Roof repair of my asphalt shingles

The decision to replace my asphalt shingles comes reluctantly, but every homeowner knows that sooner or later, roof repair is necessity. There are so many reasons to replace shingles, even when your roof is fairly new. If a summer storm blows through with severe winds or hail the size of tennis balls, your roof can be severely damaged in a very short period of time. It is prudent to make sure your asphalt roofing is inspected after every storm or heavy snow.

Most insurance companies will give you up to a year to file a claim related to severe weather. However, when it comes to storm damage, do not procrastinate. Get a local Winston-Salem or Greensboro roofing company to give you an expert inspection and detailed report of any damage that should be documented. If you take photos, try to make sure that they have time and date stamps. Make sure that you take good pictures. Make sure you get panoramic pictures of the home and any fallen branches, broken gutters, blown off shingles, or an extensive amount of granules in the gutter. Once you have your picture, call a trustworthy and reliable roofing contractor.

Be sure to check the flashing to see if any appears to be bent or sticking out abnormally.  Make sure that all the gutters are unclogged, check your skylights for leaks or water damage. As for climbing all over the roof, let the roofing company take care of that.

After selecting a roofing company

After their thorough inspection, your contractor will, or should provide you with a detailed estimate of the scope of work and the cost. This estimate should also tell you exactly what materials are necessary and why. Any residential roofing repair or replacement will also have the stated reason for the repair. This will help you with filing your insurance claim. The more reliable and experienced contractors will be more than happy to help you with the insurance claim process. They will even offer to meet with the adjuster or insurance agent to discuss the scope of work. The estimate should also include the length of time that the work will require and when the job will start and a tentative work schedule. It is best to find a local company who has years of experience dealing with the unique weather patterns and the different types of home construction and roof design that is particular to the Triad Region.
