What Should Your Roof Emergency Plan Look Like?

Weather events are unpredictable and they can cause extensive roof damage that’s expensive to repair. In such a situation, it helps to know the steps you should take to bring your roof back to excellent condition.

For roof emergencies, preparedness is the key. Here are some measures that you should add to your roof emergency plan.

Before the Storm

Roof Inspections

Regular roof inspections will identify the roof’s structural and material weaknesses needing immediate repair. Thus, they help reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and prolong your roof’s lifespan.

Roof Maintenance

Roof maintenance involves roof cleaning and repairs. Roof cleaning is essential to remove debris buildup and standing water, especially in the gutter. Furthermore, cleaning removes moss and mold growth on your roof.

Roofing Records

If you have professional roofers regularly inspecting and maintaining your roof, you’ll have access to complete maintenance records. During emergency repairs, they will also provide the necessary roofing records, which you can later refer to when you need to have your roof repaired again.

After the Storm

Calling Your Insurance Agent

Call your insurance agent and inform them about your roofing situation. They can help you start the claims process. Your insurance company will also send an adjuster to check and assess the damage to your property.

Storm Damage Documentation

Once the storm clears, carefully approach your home and steer clear of dangerous areas. Using binoculars, examine your roof for any damage. Missing asphalt shingles or roof tiles indicate storm damage. Inside your home, look for signs of leaks such as water stains on your walls or ceiling.

Schedule and Wait for Repairs

Work with your roofer and insurer to finalize your deductibles and coverage. Then, schedule your roof repairs.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
