FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after a hail or wind event in Strawberry Plains?
Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, dark spots where granules have been knocked off, dented or perforated metal flashings, and water stains on interior ceilings or attic decking. Because hailstones in our East Tennessee storms can be small yet destructive, we recommend a professional inspection even if damage isn’t obvious from the ground.
What should I do immediately after discovering storm damage?
First, protect people and property by moving valuables away from leaks and placing buckets under drips. Next, call a licensed local roofer to install an emergency tarp and document the damage with photos or video. Notify your homeowner’s insurance carrier, then schedule a full inspection so an itemized repair estimate can be submitted to your adjuster.
Does homeowner’s insurance usually cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement in Strawberry Plains?
Most policies cover wind, hail, and falling-tree damage to the roof, minus your deductible. Coverage may be on an Actual Cash Value (ACV) basis—paying the depreciated value—or Replacement Cost Value (RCV), which pays for a full new roof. Provide your contractor’s inspection report and photos to the adjuster to help secure an accurate claim settlement.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof issues in Strawberry Plains?
Because we’re based only minutes away, our crews are on call 24/7 during storm season. We can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours to install temporary tarps or perform minor repairs that stop active leaks. A comprehensive damage assessment and written estimate are typically completed within 24–48 hours after the weather clears.
Will I need a full roof replacement, or can you just repair the damaged sections?
We always try to save homeowners money with targeted repairs when possible. If damage is confined to a few shingles or one plane of the roof, a repair is sufficient. A full replacement is recommended when more than 25–30 % of shingles are compromised, the roof is over 15 years old, or new building codes (such as the current 130-mph wind rating) make partial repairs impractical.
What roofing materials and warranties do you offer to help resist future storms?
We install impact-rated architectural shingles, Class 4 SBS-modified shingles, standing-seam metal, and advanced synthetic underlayments that shed water and resist high winds. Manufacturer warranties range from 30-year limited to lifetime coverage, and we back every storm-damage repair or replacement with our own 5-year workmanship guarantee—transferable if you sell your Strawberry Plains home.
