FAQs
How can I tell if my Whitwell roof has been damaged by hail or high winds?
Some warning signs you can spot from the ground include dented gutters or downspouts, granule loss that shows up as bald spots on shingles or piles of granules at the ends of downspouts, cracked or missing shingles, and dark circular bruises on the roof surface. Indoors, look for new water stains on ceilings or musty odors in the attic. Because not all damage is visible from street level, we provide free, no-obligation roof inspections in Whitwell using drones and on-roof assessments to document every impact point.
Why is it important to schedule a roof inspection soon after a hail or windstorm?
Hail damage may compromise the protective granule layer of your shingles, allowing UV rays and moisture to deteriorate the mat beneath. The longer those areas remain exposed, the faster leaks develop and the more extensive—and expensive—the repairs become. Most insurance policies also impose time limits (often 6–12 months) for filing a storm-damage claim. Having a professional inspection soon after the storm gives you accurate documentation to support a timely claim and prevents minor issues from growing into structural problems.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hail or storm damage to my roof?
In Whitwell, the majority of standard homeowner’s policies do cover sudden, accidental losses caused by hail, heavy wind, or falling debris, though deductibles and exclusions vary. We assist you through every step of the claims process: photographing damage, completing the scope-of-loss report, meeting with the adjuster on-site, and making sure all code-required items are included. If the claim is approved, you are usually responsible only for your deductible, with the insurer paying the balance for repair or full replacement.
What does your storm-damage restoration service include?
Our turnkey service starts with a complimentary inspection and written damage report. If emergency action is needed, we install tarps or shrink-wrap to stop water intrusion the same day. Once insurance approval is obtained, we handle tear-off, structural decking repairs, new underlayment, high-quality shingles or metal panels, flashing, ventilation upgrades, and gutter replacement when required. We finish with a final quality check, clean the site with magnetic rollers, and register all manufacturer warranties for you.
How fast can you respond to an emergency roof leak in Whitwell?
We maintain an on-call emergency crew in Marion County and can usually arrive anywhere in the Whitwell area within 2–4 hours of your call—day or night. Our trucks carry heavy-duty tarps, plywood, and temporary roofing materials so we can secure the damaged section immediately, preventing further water entry until permanent repairs are scheduled.
Do you work on all roof types, and can minor hail damage be repaired without a full replacement?
Yes. Our certified crews are trained to restore asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, stone-coated steel, and modified bitumen low-slope sections commonly found on porches and additions. If the hail impacts are isolated and the shingle seal strips are intact, we can often replace individual shingles or small sections. However, when damage is widespread, the granules are dislodged, or manufacturer guidelines call for full replacement, we will recommend a new roof to preserve your home’s long-term integrity and warranty coverage.
