As a homeowner, that roof on top of your home ranks as one of the most critical parts of your home. It is your shield against the elements, safeguarding you and your family and playing a pivotal role in your home’s structural integrity. Unfortunately, roofs bear the brunt of storm damage more than any other part of your house. Powerful winds, hailstorms, and torrential downpours can all damage your roof. Left unattended, this damage can escalate into even bigger issues.
Ift you suspect storm damage to your roof, you need to take swift action. Delaying your response only increases the likelihood of the damage getting even worse — and the repairs more expensive! So, let’s talk about storm damage to roofing.
Identifying Storm Damage to Your Roof
Your first course of action after a storm blows through — which happens frequently here in Arkansas! — is to assess your roof to determine whether or not you have any damage. Here are some common signs to look for:
- Missing or broken shingles
- Dents or depressions
- Cracks or tears
- Leaks or water spots on ceilings or walls
- Damage to gutters or downspouts
If you see any of these signs, you should have your roof inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
Complimentary Storm Damage Inspections
At Griffin’s, we provide complimentary storm damage inspections. During this inspection, a roofing specialist will evaluate your roof’s condition, looking for any signs of damage. If we find any damage, we will provide you with a detailed estimate of the work and materials required to either repair or replace your room. But, we don’t stop there.
Insurance Approval for Roof Repairs or Replacement
If your roof is damaged during a storm, your homeowner’s insurance policy will probably cover the cost of necessary repairs or replacement. In order to have the work approved, you will need to file a claim with your insurance provider. Griffin’s is ready to guide you through this process and provide you with the documentation and estimates needed to expedite the approval of your claim.
We are still getting approvals for claims from last year’s storms!
Complete Roof Replacement
In most cases, the storm damage is severe enough to make total replacement of your roof the best option. Needless to say, tearing off the old roof and replacing it with a new one can be costly, but in many cases, the insurance company will shoulder the expense. Either way, a new roof is an investment in your home’s safety and security. And, it can improve energy efficiency and increase the overall value of your home.
No one wants to have to replace their roof, but if you find it necessary, it’s important to hire a reputable roofing company for the job. We are proud of the reputation we have earned in the Russellville area. We are committed to providing the best possible service to our customers.
