FAQs
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my roof after a severe weather event in Sweetwater?
After hail, high winds, or heavy rain, start with a ground-level inspection. Look for missing or curled shingles, shiny or bruised spots on asphalt shingles, dented metal flashing, displaced ridge caps, and granule buildup at downspout exits. Inside the attic, check for damp insulation, water stains on rafters, and daylight showing through the decking. If you notice any of these indicators—or if a neighboring property has obvious damage—schedule a professional inspection promptly, even if your roof looks intact from the street.
How soon should I call a storm-damage specialist after hail or wind damage?
Call as soon as it is safe to do so. Quick action limits additional water intrusion and preserves evidence for an insurance claim. Most policies require you to take “reasonable steps” to mitigate further damage, which can include tarping or temporary repairs. In Sweetwater, our crews are on 24/7 standby during severe-weather season and can usually perform an emergency inspection within 24 hours of your call.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
In many cases, yes. Hail, wind, and falling debris are typically listed as covered perils in Texas homeowner policies, but coverage details vary by insurer and policy type. We assist you throughout the claims process—documenting damage, meeting with the adjuster, and providing a detailed scope of work. You are responsible for your policy deductible; otherwise, the cost of approved repairs or replacement is paid directly by the carrier. If a claim is denied or underfunded, we can provide supplemental documentation or advise on appeal options.
What is the process Sweetwater Storm-Damage Specialists follow for roof inspection and restoration?
1) Complimentary roof & attic inspection using drones, thermal imaging, and on-roof assessment. 2) Photo-documented damage report with repair estimate, formatted to Xactimate standards for insurance compatibility. 3) Assistance filing the claim and meeting with the adjuster. 4) Emergency tarping or temporary dry-in, if required. 5) Material selection and production scheduling once the claim is approved. 6) Full roof restoration using manufacturer-certified crews, typically completed in one day for average-sized homes. 7) Final jobsite cleanup, magnet sweep for nails, and final walkthrough with the homeowner. 8) Warranty registration and post-storm maintenance plan.
How long does a typical storm-damage roof restoration take in Sweetwater?
The on-site work for a single-family asphalt shingle roof generally takes 1–2 days, including tear-off, decking repairs, and installation. Tile, metal, or steep-slope roofs can take 3–5 days. The timeline from inspection to finished roof varies based on insurance approval (usually 1–3 weeks), availability of materials, and current weather. We prioritize weather-tightness at every stage and keep you informed with real-time scheduling updates.
