FAQs
How quickly can your certified roofing team respond to storm damage in Rutledge?
Because storms rarely wait for business hours, our emergency response crews are on call 24/7. In most cases we can arrive anywhere in Rutledge within 1–2 hours of your call to perform a temporary tarp-over, stop active leaks, and start documenting damage for your insurance carrier. Fast action prevents secondary issues such as mold, soaked insulation, or structural rot.
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
After high winds, hail, or heavy rain, look for: • Missing, cracked, or curled shingles • Bald spots where protective granules have washed away • Dented metal flashing, gutters, or vents (a common hail indicator) • Dark or wet spots on interior ceilings or attic decking • Debris piles in gutters or the yard If you notice any of these red flags—or if you simply want peace of mind—schedule a free inspection. Our Haag-certified inspectors use drones and moisture meters to uncover hidden issues that an untrained eye can miss.
Are you licensed, insured, and certified to handle storm damage restoration in Tennessee?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee contractor’s license, carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintain full workers’ compensation insurance for every crew member. Our lead technicians are Haag Certified Residential Roof Inspectors, and we are Owens Corning Preferred Contractors. Those credentials mean your project meets state code, manufacturer specifications, and insurance requirements —protecting both your home and your warranty.
Will you help me navigate the insurance claim process?
Absolutely. From the moment we document the damage, we prepare the same photo reports and Xactimate estimates that adjusters use. We’ll meet your adjuster on-site, advocate for all storm-related repairs, and clarify policy language so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered. More than 80 % of our storm restoration projects in Rutledge are handled through insurance, and our assistance comes at no extra cost to you.
How long does a typical storm-related roof repair or replacement take?
Timeline varies with material availability and weather, but most minor repairs are completed the same day the claim is approved. Full roof replacements on an average 2,000 sq ft Rutledge home take 1–2 days once materials are delivered. If decking or structural elements are compromised, add an extra day for carpentry. We always provide a detailed schedule up front and keep you informed of any changes.
What roofing materials do you recommend for better storm resistance in Rutledge’s climate?
For asphalt roofs, we recommend Class 4 impact-rated shingles such as Owens Corning Duration Storm; they withstand hail up to 2 inches and can lower your insurance premium. If you prefer metal, a 24-gauge standing-seam system with concealed fasteners offers excellent wind uplift resistance (up to 140 mph) and sheds rain quickly. We also install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in all valleys, which creates an extra moisture barrier against the heavy downpours common in East Tennessee.
