Roof Replacement Storm Damage Roof Repair

Mansfield Roof Replacement Project 2

This is yet another example of a home that experienced storm damage and we assisted the homeowner in getting all damages replaced. Instead of showing up and just giving a quote for a roof repair, like many other roofers, I sent one of my highly trained roofers out to do a thorough inspection of the entire roof and siding. After careful inspection, our roofer discovered severe storm damage across multiple sections of the roof. 

[As one of the top rated roofing contractors Mansfield Ohio, we pride ourselves on providing you with the most thorough roof inspection in the industry. Accordingly, we follow a point by point storm damage inspection process and we inspect every part of your roof. Contact the top residential roofing company for a free estimate.]

Free Roofing Estimate

First of all, in this particular situation, this homeowner contacted us for a free roofing estimate. Secondly, one of my highly trained roofers met with the homeowner at their convenience. Thirdly, instead of assuming the roof just needed a basic roof repair, my roofer discovered legitimate storm damage when he performed our step by step storm damage inspection process. And the damage was quite extensive across multiple sections of the roof.

Lastly, our roofer processed the estimate and provided it to the homeowner to submit it to the insurance company. The homeowner requested that we meet with the adjuster and after some back and forth with the insurance company, the roof damage was approved.

Aren’t All Roofers Equally As Good?

Actually, “no”. This scenario I described seems so simple, yet it gets botched quite often by shoddy roofers. This is a process that cannot be left to inexperienced companies and pushy sales people. The roof on your home matters greatly and no one can afford the time, money and frustration of hiring less-than-reputable contractors.  

Like any other profession, there is an entire spectrum of roofers who are great, good, average, below average and downright terrible. Calling a roofer who is anything but great (or at least good) makes it a near certainty that something is going to go wrong with your roof repair or replacement. And I’m not referring to issues like poor communication, untimely communication, or poor cleanup. I’m talking about someone who completely botches your roof by not installing it correctly, using shoddy materials, shoddy workmanship, or overcharges you in some way. 

The Importance of Your Roof

Your roof is your homes first and last line of defense. And there is nothing that protects your home from the outside elements that is more important than your roof. Your siding and windows are a close second. So picking a great roofer is essential to making certain that it is installed correctly, according to the Ohio Revised Code. Also, a great roofer will use top quality materials, provide outstanding workmanship and be certain that you aren’t overcharged.

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.
