FAQs
How quickly can your certified roofing team respond to storm damage in Sewanee?
In most cases we can be on-site within 24 hours of your call, and often the same day if the storm has just passed. Our emergency response crews live and work in the Sewanee area, so they’re already nearby with fully stocked trucks. Immediate temporary mitigation—such as tarping, board-ups, and water extraction—is provided to prevent further interior or structural damage while a full repair plan is prepared.
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof?
After severe weather, safely inspect from the ground or use binoculars and look for missing or curled shingles, dark spots where granules have been knocked off, bent or displaced metal flashing, dented gutters or vents, and debris piles in valleys. Inside the home, watch for new water stains on ceilings, damp attic insulation, or musty odors. If you notice any of these indicators—or simply aren’t sure—schedule a free inspection. Our certified technicians use drones, moisture meters, and infrared imaging to find hidden issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye.
Are you licensed and insured to perform storm damage roof repairs in Tennessee?
Yes. We hold an active Tennessee General Contractor license with a specialty in roofing and carry $2 million in general liability coverage, workers’ compensation, and auto insurance. All team members have completed OSHA safety training, and our lead installers are certified by major manufacturers such as GAF and CertainTeed. Copies of licenses, insurance certificates, and safety credentials are provided with every estimate for your peace of mind.
Will you help with my insurance claim for storm-related roof damage?
Absolutely. We work with all major carriers serving Sewanee and Franklin County. Our process includes a detailed photo-documented inspection, a written scope of loss formatted to insurance standards (Xactimate), and direct communication with your adjuster to ensure all storm-related damages are properly documented and covered. While we cannot negotiate on your behalf, our expertise streamlines the claim, reduces delays, and helps maximize entitled benefits. We can also meet the adjuster on-site at no extra cost.
Can you match new materials to my existing roof after storm repairs?
In most cases, yes. We stock or can quickly source asphalt shingles, metal panels, and specialty materials that match the color and profile of common roofs in Sewanee. If an exact match is no longer manufactured, we provide side-by-side samples and discuss options such as a partial or full section replacement to ensure a uniform appearance. Our strong relationships with regional suppliers give us access to extended color lines that may not be available at retail suppliers.
What warranties do you offer on storm damage restoration work?
All storm repair and replacement projects come with two layers of protection: (1) a workmanship warranty of up to 10 years covering installation errors, and (2) the manufacturer’s material warranty, which ranges from 25 years to lifetime depending on the product selected. Because we are factory-certified installers, we can register enhanced warranties that are transferable and include non-prorated coverage for labor and materials. Warranty documents are provided at project close-out and registered online for your records.
