Roofing Reviews Project 5: Storm Damage

Another customer left us an awesome review. It means a lot to us when customers offer kind and reassuring words about our work. I like sharing some of our customers stories to help future customers know what to expect when we do work for them, especially on roof projects. Hiring the right roofer is not always an easy task, but it helps to know what to expect from the roofer you hire.

Hail Damage Roofing

This customer contacted us after a severe hail storm hit their region. Typically, hail requires 1.5″ to 2″ hail to be damaging enough to affect large enough sections of your roof. Mostly, you might need some roof repairs, or some siding repairs. Large hail isn’t a typical weather effect in any region, however, when large hail strikes it really causes a lot of damage.

When large enough hail strikes your roof it can damage the seals on your shingles. Damaged shingles lead to water making its way underneath your roof and into your home. The effects can be very devastating to your roofing system and cause a lot of stress for any homeowner.

After responding to this customers call we got to work right away. We arrived quickly and did a thorough roof inspection. The storm damage from the home was extensive and covered almost the entire roof. We believed that this qualified them as storm damage and cause for them to pursue a roof damage claim.

Next, the homeowner coordinated a meet up with their insurance company and we pointed out all of the damage to their adjustor. It didn’t take long for their insurance company to offer to pay for an entire roof replacement as well as a solid amount of interior damage.

After insurance approval, we did an entire roof replacement on the home. We installed a superior roofing system that will protect the home for years to come. Also, we repaired all of the damage done to the interior of the home, leaving everything like new.

Lastly, this customer was so pleased with our performance that they had us do an additional roof replacement for them and referred us to their mother when she needed roofing services! In the end, that is what it is all about, serving customers in their time of need and providing superior workmanship so they won’t have to worry about their roof.

“Jason and his crew handled storm damage to one of my rental properties as well as roof and water damage to my personal home. The work was top notch and they kept the interior of the house spotless while doing pretty extensive drywall demo and insulation removal. He did all the communication with the insurance company also which was a huge burden off of my wife and I. My mother recently suffered some roof issues on her home and my first call was to Absolute!”

–Aaron Elliston

“Thank you for the review. We appreciate you letting us serve your restoration needs.”

roofing reviews for Absolute Assurance Restorations

Nothing but positives to say about Absolute Assurance. Professional, thorough, and dependable. Well pleased with the quality and timeliness of the work. Highly recommend them. They did roof, gutters, and some window replacement. Jason went above and beyond our expectations!

In this instance, we discovered severe storm damage on this particular homeowner’s roof. There were entire sections of their roof that were totaled because of hail damage. Also, some of their windows and most of their gutters were severely damaged by the hail as well.

Firstly, we documented all of the damage. Secondly, we walked the homeowner’s through our storm damage roof repair process so they knew what to expect. Next, we followed up with their insurance company after they filed the claim. 

Hail Damage Roofers

As is often the case, we had to have some back and forth with the insurance company about some of the damages. Sometimes that is necessary part of the process to bring a homeowner’s roof up to Ohio Code. Consequently, we got all of the damages approved by their insurance for a full roof replacement. In addition, the damaged windows and gutters were also covered by their insurance. 

Next, the homeowner selected the style of roof, windows and gutters they wanted. Then we scheduled the installation on a day that was convenient for them. Lastly, after the roof replacement was finished we cleaned up the yard and left no mess. 

After all of that, the customer rewarded us with a fantastic roofing review!

Why You Need Proper Roof Installation for Storm Damage Claims

When you have storm damage you will need to a choose a roofer who knows how to fight for you. At Absolute Assurance Restorations, a top rated roofers in Mansfield Ohio, our roofers are highly trained and they know how to fight for you to get legitimate storm damage covered.

Oftentimes, an insurance company is motivated to pay to have your roof and siding repaired and move on, regardless of whether some corners need to be cut to cover the costs of the repairs. Many less experienced and shoddy roofers don’t speak up and try to get all of the damaged parts of your home covered. But when an experienced storm damage restoration company is doing the work, we push to be certain ALL damages are covered and that your roof is installed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code regulations. In other words, when your roof is damaged we don’t cut corners, your roof will be installed correctly and up to code.

