FAQs
What does a no-obligation roof inspection in Whitwell include?
Our technician will arrive at the scheduled time, photograph and document every part of your roofing system (shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, decking and attic where accessible), and look for wind lift, hail bruising, missing shingles, moisture intrusion and structural issues. We also check nearby siding, fascia and ventilation components affected by storms. Afterward you receive a written report with photos and recommendations—whether that is simple maintenance, a repair estimate, or confirmation that no work is needed.
Why is a storm-damage inspection important after severe weather in Whitwell?
Whitwell sits in a valley that often funnels strong winds and sudden hail bursts. Damage is not always visible from the ground; bruised shingles or loosened fasteners can lead to leaks months later and may void your manufacturer’s warranty. A professional inspection documents the condition of your roof while the storm date is still fresh, which is critical evidence if you file an insurance claim. Catching and fixing issues early protects your home’s structure, insulation, and interior finishes from costly water damage.
How soon should I schedule an inspection after a hail or wind storm?
Call as soon as it is safe to do so—ideally within 24–72 hours of the storm. Insurance carriers usually impose time limits for filing a claim (often 6–12 months), but the sooner damages are documented, the easier it is to prove they were caused by the recent weather event. Quick action also prevents minor punctures or lifted shingles from turning into large leaks during the next rain.
Will the inspection cost me anything or obligate me to hire your company?
No. The inspection is completely free and there is zero obligation. You will receive our findings in writing and may choose to obtain additional bids, delay repairs, or proceed with us—it is entirely up to you. We rely on our reputation and transparent advice to earn your business, not pressure tactics.
What happens if storm damage is found during the inspection?
We will explain the severity of each issue, show you the photos, and outline repair or replacement options along with estimated timelines and costs. If the damage qualifies for an insurance claim, we can provide a detailed scope of work formatted for your insurer. You decide how to move forward; we can temporarily tarp exposed areas at no charge to prevent further water intrusion while you make your decision.
Can you help me with the insurance claims process for storm damage?
Yes. Our team is experienced with Tennessee insurance requirements and can meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is fully documented. We supply itemized estimates in Xactimate or other carrier-approved software, help you understand deductibles and depreciation, and manage any code-related supplements (Whitwell follows 2018 IRC/IBC standards). This service is complementary and designed to make the claims process smooth and transparent for homeowners.
