FAQs
How can I tell if my Ooltewah roof has storm damage?
Warning signs include missing or lifted shingles, dented or cracked metal flashing, granule loss that exposes the shingle mat, water stains on ceilings or attic decking, and pieces of roofing material in the yard. After hail or high-wind events, even minor damage can compromise the roof’s water-shedding ability. Because some issues are not visible from the ground, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation inspection from our certified storm-damage specialists. We use drones, moisture meters, and photo documentation to give you a clear, itemized report of any damage.
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Ooltewah?
1. Ensure safety first—stay clear of downed power lines and keep children and pets away from damaged areas. 2. Take date-stamped photos or video of visible damage from the ground for your records. 3. Call our 24/7 emergency line. We can usually arrive within two hours to provide tarping or temporary repairs that prevent further water intrusion. 4. Contact your insurance provider to start a claim; we can meet your adjuster on-site to advocate for the full scope of needed repairs. 5. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, as hidden structural issues can lead to falls or more damage.
How fast can you repair or replace a storm-damaged roof in Ooltewah?
Emergency tarping is typically completed the same day you call. Once the insurance claim is approved, most minor wind or hail repairs are finished within 24–48 hours. Full roof replacements generally take one to two days, depending on roof size and weather. Our local crews and warehouse stock of shingles and metal panels allow us to bypass supply delays and start work as soon as permits are issued. We keep you updated with a digital project timeline and daily progress photos.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for storm damage roof restoration?
In most cases, yes—if the damage is sudden and caused by a covered peril such as wind, hail, or falling debris. We help you review your policy’s deductible, Actual Cash Value vs. Replacement Cost coverage, and any code-upgrade provisions. During the adjuster meeting we provide detailed measurements, photos, and Xactimate estimates to validate the scope of work. More than 90 % of our Ooltewah customers receive full roof replacement approval when damage meets insurer guidelines. You are only responsible for your policy deductible unless you choose optional upgrades.
Do you offer emergency tarping or temporary protection services?
Absolutely. Our storm-response team is on call 24/7. We install reinforced, UV-resistant tarps secured with furring strips and sandbags to shield vulnerable decking, valleys, and ridges from further rain penetration. If structural decking is compromised, we can also install shrink-wrap or rigid board-over solutions. All temporary measures are billed directly to your insurance carrier under the claim, so there is no upfront cost to you.