Proper Roof Installation

Mansfield roofers roof replacement and vinyl siding installation and chimney flashing on home

When a roof is installed, no matter if the homeowner or the insurance company is paying for it, it has to be installed correctly. But why? Aside from the obvious answer, an improper roof installation can cause your insurance company to deny a future storm damage claim. So if a roofer installs your roof and cuts corners any future storm claims can be denied because of the shoddy installation. And yes, an insurance company is within their rights to deny a claim if a roof wasn’t installed properly.

How do I protect myself against a shoddy roof installation?

Roofing Contractor Reviews

First, you can protect yourself from choosing a bad roofing company by always checking their online Facebook and Google reviews. Online reviews can help paint a solid picture of the type of workmanship and follow-up a particular roofing company offers. A lack of reviews or consistently bad reviews may be an indicator that that roofer is not up to the task. 

Roofing Certifications

Second, check if they are a certified roofing company with a shingle manufacturer. For example, we have a Master Elite certification from GAF. This means that we have been trained by GAF to install their roofs properly and in accordance with the local regulations. And when we do a roof replacement, you will know that it is installed correctly and that we stand behind our work and an insurance company will know that it was installed properly upon inspection.

Roofers License and Insurance 

Lastly, check your roofers insurance and licensing credentials. Be certain they carry workman’s compensation insurance in case any on-the-job accidents occur. And check their general licensing to be certain they are locally licensed and have demonstrated a general workmanship quality.

Following these three basic tips will reduce the likelihood you ever experience a future roofing installation disaster. Prevention here is key and keep in mind that many people do not know to follow these basic steps, which opens them up to bad outcomes with their roof. We have witnessed many nightmarish scenarios involving shoddy roofing companies. 

Absolute Assurance Restorations is a top rated Mansfield roofing company. We have multiple locations across the Central Ohio Region. We also offer top rated siding contractors, gutter installation, windows and skylight contractors services. Our roofing services includes shingles, metal roofing, slate roofing, rubber and flat roofs. Lastly, we do all types of commercial roofing services. Contact us today for a free roof estimate.

Simple Roof Replacement Quickly Paid For by Insurance

With much of the region getting little rain over the past two months, quite a few homeowners had no idea they had storm damage. After the recent rains, those same homeowners sought to get their roofs repaired very quickly. One of them reached out to us by filling out one of our lead forms on our website. They mentioned they needed a roof inspection for a roof leak repair. We responded back to them shortly after their submission and scheduled a time for us to do a roof inspection on their home, at their convenience.

Storm Damage Roof Inspection

After we inspected their roof, we confirmed the source of their roof leak. However, in addition to the leak, we also revealed to them the storm damage we had discovered on multiple sides of their roof. Their shingles were curled upward in certain parts of the roof and “lifted up” in multiple other areas.

I explained to them their options and demonstrated that they had extensive wind damage. They agreed to use us as their roofing company of choice and had us set in motion our storm damage process. We provided them with a general estimate and they contacted their insurance with it. Less than a week later, their insurance company met at their home and we were there also (at the homeowner’s request) and their insurance adjuster verified all of the documented wind damage. Later, the insurance company approved all of the damage and told them they qualified for a new roof replacement.

New Roof Installation

We scheduled with the homeowner the best time to do their roof replacement. In addition to replacing their roof, they wanted to install some new sections of gutters because they were pretty aged and beat up. They picked the style of shingles they wanted for their home and we ordered all of the necessary materials.

We installed an entire roofing system with leak barriers, roof deck protection, proper attic ventilation, heavy-duty lifetime shingles and ridge caps. (Their roof is warrantied by the manufacturer and comes with our workmanship guarantee.) We did the roof tear-off and new roof installation in the same day and cleaned up the entire yard afterward. Their new roof looks great!

One Week Turnaround Time

To sum up, firstly we discovered and documented legitimate storm damage on their roof. Secondly, days later it was verified by their insurance company. Thirdly, later that same day the insurance company approved the claim. Next, the homeowner selected the shingle style and color, and decided to have us do some additional work at the same time. Then we scheduled the roof installation for two days later (pending weather). Lastly, we installed the new roof, inspected it, and cleaned up afterwards. From start to finish this process took one week! 

