FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a storm in Strawberry Plains?
Strawberry Plains sits in a corridor that regularly sees hail, high winds, and heavy rain. Even when damage isn’t visible from the ground, lifted shingles, broken seals, or hidden punctures can allow water to infiltrate the decking and attic. A certified inspector knows where these problems usually hide and can document them before they turn into expensive leaks, mold growth, or structural rot. A timely inspection also creates the photographic evidence your insurance adjuster will need to process any storm-related claim.
What does your free roof inspection include?
Our technician begins with a ground-level assessment, then safely accesses the roof to examine shingles, flashing, vents, valleys, gutters, and chimney caps. We look for missing or creased shingles, hail bruising, granule loss, popped nails, soft spots in the decking, and signs of interior moisture. You’ll receive a written report with photos, an explanation of any damage, an estimate for repairs or full replacement if needed, and guidance on the next steps with your insurance carrier—all at no cost or obligation.
How quickly can you respond to a storm damage call in Strawberry Plains?
During storm season we maintain an on-call crew dedicated to emergency inspections. In most cases we can be on-site within 24 hours of your call—often the same day if you contact us before noon. Rapid response lets us tarp exposed areas right away, preventing further water intrusion while you decide on permanent repairs.
Will filing an insurance claim for roof storm damage raise my premiums?
In Tennessee, storm and “act of God” claims are generally considered no-fault losses. Most insurers do not surcharge individual policies for weather-related roof claims because the event affected a large geographic area, not just your home. While overall regional rates can rise after a major storm, your specific claim rarely triggers a premium increase. We document the damage thoroughly so your claim is clear, accurate, and less likely to be disputed.
Can minor wind or hail damage really shorten the life of my roof?
Yes. A single lifted shingle can break the sealant strip, allowing wind to catch the tab and tear it off in the next storm. Hail impact that knocks granules loose exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, accelerating deterioration. Small punctures or micro-cracks may not leak immediately, but repeated wet/dry cycles enlarge them over time, leading to rotten decking and insulation. Addressing even “minor” damage early preserves the manufacturer’s warranty and prevents costlier repairs later.
Do I have to be present during the inspection, and how long will it take?
You don’t have to be home, but we do recommend it so we can walk you through our findings in real time. If you can’t be there, we’ll text you arrival and departure notifications and email the full photo report afterward. A typical single-family roof in Strawberry Plains takes 30–45 minutes to inspect, with another 15 minutes to review our digital report and answer your questions.
