FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in South Pittsburg?
Ideally, you should arrange a professional inspection within 24–72 hours of any severe weather event. Quick action helps document fresh damage for insurance claims, prevents minor issues from turning into leaks, and shortens wait times during peak storm-repair season in the Sequatchie Valley.
What storm-damage warning signs can I look for before calling a roofer?
From the ground, check for missing or curled shingles, dinted or bruised shingle surfaces (hail impact), loose flashing around vents or chimneys, and piles of granules in downspouts. Inside, look for new water stains on ceilings or walls and damp insulation in the attic. If you see any of these red flags, schedule an inspection right away.
Why is a professional roof inspection better than a DIY check?
Certified inspectors use trained eyes, moisture meters, and drone or ladder-level imaging to uncover hidden punctures, lifted shingles, and weakened decking that homeowners often miss. A written inspection report also provides the photo evidence and repair scope that insurance adjusters require, speeding up the claims process.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs?
Most policies written in Tennessee cover sudden wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage, but you’ll still have to meet your deductible and file within the policy ’s time limit (usually 6–12 months). Our team documents damage, meets with the adjuster, and helps you navigate any supplemental paperwork to maximize approved coverage.
How long does a roof inspection take, and what does it include?
A typical single-family roof in South Pittsburg takes 45–90 minutes to inspect. We assess shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and fascia; photograph and mark all damage; examine attic ventilation and insulation; check for moisture intrusion; and deliver a detailed digital report with repair or replacement recommendations within 24 hours.
What happens if serious damage is found during the inspection?
If we discover structural issues or active leaks, we can install emergency tarping the same day to stop further water entry. Next, you’ll receive a written estimate, assistance filing an insurance claim, and a clear project timeline. Once approved, we handle all repairs—from shingle replacement to full reroofs—using materials that meet or exceed local South Pittsburg building codes.
