FAQs
What kinds of storm damage can your specialized roofing equipment address in Reliance?
Our crews handle wind-torn shingles, hail punctures, fallen-tree impact, flashing blow-offs, and water intrusion. Using high-reach articulating lifts, infrared moisture scanners, and mobile debris vacuums, we can safely remove damaged materials, locate hidden leaks, dry saturated decking, and install new storm-rated components—restoring your roof to pre-loss condition or better.
How quickly can you respond after a storm hits Reliance?
We maintain on-call emergency teams in Reliance year-round. Once you contact us, we can typically arrive within 2–4 hours for temporary dry-in and within 24 hours for full assessment. Our rapid-deployment trailers carry tarps, shrink-wrap, portable power, and fastening tools so we can stabilize the structure immediately and prevent further water damage.
What specialized equipment do you use for roof inspections and repairs?
We pair drones equipped with 4K cameras and AI damage-mapping software with handheld thermal imaging to spot cracks and trapped moisture invisible to the eye. For repairs, we use pneumatic tear-off machines, self-propelled dump loaders, and vacuum-assisted shingle lifters that reduce noise and speed up removal. Our portable roll-forming machine can fabricate custom metal panels on site, ensuring precise fits despite supply-chain shortages.
Will you assist me with the insurance claim process?
Yes. Our Xactimate-certified estimators document every square foot with high-resolution imagery and moisture readings that carriers require. We meet the adjuster on site, provide a line-item scope of work, and negotiate for code-required upgrades. Over 90% of our Reliance customers recover full replacement costs minus deductible, and we keep you informed at each step so your claim is processed quickly and accurately.
How do you ensure safety when using heavy equipment during restoration?
All technicians carry OSHA 30 certification and undergo quarterly lift-operation training. We set perimeter barriers, use spotters for crane and lift movements, and anchor fall-arrest systems to engineered tie-off points. Our equipment is inspected daily, and job-site safety meetings are held every morning to address wind speeds, electrical hazards, and public access concerns—protecting both our crew and your property.
Can you install preventive features to reduce future storm damage?
Absolutely. We offer class 4 impact-resistant shingles, metal retrofits with concealed fasteners, reinforced ridge caps, and ice-and-water shield underlayment across all eaves and valleys. For flat roofs, we apply 60-mil fleece-back TPO mechanically secured to withstand up to 120 mph winds. We can also add hail-deflection mats to skylights and upgrade gutters to larger downspouts to improve water evacuation and minimize future risk.
