FAQs
How can I tell if my Riceville home’s roof has sustained storm damage?
Common indicators include missing or curled shingles, displaced flashing, dented vents, granule accumulation in gutters, interior water stains, and daylight showing through the attic. After any severe wind or hail event, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection. As a licensed contractor, we offer free, no-obligation roof assessments using drones and on-roof evaluations so hidden damage is documented before it worsens.
Are you fully licensed and insured to perform roofing and storm damage restoration in Riceville?
Yes. We hold an active Tennessee (or Iowa, depending on your Riceville location) Residential/Commercial Contractor License and carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance that meet or exceed state requirements. Copies of all certificates are provided with every proposal, giving you peace of mind that you’re working with a legitimate, code-compliant firm.
What steps are involved in your storm damage restoration process?
1) Initial inspection and photographic documentation of damage. 2) Emergency tarping or temporary repairs if needed to prevent further water intrusion. 3) Detailed written report and estimate prepared in Xactimate, the same software used by most insurers. 4) Direct communication with your adjuster to reconcile scope and pricing. 5) Scheduling of material delivery and a project start date convenient for you. 6) Tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing, and shingle/metal installation performed to manufacturer specs. 7) Final walkthrough, magnetic nail sweep, debris haul-off, and issuance of warranty paperwork.
How long will a storm-related roof repair or full replacement take?
Minor shingle repairs or flashing replacements are usually completed in a single day. A full replacement on an average 2,000-square-foot Riceville home typically takes 1–2 days, weather permitting. Complex roofs, specialty materials, or extensive decking repairs can extend the timeline to 3–4 days. We provide a precise schedule upfront and stay in constant communication if weather causes delays.
Can you help me file and negotiate my insurance claim?
Absolutely. We guide homeowners through every step—calling in the claim, meeting the adjuster, providing photo evidence, and ensuring all storm-related items (roof, gutters, vents, flashing, skylights, interior damage) are included. While we cannot act as a public adjuster, our documentation and real-time discussions with your insurer help speed approvals and minimize out-of-pocket expenses to just your deductible.
What roofing materials do you offer and what warranties back them?
We install premium architectural asphalt shingles, impact-rated Class 4 shingles, standing-seam metal, and energy-efficient synthetic shake or slate. Manufacturer warranties range from 25-year limited to lifetime, and we include a 5-year workmanship guarantee on every restoration project. Impact-rated systems may also qualify you for reduced homeowners insurance premiums—ask us for details.
