Roof Repairs After a Storm

If your home has been hit by severe weather or unexpected damage, it’s important to act fast. Immediate repairs can prevent further interior and exterior damage. Here are some common situations that require immediate roofing attention:

Storm & Wind Damage

  • Tornadoes and strong winds can rip shingles off your roof
  • Wind-driven debris may cause holes, cracks, or structural damage

Roof Leaks & Water Intrusion

  • Heavy rain can create sudden leaks, leading to water damage inside your home
  • Leaks left unaddressed can cause mold, rot, and structural deterioration

Falling Trees or Debris

  • Falling trees, or even large tree limbs, can devastate a roof.
  • Small branches and debris can also puncture the roof.

 Roof Repair FAQs

How much does a roof repair cost? 

Roof repair costs will vary depending on which part of your roof needs to be replaced. Replacing a couple of shingles will be less expensive than say a chimney repair. 

Should I choose to repair or replace my roof? 

This is a question that doesn’t always have an easy answer, but there are a few good barometers to help make this decision. The first is how often the roof leaks. If a leak pops up for the first time and there are no other issues, then repairing the roof is a reasonable option. On the other hand, we have seen roofs that seem to leak every time it rains or shingles blow off every time the wind blows. In these cases, replacing the roof is the better option. Another way to determine if you should repair or replace your roof is to compare the cost of the repair versus replacement. Considering the two estimates can really help you make that decision. Lastly, if you’re concerned that your roof might not endure the next storm and you’re losing sleep over that possibility, then replacing your roof is the better option.

How long does a roof repair take? 

Basic roof repairs include replacing blown-off shingles, installing an emergency tarp, or performing standard maintenance work. These can take just a couple of hours. Large repairs that include chimneys or repairing large sections of the roof can take up to a day. Some repairs can be completed the same day as your initial appointment; other repairs need to be scheduled for a later date.

What are some common mistakes when repairing a roof? 

The most common mistake that we see is caulking or using a spray on the leaky area. While it is possible to fix a leak this way, in most cases, the leak resurfaces later on. 

Once things are caulked or sprayed, it is hard to determine exactly where the leak is coming from. Because we have to remove all the caulking or spray that was initially applied, we often have to repair a much larger area than would have been necessary had the repair been completed without these materials the first time. Fixing the leak properly the first time will save you time and money, not to mention stress.

What areas on a roof are prone to leaking/needing a repair? 

Chimneys,valleys, walls, and roof vents as well as areas where pipes go through the roof are most susceptible to leaks. When having a new roof installed, ask questions about how these areas will be addressed. What products are being used? Are the flashings getting replaced? Choosing the right shingle to meet your needs is necessary. More importantly, however, is addressing these weak spots. 

Note: Every roof quote or inspection we provide addresses these areas.

Emergency Repair  FAQs

What should I know about having an emergency tarp installed on my roof? 

We have noticed a few things over the years that will prevent the tarp from causing you further problems. First, always use cap nails or at least roofing nails. Staples should never be used because they don’t have the length to penetrate through the shingle into the decking. Second, using synthetic felt paper is a better option than an actual tarp. Synthetic felt paper will last significantly longer. Third, only tarp the area that is needed. If shingles are only missing in a 4’x4’ area, then don’t tarp a 12’x12’ area. If you end up having to repair the roof, you will have to replace all of the shingles that have nail holes from the 12’x12’ tarp, making this repair more costly. 

A storm hit my area. What do I need to know before filing a claim? 

The most important factor to consider is the type of policy you have. Do you have an RCV policy or an ACV policy? RCV (Replacement Cost Value) will cover the full replacement of your roof, and ACV (Actual Cash Value) will only cover part of the cost to replace your roof. It’s also important to know your deductible for wind and hail damage. A 1% deductible is most common. 

An RCV policy with a low deductible is usually safe ground for filing a claim, whereas an ACV policy with a high deductible can be risky because of the high out-of-pocket cost. Let’s say a new roof costs $20,000. You have an ACV policy that will only pay for half the cost of your roof. Additionally, you have a $5,000 deductible. Your insurance company would only pay you $5,000 for the roof. However, with an RCV policy and a $2,500, your insurance company would pay you $17,500 for that same roof. 

The second factor to consider is the amount of damage to your roof. If you’re uncertain if your roof has enough damage to warrant replacement, it’s a good idea to have a roofing contractor assess the damage prior to filing a claim so that you don’t file a claim unnecessarily.

Do I have to pay my deductible? 

Yes, Governor Stitt signed a law requiring roofing contractors to collect the deductible. With an insurance claim, we collect the deductible. We offer payment options if needed.

My insurance company has denied my claim. Can you help? 

Absolutely we can help if your insurance claim has been denied. There are several reasons a claim might be denied. Performing our own inspection and sending our findings to the insurance company, including photos and documentation, is usually enough to get the claim moving again. It’s not always an easy process, but we have great success getting claims approved.

How can I prepare for Oklahoma storms? 

Always check your policy. Oftentimes policy information is overlooked, and when needed, homeowners realize that their claim is going to cost much more than expected. Confirming that you have an RCV policy and a low deductible will put you in a good position if a storm were to roll through. With the most recent storms, a considerable number of trees have fallen onto homes. Trimming your trees, as well as removing unhealthy ones, can prevent a hazard if high winds sweep through. Also, remove all debris from the roof and guttering. If water can’t run off the roof or drain from the guttering, problems occur. Most importantly, have a storm action plan in place and be weather aware.