Mostly, this roofing claim was pretty simple and straightforward. But it isn’t always this easy, getting a new roof paid for by insurance because of storm damage can sometimes take extra time because of the back and forth with the insurance company. However, it is important for every homeowner to know that when you qualify for a claim, Absolute Assurance Restorations will be certain to fight on your behalf to make sure that your roof repair or new roof replacement is done properly and installed in accordance with the regulations in the Ohio Revised Code.

Roof and Home Siding Damage Qualified as Claim

Absolute Assurance Restorations handles lots of Mansfield roofing claims. Throughout the entire summer we have inspected many homes for simple repairs and they ended up having severe roof damage from storms during the spring. Here is another quick example. 

Storm Damage Roofing Inspection

We had a recent call for a roof repair. Apparently, there was a leak in one of the bedrooms of the home. It seemed simple and easy to the homeowner. The ceiling damage looked small and not too serious. However, when one of our roofers got there and onto the roof, extensive wind damage was discovered. 

Entire sections of shingles had been lifted up. Each time it would rain and the wind was blowing, rain water was easily making it into the attic of the home. (Typically, when it rains during a storm, there are strong winds.) We documented the damage and reported it to the homeowner. He was utterly shocked when he saw how extensive the damage was! When your roof looks okay from ground level, it is just hard to believe that a storm could cause so much damage. But the pictures of the damage always provide a new understanding of how powerful Mother Nature can be. 

Vinyl Siding Damage 

In addition to the extensive damage on the roof, this particular home also had severe damage to the siding as well. There were cracks throughout entire sections of his vinyl siding. Again, this homeowner could’ve believe that so much damage had been inflicted on his home by a previous storm that happened in late spring. Remember, he was just looking to get a simple roof leak repair!

After documenting all of the damage, we advised this homeowner throughout the claims process. Ultimately, his roof and siding damage qualified as storm damage and was paid for by his insurance. 

Once approved, we sent out our roofing contractor crew and our vinyl siding contractors crew at the homeowner’s convenience. The roof replacement and vinyl siding replacement were done in one day and we quickly cleaned up the yard mess afterward. The roof and siding were installed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and both came with full manufacturers warranties. Also, we provided our standard full workmanship warranty.

Simple Garage Roof Repair Becomes Free Roof Installation

Recently a customer called us for a routine free roof inspection on his garage roof in Mansfield, Ohio. He discovered a leak and contacted us to handle this basic roof repair. He had looked us up online and researched our company and the types of work we did. He was especially interested in the quality of work we did. We were pleased he trusted us to handle the work for him.

Proven Roof Inspection Process

When one of our highly trained roofers inspected his garage roof he discovered that the garage had severe storm damage. Also, because our roofers are trained to be very thorough, he inspected the roof of the man’s home as well. It is very fortunate that our roofer followed our normal roof inspection process because the roof on the home had even worse storm damage than the garage! 

We advised this customer of his various options and recommended a course of action that would serve the best interests of the homeowner. He contacted his insurance and provided them with our estimate and photographic evidence and the insurance company agreed that this was a possible claim. The insurance company wanted to meet the homeowner at the residence to verify all of the damages. The homeowner invited us to join to be certain all of the damages were pointed out from the inspection report. The insurance company verified the severe storm damage and the homeowner qualified for two new roofs. Both the garage and the home!

Storm Damage Discovered During Routine Inspection by Roofers

It is an eye-opening experience when a homeowner contacts us to get a routine roof inspection for a leak and we inform them we discovered storm damage during this routine inspection. This particular homeowner, we’ll call him Mr. Smith, simply wanted a roof inspection by top rated roofers in Mansfield Ohio. 

Mr Smith believed it was time for a new roof shortly after he noticed water damage in his ceiling. He contacted us to get an estimate for a new roof since he believed that his was getting pretty old. Most shingle roofs last between 25 and 30 years and he figured his had served its useful life. We sent one of our experienced roofers to do an inspection before Mr. Smith purchased a new roof. Oftentimes, when you have ceiling damage caused by a roof leak you can get by with a simple roof repair.

