FAQs
What should I do immediately after noticing missing shingles on my Maryville home after a storm?
First, photograph the damage for your records and insurance claim, then place a tarp or other temporary covering over the exposed area to prevent leaks. Contact a licensed local roofing company as soon as possible for an emergency inspection, and notify your homeowners insurance carrier to start the claims process.
How quickly can missing shingles turn into serious roof leaks or structural problems?
Even one storm-blown shingle can expose the underlayment and decking to rain, which may cause water intrusion within 24–48 hours. Repeated exposure accelerates wood rot, mold growth, insulation damage, and drywall stains, so prompt professional repair is essential to protect your home’s structure and indoor air quality.
Does homeowners insurance typically cover replacing shingles blown off in a storm?
Yes. Most standard HO-3 policies list wind and hail as covered perils, meaning the cost to replace missing shingles and repair related storm damage is generally covered after you pay your deductible. Coverage can vary, so review your policy, document the damage, and have a licensed roofer provide an inspection report to support your claim.
Can a roofer match new shingles to my existing roof, or will I need a full replacement?
A skilled roofing contractor can usually source identical or near-identical shingles by brand, color blend, and profile. If the original shingle is discontinued or the surrounding roof has significantly faded, the contractor may recommend replacing an entire slope or, in some cases, the full roof to ensure a uniform appearance and preserve warranty coverage.
What is the typical timeline and process for storm damage roof restoration in Maryville?
1) Emergency inspection within 24 hours; 2) Temporary mitigation (tarping) the same day if needed; 3) Detailed written estimate and insurance adjuster meeting within 3–5 days; 4) Insurance approval and material ordering, usually 1–2 weeks; 5) Shingle replacement or roof restoration completed in 1–3 days of on-site work, weather permitting; 6) Final cleanup, inspection, and warranty hand-off.
Why should I hire a locally based Maryville roofing company for storm damage repairs?
Local roofers understand Blount County building codes, typical weather patterns, and preferred insurance-carrier documentation. They can respond quickly to emergency calls, are available for follow-up service, and depend on maintaining a good reputation in the community, so they tend to stand behind their workmanship and manufacturer warranties.
