FAQs
How do I know if my roof in Speedwell has storm damage that qualifies for an insurance claim?
Signs of qualifying storm damage include missing or lifted shingles, bruised or cracked shingles from hail, granule loss showing dark spots, dented flashing, damaged gutters, and interior leaks or ceiling stains. Because some issues are hard to see from the ground, we offer a free, no-obligation inspection using photos, video, and moisture readings to document anything an adjuster needs to see. If the damage meets your policy’s threshold—typically caused by wind, hail, or falling debris—we’ll advise you to file a claim and supply all evidence to support it.
What steps are involved in filing an insurance claim for roof storm damage?
1) Schedule a free inspection with our Speedwell team. 2) If damage is confirmed, call your insurer’s claims line to open a claim and receive a claim number. 3) We meet the adjuster on-site to point out storm-related damage and provide our inspection report, photos, and repair estimate. 4) The adjuster prepares a scope of loss; we review it to be sure all items are included. 5) Once the claim is approved, you receive an initial check (ACV). 6) We complete the roof repair or replacement to code, then submit final documentation so the insurer releases the depreciation and any supplements. Throughout, we handle the paperwork and communication so you don’t have to.
How long does the roofing insurance claim and restoration process usually take in Speedwell?
Timelines vary by insurer, but most claims in Speedwell are resolved in 2–4 weeks. The inspection and claim filing take 1–3 days. Adjuster meetings are usually scheduled within 7–10 days. Once approved, material ordering and installation take another 3–7 days, depending on weather and roof size. After we submit completion photos and invoices, insurers typically release the final payment within 5–10 business days. We keep you updated at each milestone so there are no surprises.
Will I have to pay anything out of pocket for my storm-damaged roof replacement or repair?
In most cases, your only out-of-pocket expense is your policy’s deductible. The insurance company covers the remaining repair or replacement cost, including code upgrades that are required by local Speedwell or Claiborne County building codes, if your policy has Ordinance & Law coverage. We verify coverage details up front, apply any manufacturer or workmanship discounts we can, and offer financing options for deductibles if needed, so you never face unexpected bills.
Can you work directly with my insurance adjuster, and what documentation will you provide?
Yes. As licensed contractors experienced in storm restoration, we meet the adjuster on site, explain the damage, and negotiate any missing line items. We provide a detailed Xactimate estimate, high-resolution photos, drone imagery (when allowed), code documentation, material lists, and a completion certificate. This thorough package speeds approval, minimizes back-and-forth, and ensures you receive everything you’re entitled to under your policy.
What types of storm damage are typically covered by homeowners insurance policies in Tennessee, and how do you ensure a hassle-free experience?
Most Tennessee homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, lightning, and falling objects such as trees. Water intrusion that results directly from those perils is also covered. Our job is to make the process hassle-free by: (1) confirming the damage is storm-related, (2) documenting it to carrier standards, (3) handling all calls, emails, and estimates with the adjuster, (4) performing code-compliant repairs with certified crews, and (5) closing the claim with final paperwork so you can focus on daily life while we restore your Speedwell home to pre-storm condition—or better.
