FAQs
How can I tell if my McDonald home’s roof has suffered wind damage after a storm?
Look for missing or creased shingles, lifted flashing, granule accumulation in gutters, or water stains on ceilings inside the house. Even if you don’t see obvious damage from the ground, winds above 45 mph can loosen roofing materials. A professional inspection is the safest way to confirm the extent of any damage.
What should I do immediately after high winds or a severe storm hits?
First, ensure everyone’s safety and watch for downed power lines. Then, document visible roof and exterior damage with photos or video, cover any exposed areas with a tarp if you can do so safely, and call a reputable local restoration contractor. Quick action helps prevent leaks and secondary damage such as mold or wood rot.
Will my homeowners insurance cover wind-related roofing damage?
Most standard policies in Pennsylvania include wind and hail protection. Coverage typically pays for repair or replacement costs minus your deductible, provided normal wear and tear wasn’t the main cause. We work directly with all major insurers, helping you file the claim, supply documentation, and meet adjusters on-site to maximize your settlement.
How soon can you respond to an emergency in McDonald, and how long will repairs take?
We offer 24/7 emergency response and can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call. Temporary tarping or board-up is done immediately. Permanent repairs depend on material availability and weather, but most wind-damage roof restorations in McDonald are completed within one to five days after insurance approval.
What roofing materials do you recommend for better wind resistance?
For asphalt roofs, we use Class F (110–130 mph) rated shingles with six-nail fastening patterns and reinforced sealant strips. Metal roofing panels with concealed fasteners and standing seams offer even higher wind resistance, often exceeding 140 mph ratings. We also install synthetic underlayment and upgraded ridge vents to improve overall system durability.
Why choose a local McDonald contractor for storm damage restoration?
Local contractors understand Washington County building codes, can pull permits quickly, and know the regional weather patterns that affect your roof. We’re close by for fast service, have relationships with area suppliers for quicker material sourcing, and stand behind our work with transferable warranties and ongoing maintenance options.
