FAQs
How soon after a storm should I have my roof inspected in Strawberry Plains?
As a rule of thumb, schedule a professional inspection within 24–72 hours after the weather clears. Hail, wind, and heavy rain can worsen existing weaknesses quickly, and early documentation is crucial if you plan to file an insurance claim. Our local crew can usually arrive the same or next day, even if power or internet service is disrupted in parts of Strawberry Plains.
What are the most common signs of storm damage that I can see from the ground?
Look for displaced or missing shingles, dark spots where granules have been knocked off, bent or detached metal flashing, dented gutters or downspouts, and debris piles in valleys. Inside the home, water stains on ceilings, damp attic insulation, or musty odors can indicate roof leaks. If you spot any of these issues—or if a neighbor’s roof shows damage—schedule a professional assessment right away.
Does my homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most standard HO-3 policies written in Tennessee cover “sudden and accidental” damage from wind, hail, and fallen trees, subject to your deductible and policy limits. Cosmetic-only damage (for example, minor shingle granule loss) may be excluded, and older roofs can be depreciated. We perform a free, photo-documented inspection, prepare a damage report that aligns with insurance carrier guidelines, and meet your adjuster on-site to advocate for full, code-compliant repairs.
How long does it take to complete a storm restoration roof project?
For an average 2,000-square-foot single-family house in Strawberry Plains, tear-off and reroofing typically take one to two days once materials are delivered. Complex roofs or special-order impact-resistant shingles may add an extra day. Administrative steps—inspection, insurance approval, permit acquisition, and materials ordering—generally take 1–3 weeks, but our office expedites paperwork through the Jefferson and Knox County building departments to keep your timeline tight.
Can you provide emergency services if my roof is actively leaking?
Yes. We maintain 24/7 on-call crews during peak storm season. We can tarp damaged areas, remove fallen limbs, install temporary patches, and set up interior moisture barriers the same day you call. These emergency measures stabilize the structure, limit water intrusion, and protect your insurance coverage by demonstrating that you took reasonable steps to mitigate further damage.
Why choose a local Strawberry Plains storm-restoration crew instead of a national chain?
Local contractors understand East Tennessee weather patterns, regional building codes (IRC 2018 with local amendments), and the material preferences that perform best in our humid subtropical climate. Our crews live here, so you get fast response times, no travel-cost markups, and long-term workmanship warranties backed by a company that will still be here when the next storm rolls through. We also have relationships with Strawberry Plains suppliers, allowing us to secure shingles and accessories quickly even when regional demand spikes after a severe event.
