FAQs
How can I tell if my roof in McDonald needs professional repair or just minor maintenance?
Look for visible warning signs such as missing or cracked shingles, curling shingle edges, granules in your gutters, interior water stains on ceilings or walls, and daylight shining through the attic. Because McDonald experiences rapid temperature swings and periodic hailstorms, even small defects can worsen quickly, so it’s best to schedule a professional inspection if you notice any of these issues.
What does your ‘Diagnose the Problem’ roof inspection include?
Our multi-point inspection covers the entire roofing system: surface shingles or metal panels, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutter integrity, attic ventilation, insulation levels, and moisture mapping with infrared cameras. We document every finding with photos and provide a detailed report explaining the root cause of leaks or other problems, along with prioritized repair recommendations.
How fast can you respond to an emergency roof leak in McDonald?
For emergency leaks, we aim to arrive within 24 hours—often the same day—depending on weather and crew availability. Temporary tarping or patching is applied immediately to stop active water intrusion, followed by a full diagnostic assessment and permanent repair plan once conditions are safe.
Will roof repairs be covered by my homeowner’s insurance?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Sudden events like hail, windstorms, or falling branches are typically covered, while wear-and-tear or neglect is not. After our diagnosis, we supply a detailed inspection report and photographs formatted for insurance adjusters to help you file a claim and maximize eligible reimbursement.
How much does a typical roof repair cost in the McDonald area?
Minor fixes such as replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing usually range from $250–$600. Moderate repairs involving partial re-decking or valley replacement can run $800–$1,500. Extensive storm damage requiring structural work may exceed $2,000. All prices are estimates; we provide a precise written quote after completing our diagnostic inspection.
Will a roof repair extend the life of my existing roof, or should I consider full replacement?
Targeted repairs can add 5–10 years to a roof that still has sound decking and more than 30% of its service life remaining. However, if our diagnosis reveals widespread shingle failure, significant decking rot, or multiple active leaks, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. We’ll explain both options, including expected lifespan, upfront costs, and energy-efficiency benefits, so you can make an informed decision.
