FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Newcomb?
First, stay safe—avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Take photos of visible damage from the ground, cover exposed areas inside the home to prevent water intrusion, and call a professional roofing company for an emergency inspection. In Newcomb, we offer 24/7 response and can temporarily tarp or seal openings to stop further damage while we prepare a full repair plan.
How can I tell if my roof has hidden storm damage?
Not all damage is obvious. Look for indirect signs such as water stains on ceilings, granules collecting in gutters, dents on metal flashings, and loose or curled shingles. If you suspect issues, schedule a professional inspection. Our technicians use drones, moisture meters, and attic checks to locate concealed leaks or structural compromise caused by high winds and hail common to the Newcomb area.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage roof repairs?
Most policies cover wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage, but coverage varies. After our free inspection, we document the damage with photos, a written report, and an itemized estimate you can submit to your insurer. We also meet with adjusters onsite to make sure nothing is overlooked, helping Newcomb homeowners maximize legitimate claims and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof repairs in Newcomb?
We maintain on-call crews in Essex County and guarantee arrival within 2–4 hours for storm emergencies in Newcomb. Our first step is to secure the roof with tarps or shrink-wrap, then we schedule permanent repairs—often within 24–48 hours, weather permitting. Fast action limits interior damage and can reduce the overall repair cost.
Do I need a full roof replacement or can storm damage be repaired?
It depends on the extent of damage, roof age, and shingle condition. Localized issues—such as a few missing shingles or small punctures—can usually be patched. If more than 30% of the roof surface is compromised, the decking is saturated, or the roof is nearing the end of its life, replacement is more cost-effective and code-compliant. Our inspectors give you an honest assessment and explain all options.
What makes your storm damage repair service different from other Newcomb roofers?