Storm Damage Roof Inspection

Upon arriving at the home, our roofer did a thorough inspection of the roof in search of the leak. After finishing the inspection, our roofer informed them (the homeowners) that their roof actually had severe storm damage caused by harsh winds. In addition, he showed them the detailed pictures of the damage and informed that most often this type of damage was covered as storm damage under most homeowner’s insurance policies.

Our roofer left the information with the homeowner and they contacted their insurance company about the damage. After doing their due diligence, the insurance company informed the homeowner that their roof damage qualified as wind damage and they would cover the damage, minus their deductible. Along with photos of the damages we also provided consultation for them so that there wouldn’t be any confusion during their back and forth with their insurance company.

Roof Replacement Approved on a Claim

Shortly after the insurance company gave the green-light to replace their roof, we installed their new roofing system in one day. Needless to say, they were very happy to get their new roof. In addition, they were super excited to have their roof paid for by their insurance simply because storm damage was discovered during a routine inspection. Talk about a win-win!

When a Simple Leak Becomes a New Roof

Absolute Assurance Restorations is one of the top rated roofing companies in Mansfield, Ohio. Without a doubt, we provide top level service when assisting customers to correctly identify roof and siding damage caused by fierce storms. In addition, we work with our customers to inform them of the best course of action when we do find storm damage to their home. Never should a homeowner have to go at it alone when trying to navigate the complex process of handling a storm claim. 

roofers mansfield ohio home with new shingle roof and brick siding

A recent customer of ours called us out for a typical leak in their roof and what seemed like a simple leak became a new roof. They just happened to be in an area that had experienced severe hail storm. Regardless, this particular customer was out of town and uncertain of how severe the storm had been, they simply noticed a small water spot on their ceiling. If anything, it just seemed like a simple repair. Nevertheless, they called us out for a free roof inspection and figured this was going to be a a quick and easy repair. Not even close.

Roof Hail Damage

roofing mansfield ohio two hands holding large chunks of hail

What started out as a simple call for a small leak, ended up becoming a rather large storm damage claim for the homeowner. When one of our highly trained roofers got on their roof, what he discovered was large amounts of hail strikes that had severely damaged the shingles. He also documented that the flashing was severely damaged around the chimney area. (The obvious leak the customer called about was caused by the chimney flashing leak, more on that in a minute.) We provided the customer with the documented damage and as a result they contacted their homeowner’s insurance company to file a claim. 

What is important to note in this situation is that we were the second company this homeowner called. They hadn’t checked the credibility of the first company they originally called for an estimate. That first company gave them a quick repair estimate for the chimney flashing and didn’t even notice all of the severe roof damage from the hail strikes! The homeowner called us for a second opinion because we had superior ratings and reviews compared to the first company they had called. Unlike the other company, we were thorough and made certain that we inspected their entire roof and we documented everything the homeowner would need to make an informed decision with our recommendations. 

A Simple Leak Becomes a New Roof

In the end, because of our superior expertise to accurately identify storm damage and provide an excellent course of action, we earned their trust and performed all of the necessary work to restore their home to its proper condition. Most importantly, the entire job was paid for by their insurance company (minus their deductible)! Included in their storm damage roof repairs was an entire roof replacement, new gutters, flashing, and even two brand new second floor windows.

Roof Damage Storm Claim Pro Tips

Absolute Assurance Restorations is one of the top rated roofing companies in the region. We pride ourselves on providing you with elite roofing and siding installation services especially on roof damage storm claims. We value our customers and the trust they have for us and we will always do right by them. However, not all roofing companies can make the same claim. Oftentimes, customers are persuaded to use companies who are either not that skilled in roofing or they place their trust in a referral and end up with a company who cuts corners to save money. Both of these scenarios tend to not work out well for the homeowner and create bad outcomes for them.

