Types Of Storm Damage We Handle

Storms come in many different forms. Unfortunately, storms can also be unpredictable in the amount of damage they cause. At Meyer’s Pride, we help homeowners navigate through all types of storm damage, including the following:

Hail-related roof damage is one of the most common types of catastrophic losses homeowners may experience. Hailstones can strike a roof at incredible velocities of 70+ mph, causing untold harm to all aspects of a roofing system, including the surface, sublayers, flashings, soffits, and fascia boards.

With the most destructive tornadoes, wind gusts can reach speeds of up to 300 mph. Additionally, straight-line winds common to DFW may achieve velocities of between 100 to 150 mph. Accordingly, wind is a leading cause of roof damage, including loose or missing shingles and asphalt shingle granule loss.

Falling debris is one of the highest risk factors for roofing systems. Large branches or tree limbs can puncture roofing materials, dislodge flashing, and create leaks. Roofing professionals recommend trimming or removing adjacent branches and limbs to minimize the risk of debris-caused roof damage.

A compromised roof is highly susceptible to moisture intrusion. For example, curled or missing shingles invite water to penetrate through the sublayers and into attic spaces. Wood rot to structural components occurs. Mold or mildew formation happens. Interior water damage, including flooding, takes place.

A lightning strike can cause a fire by igniting combustible materials, such as aging or worn asphalt shingles. Lightning typically results in extreme but localized overheating, capable of burning through or melting down surface components. It might also create a sudden but destructive electrical surge.

Storm Damage and Restoration

Choosing A Reputable Roofing Contractor In DFW

Following a storm, a homeowner or commercial building owner can feel confused, not knowing which direction to turn. In the immediate aftermath of a calamitous event, take a deep breath and follow these simple steps in identifying a qualified roofing company to assist:

Close up storm Damage
  1. Select a local roofing contractor. Avoid the out-of-towners and fly-by-nighters who will likely descend on your neighborhood. They will promise the world but underdeliver.
  2. Verify the roofer is licensed and insured. Not all roofing contractors have licensing or adequate general liability and worker’s compensation insurance. Steer clear of them.
  3. Evaluate the roofing company’s reputation. Online reviews and testimonials will tell the story. Check Google, Yelp, Facebook, and other sites to gauge customer experiences.
  4. Inquire about the roofer’s storm damage expertise. Determine if the contractor specializes in this segment of the overall roofing industry. Choose an expert to avoid issues.
  5. Request a complimentary assessment. Immediately following the storm, a reputable roofer will dispatch an experienced inspector to assess the overall situation comprehensively.
  6. Assess the roofing contractor’s communication skills. Analyze the roofer’s responsiveness to your questions and overall professionalism during the initial contact process.
  7. Avoid red flags. Stay clear if a roofer provides a lowball offer, uses high-pressure tactics, refuses to put an estimate or contract in writing, or only accepts cash as payment.

Navigating The Storm Damage Recovery Process

The storm damage recovery process for residential and commercial roofing systems requires patience and perseverance. However, if you choose a reputable local roofing company, such as Meyer’s Pride, the overall service experience will go much more smoothly than with a less knowledgeable or established contractor. Key milestones include:

  1. Initial roof inspection. The roofing contractor will promptly dispatch a knowledgeable inspector to assess the extent of roof and property damage.
  2. Documenting the damage. The roofer will diligently take detailed notes, photos, and videos of the destruction of the roof and surrounding property.
  3. Making temporary repairs. The professional will utilize mitigation techniques and repair measures to prevent further roof and property damage.
  4. Securing a written estimate. The contractor will draft a detailed written quote for the estimated cost to remedy the damage and provide a proposed timeline.
  5. Filing an insurance claim. The homeowner will submit an insurance claim based on the information gathered and the likelihood of a successful outcome.
  6. Insurance adjuster visit. The insurer will assign an adjuster to visit the property (and meet the roofer) to determine the extent of damage and coverage.
  7. Negotiating with the insurance company. The homeowner will need to engage with the insurer to discuss the details of what work the insurer will indemnify. 
  8. Securing required permits. The roofing contractor will pull any needed permits based on local regulations provided by the state or municipal building code.
  9. Performing roof work. Whether the roof needs repair, restoration, or replacement, the roofer will complete this work in a timely and efficient manner.
  10. Finalizing payment. After securing all inspection approvals, the insurer will settle with the homeowner and roofing contractor to complete payment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. However, the homeowner’s insurance policy will explain what recovery and indemnification options exist. In many instances, the insurer will agree to replace damaged materials with identical new materials rather than an upgrade. In these instances, a homeowner would need to pay the additional cost difference between the standard replacement and the upgraded materials. As an initial step, discuss the possibilities with a knowledgeable and experienced roofing contractor like Meyer’s Pride.

Most roof damage is not easily visible from ground level. Additionally, the average homeowner (or commercial building owner) lacks the knowledge, experience, and tools to identify the vast majority of problem areas corresponding to storm damage. A trained eye is necessary to ensure a proper diagnosis following a severe weather event. At Meyer’s Pride, every team member proudly possesses extensive expertise in identifying and addressing residential and commercial roofs impacted by a storm (or other outside forces).

Most insurance policies provide a one-year window to submit a claim. However, no homeowner should unreasonably delay filing a claim. The longer one waits, the more likely something will be missed. Instead of procrastinating, a homeowner should contact an established roofing contractor like Meyer’s Pride immediately following a storm. Discuss what steps to take next and whether preparing a claim makes sense under the circumstances.

Yes. In certain instances, an insurance company may recommend a particular roofing contractor. However, no homeowner is obligated by municipal statute or required by insurance law to choose any specific roofing professional. In fact, it is generally recommended that the homeowner research different options to identify a roofer who most closely aligns with their objectives. Not all roofing companies are created equal. Making the wrong choice could prove detrimental. Selecting a trustworthy roofer like Meyer’s Pride will provide peace of mind.

Timing is everything when it comes to contacting your insurance agent and filing an insurance claim. Homeowners are generally encouraged to touch base with their insurer in the immediate aftermath of a storm. However, homeowners should reach out to a reputable roofing contractor such as Meyer’s Pride to obtain additional guidance. Before submitting a claim, homeowners need to arrange an initial assessment of their roof’s condition to determine the extent of damage. Document every aspect of the roof and surrounding property with photos and videos. Secure a detailed written estimate from the roofing company outlining the specifics of what areas require repair, restoration, or replacement.
