FAQs
How can I tell if my McDonald home needs a full-roof replacement after a storm?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, granule piles at downspouts, bent or detached flashing, soft spots in the decking when you walk the roof, and water stains on interior ceilings. Because hail and high winds can create hidden damage that voids shingle warranties, we provide a no-cost, no-obligation inspection using drones and moisture-mapping tools. We document every issue with photos so you can see why a full replacement—not just a patch—may be the safest, most cost-effective option.
What happens during the storm-damage restoration and roof replacement process?
1) Free inspection and written report. 2) Assistance filing the insurance claim and meeting your adjuster. 3) Scheduling material drop-off and permitting with McDonald Borough or Robinson Township (as applicable). 4) Tear-off of all existing roofing down to the decking, followed by deck repairs if needed. 5) Installation of ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, flashing, ventilation upgrades, and your chosen shingle or metal panel system. 6) Magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup. 7) Final walkthrough, photo documentation, and registration of manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for a storm-related roof replacement?
In most cases, yes. If wind speeds exceeded your policy’s threshold or hail stones were ¾" or larger, insurers typically recognize the damage as sudden and accidental—conditions covered under the dwelling portion of your policy. We help you review your declarations page, gather weather reports, and submit the proper Xactimate estimate to your carrier. You’re responsible only for your deductible unless you choose optional upgrades, such as enhanced ridge venting or designer shingles.
How long will a full-roof replacement take in McDonald?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft steep-slope roof, tear-off and installation usually take one to two days, weather permitting. Large or complex roofs may need up to three days. We schedule dumpster delivery the evening before, start work at 7–8 a.m., and perform a daily magnetic sweep so you’re never left with debris overnight. Most insurance-funded jobs are completed within three weeks of claim approval, including permit issuance and material ordering.
Which roofing materials are best for storm resistance in Western Pennsylvania?
Impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles (Class 3 or Class 4), standing-seam steel panels, and synthetic slate are the top performers. Architectural shingles offer an affordable upgrade with wind ratings up to 130 mph. Metal roofs shed snow quickly and withstand hail without losing protective granules. Synthetic slate provides Class A fire protection and a 50-year warranty while weighing less than real slate, so most McDonald homes need no structural reinforcement. During your consultation we compare costs, warranties, energy benefits, and local aesthetic guidelines.
