FAQs
What immediate steps should I take after a sudden storm damages my roof in Signal Mountain?
First, make sure everyone is safe and stay clear of any downed power lines or loose debris. Next, take clear photos or short videos of the damage from the ground—do not climb onto a wet or unstable roof. Call our 24/7 emergency line so we can dispatch a technician to install temporary tarps and prevent further water intrusion. Finally, contact your insurance carrier to open a claim and keep all receipts for storm-related expenses.
How quickly can your team respond to emergency roof repairs in the Signal Mountain area?
Because we are locally based on the mountain, our crews can usually arrive within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night. During widespread storm events we triage requests, prioritizing homes with active leaks, exposed decking, or safety hazards. Temporary tarping is done first, followed by a full damage assessment and permanent repairs once weather conditions allow.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof damage repairs?
In most cases, yes. Wind, hail, and fallen-tree impacts are typically covered under the dwelling portion of standard homeowner policies. After our inspection we provide a detailed, photo-documented report and an itemized estimate formatted to meet insurance guidelines (Xactimate). We can meet your adjuster on-site, explain hidden damage such as lifted shingles or bruised decking, and help you navigate deductible, actual cash value (ACV), or replacement cost (RCV) questions.
How do you determine the full extent of storm damage on my roof?
Our technicians perform a 12-point storm inspection that includes: shingle mat fracturing or loss of granules, lifted or missing tabs, dented flashing, compromised ridge vents, gutter and fascia impact, decking moisture readings, attic leaks, insulation staining, and interior ceiling damage. We use drones for steep slopes and an infrared camera to detect trapped moisture. A written report with photos and repair recommendations is provided the same day.
What is the typical cost and timeline for storm damage roof repairs in Signal Mountain?
For minor shingle replacement or flashing resets, costs often range from $350–$1,000 and can be completed in a single visit. Moderate repairs that involve decking patches or partial re-shingling average $1,200–$3,500 and generally take 1–2 days. Extensive wind or hail damage that requires a full roof replacement typically runs $7,000–$15,000 for a mid-sized Signal Mountain home and is finished within 1–3 days once materials arrive. All timelines assume dry weather and prompt insurance approval.
Can you match my existing shingles and ensure the repair blends in?
Yes. We carry shingle samples from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas that are commonly installed in Hamilton County. If your exact color is discontinued, we locate the closest match or, with your approval, order enough material to re-shingle an entire slope so the repair is invisible from the street. We also replace damaged underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and ventilation components to maintain manufacturer warranties and your home’s curb appeal.
