FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has missing shingles after a storm in Reliance?
Start with a ground-level visual inspection. Look for exposed plywood, felt paper, or uneven roof lines where shingles should be. You might also notice granules in your gutters or around downspouts, which indicates shingles have lifted or blown off. Indoors, water stains on ceilings or walls can signal entry points created by missing shingles. For a definitive assessment, schedule a professional roof inspection—climbing onto a storm-damaged roof can be dangerous.
Why is it important to replace missing shingles quickly?
Shingles form the first waterproof barrier of your roofing system. Once even a few are gone, wind-driven rain can penetrate underlayment and decking, causing leaks, mold, ruined insulation, and structural rot. In Reliance’s humid and sometimes harsh weather, moisture intrusion accelerates damage. Acting promptly preserves the integrity of surrounding shingles, prevents costlier repairs, and keeps your manufacturer and insurance warranties valid.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm-related shingle loss?
Most standard policies include wind and hail coverage, so missing shingles caused by a documented storm are typically covered. After severe weather, photograph any visible damage, protect the exposed area with a tarp if you can do so safely, and file a claim as soon as possible. A licensed roofing contractor can provide a detailed inspection report and help communicate repair costs and scope of work to your adjuster, strengthening your claim.
What does your storm damage restoration process involve?
1) Free Inspection: We examine the entire roofing system, gutters, vents, and attic for hidden moisture. 2) Damage Documentation: Photos, measurements, and a written report are prepared for you and your insurer. 3) Temporary Protection: Emergency tarping or board-up prevents further water intrusion. 4) Claim Assistance: We meet with the adjuster, review their findings, and advocate for full and fair coverage. 5) Repairs/Replacement: We match or upgrade shingles, replace damaged underlayment and flashing, and bring the roof up to current Reliance and manufacturer codes. 6) Final Walk-Through & Warranty: You receive material and workmanship warranties plus maintenance tips.
How long does it take to restore missing shingles or replace the roof?
Timelines depend on material availability and weather, but minor shingle replacement jobs usually take 1 day. If extensive storm damage warrants a full reroof, a typical single-family home in Reliance can be completed in 1–3 days once permits and materials are on-site. We coordinate scheduling with your insurance company and keep you informed of any delays caused by rain or high winds.
Can you match new shingles to my existing roof?
Yes. We work with multiple manufacturers that produce shingles in a wide range of colors and profiles, increasing the odds of an exact or near-exact match. During inspection, we identify your current shingle brand, style, and color blend, then order replacement bundles from the same line if still produced. When a perfect match isn’t possible, we place replacement shingles in less visible areas (e.g., behind chimneys) and use color-blending techniques to create a uniform appearance.
