FAQs
What types of storm damage do you repair for roofs in the Smoky Mountain area?
Our team is trained to handle every form of storm-related roof damage common in Pigeon Forge, including wind-torn shingles, hail impact bruising, fallen tree punctures, and water intrusion caused by heavy mountain rains. We inspect for hidden issues such as compromised underlayment, flashing displacement, and loosened fasteners, then create a customized repair plan to restore the roof’s structural integrity and weatherproofing.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof damage in Pigeon Forge?
Because storm damage can worsen by the hour, we offer 24/7 emergency response and can usually have a crew onsite within 1–3 hours of your call. Our first priority is to perform temporary mitigation—tarping exposed sections, removing debris, and sealing leaks—so your home remains protected while we schedule permanent repairs or replacement.
Do you assist with insurance claims for storm-related roof repairs?
Yes. We provide full documentation, including detailed inspection reports, photographs, and repair estimates that meet insurer guidelines. Our project managers can meet with your adjuster on-site, explain the scope of damage, and advocate for the coverage you’re entitled to, helping shorten claim processing times and reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
What roofing materials do you recommend for withstanding Smoky Mountain weather?
For the high winds, temperature swings, and occasional hail we experience, we typically recommend Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles, standing-seam metal panels, or synthetic slate. Each offers superior wind uplift resistance (up to 130 mph), enhanced hail durability, and long life spans. We also upgrade underlayment to an ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys to combat wind-driven rain and melting winter snow.
How do I know if my roof needs a full replacement or just repairs after a storm?
Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive assessment, examining shingle condition, decking moisture levels, attic ventilation, and the percentage of affected surface area. If damage is localized (under 25 % of the roof) and the membrane beneath is intact, targeted repairs typically suffice. Widespread shingle loss, multiple leaks, or structural decking rot usually indicate that a full replacement will be more cost-effective and provide better long-term protection.
Are your storm roofing services backed by any warranties?
Absolutely. All replacement roofs come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Storm repairs are covered by a 2-year labor warranty, and any manufacturer warranties on replacement shingles, metal panels, or accessories remain in force. We also schedule a complimentary post-storm inspection during the first year to ensure everything is performing as expected.