Roof Replacement Claim

For example, recently a homeowner contacted us about a consistent roof leak on a roof that was just replaced two years earlier. The new roof was paid for by their insurance company because it was a roof damage storm claim. This family trusted their insurance company’s recommendation to use a local roofing company to do the roof replacement. They were assured that this company was good due to the fact they were a “preferred vendor” by their insurance company. Why wouldn’t you trust your insurance company? That seems like it would be a wise decision.

The sheathing on this roof was not updated to meet the Ohio Revised Code (notice the large gaps between boards) before the new roof was installed by the shoddy contractor. This caused the shingles to not be fastened properly to the roof. We were called in to fix it correctly.

On this particular roof, the preferred contractor didn’t install the roof according to the Ohio Revised Code. (It is important to note, when your roof isn’t installed correctly your manufacturer warranty is voided.) And because of that fact, the shingles were not fastened correctly and were prone to get lifted up during wind storms. This caused consistent leaks from their roof. And despite all of the leaks that damaged the interior of the home, the roof didn’t have any visible damage from the ground. Basically, the shingles would get lifted up slightly during the storm, allowing rainwater to enter the home, then settle back down after the storm making it look like the roof was in pristine condition. 

Get a Roof Inspection

The homeowner kept contacting the preferred contractor who installed the new roof and they refused to stand by their workmanship. They didn’t believe that rainwater entering into the home was caused by them, despite the fact that they installed the roof! This back and forth went on for multiple years. Frustrated, the homeowner gave up trying to get them to do the right thing. 

We were called to do a free “no contact” roof inspection to diagnose the problem for them. Because of our extensive experience diagnosing roof leaks, we figured it out pretty quickly. Ultimately, we had to replace their entire roof due to it being installed incorrectly. In contrast to the previous company, when we installed the new roof, we installed it correctly and in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. Above all, the problem is now solved, no more rainwater leaking into the home during storms. 

Use a Certified Roofing Company

I believe this story is important for all homeowners to be aware of. Most insurance companies will do the right thing in most cases. However, don’t just take their word for it about a preferred contractor. Sometimes who they prefer won’t put your needs ahead of the insurance company’s needs. 

The best way to avoid a shoddy roofing company is to check their license and insurance credentials, their reviews, and most importantly check to make sure that your roofing company is a certified installer so your new roof warranty doesn’t get voided. By following these roof storm damage claim pro tips you will be more likely to have a positive experience.

Siding Damage from Storms

When a Storm Damages Your Siding

When a storm damages your siding you will need to get an inspection done as soon as possible. If there are visible holes or cracks in your siding then you will need to get it repaired as soon as possible. High velocity crosswinds can blow debris or hail directly into your siding causing severe damage. Oftentimes, the damage is more severe than most people realize because it goes beyond just needing siding replacement. There may be hidden damage toward the peaks of the home where the damage isn’t quite as visible when you are observing the damage from the ground.  

Most homeowner’s policies protect you from wind and hail damage when it damages your siding, windows, and trim. Most importantly, your roof is covered in the event that the damage affected your roof as well. When we get called out to do inspections for siding damage caused by storms, we always inspect the roof. It is essential that when you get an inspection for your siding that the roofers inspect your roof as well. Consequently, if your siding is damaged by the storm then it is highly likely that your roof is damaged as well.

Roof damage must be identified as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home. Lastly, it is important to keep in mind that most homeowner’s policies cover cosmetic damage as well.

Storm Damaged Roofs

Putting emergency tarps on storm damaged roofs has been easy to do. Certainly, that part of the process doesn’t involve direct contact with our customers. After tarping a customers roof, we have emailed them their estimate and got the process rolling for the customers who have claims they need to file. A lot of their roofs were damaged in the recent storms. Also, we have had quite a bit of hail damage in certain areas from hail that is almost two inches in diameter!
We have had plenty of roof repairs and many of our customers have been very accommodating and understanding. Our new process of avoiding close contact and emailing estimates to customers has been a big success. If anything, most customers seemed very excited about the ease of transition under the current circumstances. We are very grateful that all of our customers have been so easy to work with during this period of extreme caution. 

As roofers, Absolute Assurance Restorations will continue to remain open during this Ohio stay-at-home period because we are an essential business.
