FAQs
What is the first thing I should do if a storm damages my roof in Tullahoma?
Put safety first. If you suspect roof damage after hail, high winds, or falling limbs, stay off the roof and call us for a free inspection. We will document the damage with photos and written notes that your insurance carrier will require. Prompt documentation protects your claim and helps prevent small leaks from turning into costly interior damage.
How does the insurance claims process for roof repairs work?
1) Inspection – We inspect and photograph damage. 2) Claim Filing – You call your insurer’s claims center; we can be present on-site if needed. 3) Adjuster Meeting – Your carrier assigns an adjuster; we meet them on your roof to point out all storm-related damage. 4) Scope & Estimate – The insurance company issues a loss summary; we review it to be sure all items are covered. 5) Roof Replacement/Repair – Once you receive the first check and pay your deductible, we schedule the work. 6) Final Documentation – After completion we send invoices and photos to the insurer so the final depreciation payment is released.
Will you work directly with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We routinely meet adjusters throughout Coffee, Franklin, and Bedford counties. Our Haag-certified inspectors know what storm damage looks like and how to communicate it in the language adjusters use (Xactimate line items, code citations, manufacturer specs). Having us on the roof during the adjustment greatly increases the likelihood that all legitimate damage is noted and covered.
What if my insurance company only approves a partial repair or denies my claim?
If the initial scope is incomplete, we can submit a professional supplement with additional photos, code documentation, and an itemized estimate that supports a full replacement. Many partial approvals are upgraded once the carrier sees objective evidence. If your claim is denied outright, you still have options: a re-inspection request, an engineer review, or the carrier’s appraisal process. We guide you through each step at no extra cost.
How fast can you provide emergency protection for my roof?
We offer 24/7 emergency tarping in Tullahoma and surrounding communities. Our crews can usually be on-site within a few hours of your call, even after business hours and on weekends. Insurance carriers generally reimburse reasonable emergency expenses, so keep your receipt; it prevents additional water damage while your claim is being processed.
Are you familiar with Tullahoma building codes and manufacturer requirements?
Absolutely. Tullahoma follows the 2018 International Residential Code with local amendments. We ensure every repair or replacement meets current nailing patterns, drip-edge, ventilation, and ice-barrier standards. We also install your shingles or metal roof exactly to the manufacturer’s specs, which keeps the warranty intact and prevents pushback from the insurance carrier on code compliance issues.
