Insurance Claims

How do insurance claims work for roof damage?

We handle the entire insurance claims process for you. First, we perform a free inspection to document all damage. Then we help you file the claim and meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is properly documented. We work directly with your insurance company so you don't have to deal with the back-and-forth. Most homeowners pay only their deductible.

Storm Damage Services
Will you meet with my insurance adjuster?

Absolutely. We meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to walk the roof together and ensure every bit of damage is documented. This is one of the most important steps in the claims process, and our experience with adjusters helps ensure you receive the full amount you're entitled to.

Timeline

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. We aim to minimize disruption to your daily life. Our crews arrive early, work efficiently, and perform thorough cleanup before leaving. Larger or more complex projects may take 2-3 days.

Materials

What roofing materials do you use?

We primarily install IKO Dynasty and Cambridge architectural shingles, which offer superior wind resistance, impact resistance, and curb appeal. We also install GAF Timberline products and offer TPO and other flat roof systems for commercial projects. All materials come with manufacturer warranties in addition to our 5-year workmanship warranty.

What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?

Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, more durable, and have a more attractive multi-dimensional appearance compared to flat 3-tab shingles. They typically last 30-50 years vs. 15-25 years for 3-tab. Architectural shingles also offer better wind resistance (up to 130 mph) and improved impact resistance. We recommend architectural shingles for all new installations.

Warranties

What does your warranty cover?

We provide a comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty covering all labor, installation defects, and material handling. This is in addition to the manufacturer warranty on the shingles themselves (typically 30-50 years depending on the product). Our warranty means if anything goes wrong with the installation, we fix it at no cost to you.

Storm Damage

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Common signs of storm damage include: missing, cracked, or curled shingles; dents or bruising on shingles (hail damage); granule loss (dark spots or bare patches); damaged flashing around chimneys and vents; dented gutters or downspouts; and water stains on interior ceilings. If you suspect damage, schedule a free inspection right away before the damage gets worse.

Inspections

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes! We offer completely free, no-obligation roof inspections. One of our trained professionals will thoroughly inspect your roof, document any damage or issues, and provide you with a detailed report. There is absolutely no pressure to commit to any work. We believe in honest assessments.

Schedule Free Inspection
How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, preferably in the spring or fall. You should also get an inspection after any major storm event (hail, high winds, tornadoes). Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs and can extend the life of your roof significantly.

Maintenance

What are the signs I need a new roof?

Key signs include: your roof is 20+ years old; shingles are curling, cracking, or missing; you see granules in your gutters; there are dark streaks or algae growth; you notice sagging or drooping areas; daylight is visible through the attic; you have recurring leaks; or your energy bills have increased significantly. If you notice any of these, schedule a free inspection.

How can I maintain my roof to make it last longer?

Regular maintenance extends roof life significantly: have annual professional inspections, keep gutters clean and flowing, trim overhanging tree branches, remove moss or algae promptly, ensure proper attic ventilation, fix small issues immediately before they spread, and check your attic for signs of moisture after storms. Our maintenance program can handle all of this for you.
