FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Petros?
We recommend arranging a professional inspection within 24–72 hours of a major weather event. Acting quickly helps document fresh damage for insurance purposes, prevents minor issues from worsening, and ensures that hidden leaks don’t lead to interior problems.
What signs of storm damage can I look for from the ground?
From a safe distance, check for missing or curled shingles, torn or loose flashing, dented gutters, granules collecting near downspouts, and visible debris on the roof. Indoors, watch for new water stains on ceilings or walls. If you notice any of these indicators, schedule a professional inspection right away.
Is a professional roof inspection really necessary if I don’t see obvious damage?
Yes. Hail impacts, wind uplift, and micro-cracks in shingles are often invisible from the ground but can compromise your roof’s watertight seal. Our certified inspectors in Petros use drones, moisture meters, and close-up examinations to uncover hidden damage and provide a comprehensive report.
Will you help with my insurance claim for storm damage?
Absolutely. We document all findings with photos, video, and written assessments that meet insurance carrier requirements. Our team will guide you through the claim process, meet with the adjuster on-site if needed, and supply any supplemental documentation to help ensure you receive fair coverage.
How much does a storm damage roof inspection cost in Petros?
For homeowners within our Petros service area, we provide storm damage inspections at no charge. If your roof is free of damage, you gain peace of mind for $0. If issues are found, we’ll give you a transparent estimate and review possible repair or replacement options.
What happens if storm damage isn’t repaired promptly?
Delayed repairs can lead to water infiltration, mold growth, structural wood rot, and higher energy bills due to compromised insulation. Additionally, insurance companies may deny or limit coverage if repairs are postponed. Addressing damage quickly protects your home’s integrity and saves you money long-term.
