FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Seymour?
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. Look for missing or curled shingles, dented metal flashing, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on ceilings, or pieces of roofing in your yard. After hail or high winds, it’s wise to schedule a professional inspection even if you don’t see visible issues; our technicians use drones, moisture meters, and close-up assessments to uncover hidden damage before it causes leaks or structural problems.
What should I do immediately after discovering storm damage to my roof?
First, ensure everyone’s safety and avoid walking on the damaged roof. Take clear photos or videos of any visible damage from the ground for insurance documentation. If water is entering your home, place buckets or tarps inside to protect belongings. Then call our 24/7 emergency line; we can usually arrive within a few hours in Seymour to install temporary tarping or board-ups that prevent further water intrusion until permanent repairs are completed.
Is storm-related roof repair or replacement covered by my homeowner’s insurance?
Most standard homeowner policies in Indiana cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or fallen trees. Coverage varies by provider and deductible, so review your policy or call your agent. We provide free, detailed inspection reports and photo evidence to support your claim, and we’ll meet with the adjuster on-site to verify all damage is included. This collaboration typically results in little to no out-of-pocket cost beyond your deductible for qualifying losses.
How quickly can your storm-damage specialists respond to an emergency in Seymour?
Our local crew is on call 24/7 and can typically reach any property in Seymour or surrounding Jackson County within 1–3 hours of your call. We keep tarping materials, plywood, and drying equipment stocked in our service vehicles so we can stabilize the roof and interior immediately, preventing additional water damage while we prepare a full restoration plan.
What is the process for restoring a storm-damaged roof?
1) Free Inspection: We document all wind, hail, and impact damage using photos, drone imagery, and written notes. 2) Temporary Protection: Emergency tarps or shrink-wrap keep the structure dry. 3) Claim Assistance: We create a detailed estimate in industry-standard Xactimate software and meet with your insurer’s adjuster. 4) Material Selection: You choose shingle style, color, and any upgrades like impact-resistant shingles. 5) Roof Replacement/Repair: Our certified installers remove damaged materials, inspect decking, and install the new roofing system to manufacturer specs. 6) Final Quality Check & Cleanup: We magnet-sweep for nails, inspect workmanship, and provide warranty paperwork. 7) Follow-Up: We return after the first heavy rain to ensure everything is watertight.
Will you work directly with my insurance company during the storm-damage claim?
Yes. Navigating claims can be overwhelming, so our project managers handle most of the communication. We submit inspection reports, meet adjusters on-site, review the insurer’s estimate for accuracy, and negotiate supplements when damage is missed. Throughout the process you remain informed, retain control over decisions, and sign off on all work before we begin. This partnership streamlines approvals and helps secure the full settlement you’re entitled to under your policy.
