FAQs
How can I tell if my Ooltewah home has missing shingles or other storm-related roof damage?
Look for visible gaps or patches where shingles should be, granules collecting in your gutters, sections of roofing that appear lifted or curled, water stains on interior ceilings, or daylight showing through the attic boards. After any severe wind or hail event in Ooltewah, schedule a professional roof inspection—our team offers free, no-obligation assessments that pinpoint hidden damage before it grows into costly leaks.
Why is it crucial to replace missing shingles right away?
When shingles blow off, the exposed underlayment and decking have no protection from rain, UV rays, and debris. Even a small unprotected area can lead to rapid wood rot, interior water intrusion, mold growth, and reduced energy efficiency. Timely replacement maintains your roof’s watertight seal, preserves manufacturer warranties, and prevents minor storm damage from escalating into a full roof replacement.
What storm-damage restoration services do you provide specifically in Ooltewah?
We deliver end-to-end solutions: emergency tarping to stop active leaks, detailed damage inspections with photos for insurance claims, shingle replacement that matches your existing color and style, flashing and vent repairs, structural decking restoration, and complete re-roofing when damage is widespread. All work complies with Tennessee building codes, and we source high-quality asphalt shingles engineered for the Southeast’s wind and weather patterns.
Will my homeowner’s insurance policy cover the cost of fixing missing shingles?
In most cases, wind and hail losses are covered under a standard HO-3 policy, minus your deductible. Coverage depends on the storm date, your policy’s roof age stipulations, and whether the insurer classifies the damage as sudden and accidental. Our restoration specialists document the damage, meet with the adjuster, and help you navigate paperwork so you receive the maximum entitled compensation.
How fast can you respond to emergency roof repairs in Ooltewah?
We have crews on call 24/7 during storm season. For most addresses in Ooltewah and surrounding Hamilton County, we arrive within 2–4 hours of your call. Temporary tarping or shrink-wrap is installed the same day to prevent further water entry, and permanent shingle replacement is typically completed within 1–3 business days, subject to material availability and weather conditions.
