Free inspection with photos of every area of damage, ready for your insurance claim.
Wind, hail and falling limbs can open up a roof in minutes, and the water that follows does the real damage. We inspect storm damaged roofs across Pittsburgh, from Brookline and Squirrel Hill to Mount Lebanon, Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair. If the roof is open, we cover it the same visit so rain stays out while the claim moves.
Most storm calls in Pittsburgh come down to four kinds of damage, and they often show up together.
Lifted, creased and missing shingles along ridges and roof edges.
Bruised shingles, lost granules and dented gutters, vents and flashing.
Cracked decking and holes that let water straight into the attic.
Leaks, wet insulation and ceiling stains after heavy rain gets in.
Insurance pays for sudden storm damage, not normal wear, so this is the question that decides most claims. Here is how we tell them apart on the roof.
Storm damage gets worse with every rain. These six steps protect your home and your insurance claim.
Stay off the roof and away from downed lines and hanging limbs. Wait for daylight.
Move valuables away from leaks, set out buckets and lay towels down to protect floors.
Photograph the damage from the ground and every leak inside before cleanup.
An open roof needs a tarp before the next rain. We can cover it on our first visit.
Report the damage, note the claim number and ask when the adjuster can come.
Never sign with a door knocker. Ask for a PA license number first.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail and falling trees, but not normal wear. Your deductible is the part you pay, and many policies hold back part of the payment until the work is done, so ask your insurer how that works on your policy. Before the visit, read what not to say to a roof insurance adjuster.
Damage in one area on a roof in good shape is usually a repair.
Damage across the roof or an aging roof is usually a replacement.
Word for word from homeowners who called us after a storm or a leak.
Alan construction repaired my roof from storm damage. Also removed wood sofa facial and applied all new wood and gutters. Did an excellent job. The men were professional and very neat. Clean up after each day. Asked questions when needed. I would highly recommend them. Alan was always responsive and kept me informed along the way.
We walk the roof and photograph every area of storm damage for free.
If the roof is open, we cover it so rain stays out while the claim moves.
We send the estimate to your insurer and walk the roof with the adjuster.
Our crew repairs or replaces the roof and sweeps the yard for nails after.
Most policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail and falling trees. They do not cover normal wear or an old roof failing with age. Your deductible and policy terms decide what is paid.
Look for missing or lifted shingles, granules in the gutters, dented gutters and vents, and new water stains inside. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground, so an inspection is the safest way to know.
Yes. We photograph the damage, write a detailed estimate and meet your adjuster at the house so nothing is missed.
Deadlines vary by insurance company and policy, so check yours. Filing soon after the storm is always better, because damage that sits gets worse.
Yes. When a storm leaves part of the roof open, we cover it to stop water from getting in until the repair or replacement is done.
If the damage is limited and the roof is in good shape, a repair usually makes sense. If damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, replacement is the better value.
We match the color and style as closely as we can. Older shingles fade, so a repair on an older roof may not be an exact match.
Yes. We inspect shingles, vents, gutters and siding for hail damage and include all of it in the estimate for your claim.
Yes. We install and repair vinyl siding, gutters, and soffit and fascia, so the whole exterior can be fixed by one crew.
After a big storm, call or send the form as soon as you can. We schedule inspections in the order they come in and get to active leaks first.
Most storm repairs and most full roof replacements are finished in one day once the claim is approved and materials arrive. We tell you the day before we start.
Make sure everyone is safe and the roof is covered first. Then call your insurer to open the claim. An early inspection from a roofer helps you know exactly what to report.
We check the shingles, flashing, vents, gutters and siding, look for leaks in the attic when needed, and photograph everything we find. You get the photos and a written estimate.
Yes. Roof work happens outside, so you can stay in the house. We keep the driveway clear while we work and sweep the yard for nails when we finish.
Yes. We repair and replace rubber flat roofs on homes, porches and garages, along with shingle roofs. The inspection and claim help work the same way.
Ask your insurer for the reason in writing. If we found storm damage, you can request a second inspection, and we can walk the roof again with the new adjuster and show the photos.
