FAQs
What signs of storm damage should I look for on my Winfield roof?
After a severe storm, look for missing or curled shingles, cracked or dented asphalt shingles, bruised or torn roof vents, damaged flashing around chimneys and skylights, granule buildup in gutters or downspouts, water stains on interior ceilings, and visible sagging. If you notice any of these issues—or if your neighbors’ roofs are damaged—schedule a professional assessment right away.
Why is a professional storm-damage assessment important?
Storm damage isn’t always obvious from ground level. A certified roofing specialist uses trained eyes, safety equipment, and moisture-detecting tools to uncover hidden issues such as loosened fasteners, punctures under lifted shingles, or sub-surface water intrusion. A thorough report documents all problems, helping you file an accurate insurance claim and avoid costly leaks or structural damage later on.
How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection?
Call for an inspection as soon as possible—ideally within 24–72 hours of the event. Prompt action protects your home from further water intrusion, meets most insurance carriers’ deadlines for filing a claim, and preserves evidence before it weathers away. Even if you don’t see obvious damage, high winds and hail can cause problems that only a professional can detect.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners policies in Winfield cover sudden, accidental damage from hail, wind, and fallen debris. Coverage depends on your policy terms, deductible, and the age/condition of your roof. Our team provides detailed inspection reports, photographs, and repair estimates to support your claim, and we can meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is documented correctly.
What happens during your storm-damage assessment process?
1) We start with a free on-site inspection, examining shingles, flashing, gutters, skylights, and attic spaces for moisture. 2) We document findings with photos and video, noting hail impacts, wind uplift, and structural concerns. 3) You receive a comprehensive written report and repair/replacement options. 4) If you file an insurance claim, we assist with paperwork and adjuster meetings. 5) Once approved, we schedule quality repairs or a full reroof backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
How long do storm-related roof repairs or a full replacement take?
Minor repairs such as replacing damaged shingles or sealing flashing usually take one day. A complete roof replacement on an average Winfield home typically takes 1–2 days, weather permitting. Our crews handle tear-off, underlayment, new shingle installation, ventilation upgrades, and site cleanup efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life.
