FAQs
What qualifies as a roofing emergency and how quickly can you respond in Monteagle?
A roofing emergency is any situation where water intrusion or structural damage threatens the safety of your home—such as storm-torn shingles, punctures from fallen limbs, large leaks, or sagging roof decking. Because Monteagle often experiences sudden weather shifts, our on-call crews are available 24/7 and can typically arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call to stabilize the situation and prevent further damage.
What should I do to minimize damage before your emergency repair team arrives?
If it is safe to do so, place buckets or large containers under active leaks and move valuables away from affected areas. Avoid climbing onto the roof—wet or damaged shingles are slippery and unstable. Turn off electricity to rooms where water is pooling in ceilings to reduce fire risk, and take photos or video for insurance documentation. Then call our dedicated emergency line so we can dispatch a crew right away.
Do you provide free roof inspections after severe weather events in Monteagle?
Yes. Following hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall, we offer complimentary post-storm inspections to homeowners in Monteagle. Our technicians perform a detailed exterior and attic assessment, document damages with photos, and provide an itemized report you can submit to your insurance carrier. There is no obligation to purchase repairs—our goal is to give you an accurate picture of your roof’s condition.
Will temporary emergency repairs affect my insurance claim?
No. Insurance policies actually require you to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage. Our temporary tarping, board-ups, or patching are documented with before-and-after photos and invoices that you can submit as part of the claim. These interim measures protect your property and generally strengthen, rather than jeopardize, your coverage position.
How thorough is your roof inspection process and what technologies do you use?
Each inspection follows a 25-point checklist covering shingles, flashings, ventilation, decking, gutters, and attic insulation. We use drones equipped with 4K cameras to safely view hard-to-reach slopes, thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, and moisture meters inside the attic. You’ll receive a digital report within 24 hours, complete with annotated photos, a repair or replacement recommendation, and an estimate if work is needed.
How can I tell if I need a full roof replacement or just targeted repairs after an inspection?
Our inspectors look at the age of the roofing material, extent of damage, underlying deck condition, and cost-effectiveness of repairs versus replacement. If damage is localized—such as a few missing shingles or a small flashing failure—targeted repairs should suffice. However, widespread granule loss, multiple leaks across various roof planes, or decking rot usually indicate replacement is the safer, more economical long-term solution. We’ll explain all findings, show photo evidence, and outline pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
