shingles after high winds, extensive hail damage, fire damage, or a roof that has begun to sag or collapse. Because we keep a dedicated rapid-response team on call 24/7 for the Lynchburg area, a foreman can usually be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night, to assess the damage, install protective tarps, and schedule the full replacement—often starting the tear-off the very next business day once materials arrive.
Can you handle roof and siding problems in the same emergency visit?
Yes. Our company is licensed, insured, and staffed for both roofing and siding, so we can coordinate them simultaneously. During the initial emergency inspection we document roof and siding damage, create a unified scope of work, and assign separate crews that work in tandem. This approach shortens the overall project timeline, reduces the number of site visits, and ensures flashing, trim, and color selections are consistent between the new roof and the repaired or replaced siding panels.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for an emergency roof replacement after a storm in Lynchburg?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage caused by wind, hail, fallen trees, or fire—minus your deductible—provided the roof was in reasonable condition beforehand. We provide a written inspection report with photos, meet with your insurance adjuster on-site, and help you complete the claim paperwork. If the claim is approved, the insurer typically issues an initial ACV (Actual Cash Value) check to start the job and releases the recoverable depreciation once the roof is finished and we submit a completion certificate.
What roofing materials do you keep in stock for fast replacements, and can you match my existing color?
To speed up emergency projects we keep common architectural asphalt shingle colors (charcoal, weathered wood, driftwood, and estate gray) and 29-gauge ribbed metal panels in popular factory colors in our Lynchburg warehouse. We also have synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield, ridge vents, and starter strips on hand. If your exact hue isn’t stocked, we can usually order it within 24 hours or recommend a close match that satisfies most HOA guidelines and blends well with your existing siding or brick.
How do you protect my home and yard while performing an emergency roof replacement?
Before tear-off begins, we drape heavy-duty tarps from the eaves down to the ground to catch shingles and nails, cover landscaping and HVAC units with plywood barriers, and set up debris chutes to the dumpster. Inside the attic we install temporary plastic sheeting to catch dust. At the end of each day we run magnetic rollers across the lawn, driveway, and gardens to pick up stray fasteners and perform a full site walk-through with you or your representative.
What payment or financing options are available for urgent roof and siding projects?
We accept all major credit cards, personal checks, ACH transfers, and most insurance claim payments. For out-of-pocket costs we partner with local and national lenders to offer same-day approval financing, including 0% interest for up to 12 months or fixed-rate terms up to 144 months. We also provide a multi-trade discount when roof and siding work are completed together and offer a five-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty.
