Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about roofing, storm damage, and insurance claims.
The best way to determine whether repair or replacement is the right choice is a professional inspection. Generally, if your roof is less than 15 years old and the damage is isolated, repair may be sufficient. If the roof is older, has widespread damage, or has experienced multiple repairs, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. We'll give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
First, ensure your family's safety. Then document the damage with photos if it's safe to do so. Call Red Ladder Roofing as soon as possible—we can arrange emergency tarping to prevent further damage and begin the insurance documentation process.
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover sudden storm damage, including wind, hail, and hurricane damage. Damage from wear and tear or neglect is typically not covered. We can help you understand what your policy covers and assist with the claims process.
