Questions
What hail damage signs should I look for after a storm?
Check for missing shingle granules, splits in wood shakes, roof pock marks, dents in metal flashings, and siding holes. These indicate potential hail damage requiring professional assessment.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim for roof damage?
Most insurers allow 12-24 months post-storm, but immediate inspection is recommended. Undetected damage can lead to leaks and more extensive repairs over time.
What roof replacement signs indicate immediate action needed?
Excessive attic heat, sagging roofs, moss growth, and missing/damaged shingles suggest replacement needs. Our inspectors provide detailed assessments to determine repair vs replacement requirements.
Can I choose my own contractor for insurance-covered repairs?
Yes, homeowners can select any qualified contractor. We assist with insurance coordination and provide documentation to ensure full claim coverage for approved damages.
What payment options are available for roofing projects?
We accept cheques, VISA, and MasterCard. Payment schedules include deposit upon contract signing with final payment after project completion and customer satisfaction.
