We have handled storm claims for homeowners since 2010, and we start with a free roof inspection so you know exactly what the storm did before you call your insurer.

Types of storm damage we repair
Middle Tennessee sees hail, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and ice every year. Each does a different kind of damage, and an adjuster will look for each one. We document all of it.
Hail damage
Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles and leaves bruises that crack the mat underneath. The damage often is not visible from the ground, but it shortens the roof’s life and is a common trigger for a covered claim. We document hail strikes per square so the adjuster sees the full scope.
High wind damage
Straight-line winds lift and crease shingles, break the adhesive seal, and tear shingles off entirely. Once the seal is broken a shingle will fail in the next storm even if it is still in place, which is why we inspect the whole field, not just the bare spots.
Tornado damage
Tornadoes and severe storms can strip large sections of roof and drive debris through the deck. We handle emergency tarping immediately and coordinate the full replacement once the structure is assessed.
Fallen tree and debris damage
A fallen limb or tree can puncture the roof and damage the decking and rafters underneath. We tarp the opening, document the impact, and repair the structure and roof surface so the home is watertight and sound.
Ice and winter storm damage
Ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles back water up under shingles and crack flashing and seals. We find the entry points, repair the damage, and address the ventilation issues that let ice dams form in the first place.
What to do immediately after a storm hits your roof
1. Stay safe and stay off the roof
Do not climb up to inspect it yourself. Damaged roofs are slick and unstable, and downed power lines may be nearby. Look from the ground and let a professional get on the roof.
2. Document the inside damage
Photograph any ceiling stains, leaks, or interior water damage with the date. This supports your claim alongside the roof documentation.
3. Call for a free inspection
Have the roof professionally inspected and documented before you file. Knowing the real scope first means the claim reflects all the damage, not just what is obvious.
4. Contact your insurance company
File the claim with your carrier. We provide the photos and documentation you need, and we can meet the adjuster on the roof to walk the damage together.
5. Prevent further damage
If the roof is open, we install an emergency tarp right away. Most policies require you to prevent further damage, and tarping protects both your home and your claim.
Our storm damage repair process
Step 1: Fast inspection response
We get out to inspect storm-damaged roofs as quickly as the schedule and weather allow, and we prioritize homes with active leaks or open sections.
Step 2: Emergency tarping if needed
If the roof is open or actively leaking, we install a tarp to stop further water damage before anything else, protecting your home and your claim.
Step 3: Full damage documentation
We photograph and document the full scope of the damage by section so nothing gets missed when the claim is reviewed.
Step 4: Meet your insurance adjuster
We can meet the adjuster on the roof and walk the damage together, so the assessment reflects what is actually there. Final coverage decisions are made by your carrier.
Step 5: Full repair or replacement
Once the claim is approved, we complete the repair or full replacement to manufacturer specification and back it with our written workmanship guarantee. For full replacements, see our roof replacement page.
Step 6: Claim close-out
We provide final documentation and invoicing so your claim can be closed out cleanly and any recoverable depreciation can be released.
Working with your insurance company
Storm claims come with their own vocabulary, and it helps to know the terms before you file. Your policy is either ACV (actual cash value, which pays the depreciated value) or RCV (replacement cost value, which pays to replace the roof, usually in two checks). You are responsible for your deductible, and on RCV policies the recoverable depreciation is released after the work is completed and documented. If the adjuster’s scope misses damage, a supplement can be filed with supporting documentation. We document the damage thoroughly so the claim reflects the real scope, and we keep final coverage decisions where they belong, with your carrier.

Frequently asked questions about storm damage roof repair
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage often is not visible from the ground. Signs include granules collecting in gutters and downspouts, dented gutters or vents, and bruised or pockmarked shingles. The reliable way to know is a professional inspection, which we provide free of charge and document for your claim.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim after a storm?
Most policies have a filing window, often one year from the date of loss, but it varies by carrier and policy. File sooner rather than later, and have the roof documented quickly so the damage is clearly tied to the storm date.
Will my insurance premium go up if I file a storm damage claim?
Storm and hail claims are weather-related and are generally treated differently from at-fault claims, but premium decisions are up to your carrier. We cannot advise on your specific policy, but we can make sure the damage is documented accurately so the claim reflects the real scope.
Do you offer emergency tarp installation?
Yes. If your roof is open or leaking after a storm, we install an emergency tarp to stop further water damage while the claim and repair are arranged. Preventing further damage also protects your claim.
How fast can you respond to storm damage in Nashville?
We prioritize storm-damaged roofs with active leaks or open sections and get out as quickly as the schedule and weather allow. Call us and we will give you a realistic response time based on current conditions.
Will insurance pay for a full roof replacement or just repairs?
It depends on the extent of the damage and your policy. Widespread hail or wind damage often leads to an approved full replacement, while isolated damage may be repaired. We document the full scope so the carrier has what it needs to make that determination.
What if my insurance claim is denied?
A denial is not always the end. If we believe the scope was missed, we can provide additional documentation to support a re-inspection or supplement. Final decisions rest with your carrier, but thorough documentation gives the claim its best footing.
