Get a Professional Roof Inspection After a Hail Storm
At Rapid Roofing Solutions, we understand that the extent and impact of hail on a roof depend on various factors. These include the size of hailstones, wind speed and direction, your roofing materials, the roof’s age, and its slope. A hailstone, regardless of its size, can potentially cause functional or aesthetic damage to your roof. If not inspected and addressed, hail roof damage can lead to extensive water damage to your property.
When you choose our hail inspection services, you are investing in a comprehensive assessment that leaves no stone unturned. We diligently evaluate whether damage has occurred, identify its nature – be it functional or aesthetic – assess its extent, and offer tailored solutions to fix the hail roof damage.
We will help Assess Roof Hail Damage
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell whether your roof has suffered damage following a hailstorm. Luckily, the roofing experts at Rapid Roofing Solutions can help. We perform detailed roof inspections after a hailstorm. Indeed, we pay attention to even the tiniest detail to assess the strength and structural integrity of your roof.
There’s a lot more to hail roof damage than just stained tiles. If the hail gets past your roofing tiles – the first line of defence, the resulting damage can increase significantly. When inspecting your roof, we pay attention to any signs that could indicate the following:
- Dislodged granules, especially from asphalt shingles
- Cracking, splitting, and other forms of vinyl damage
- Damage to the shingle underlayment
- Missing or complete removal of tiles and shingles
- Damage to plastic roof vents and ridge caps
You probably know that hailstorm damage can be devastating to your roof. However, if you fail to identify the damage, those seemingly small cracks and pits can let in moisture or lead to destructive leaks. From our experience, hailstorms can compromise even the strongest roof structure. This is why you should allow our experts to inspect your roof (after a hailstorm), determine the extent of damage, and fix it on time.
Our Roof Repair Process
After a hailstorm rolls through Alberta and you are left with a damaged roof, it’s easy to feel rushed to fix the damage yourself or hire any roofer to fix it. Unfortunately, rushing the repair process before an inspection may lead to improper repairs. If part of the damage isn’t addressed appropriately, future repairs could cost you more than the original job. At Rapid Roofing Solutions, we implement a well-thought-out process to ensure your roof is repaired effectively.
Initial Assessment
During a hailstorm, nearly every part of your roofing system can become a casualty, from flashing to skylights, vents to chimneys, and even the gutter system. This is why a professional roof inspection of the entire roofing system is crucial. We will focus on determining the type and extent of damage that occurred and create a customized roof repair plan.
At Rapid Roofing Solutions, we understand that damaged or missing shingles may allow rainwater into the protective surface. From here, the rainwater can easily make its way into the attic, causing damage to the insulation and other parts of your home. Mould and other forms of water damage will ensue, which could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs. Luckily, you can prevent such costs by allowing our experts to inspect your roof after a storm.
Repairing the Damage
Roof repair or restoration is a crucial part of our post-hail roof inspection and restoration process. If the initial roof assessment indicates that your roof has taken a direct hit, we provide a detailed estimate for repairs and get to work. Our team comprises expert roofers who are fully equipped to provide comprehensive hail roof repair services in Alberta and beyond.
Roof Replacement vs. Repair – Get an Expert's Opinion
One of the most important components that protect your house is the roof. All you hold dear in your home – from luxury possessions to your loved ones – is under its roofing system. Unfortunately, hailstorms can compromise various functional and structural aspects of your property’s roofing system. Our detailed hail roof damage inspection will reveal the nature, extent, and location of the damage.
Suppose the damage is minor, like a few cracked shingles, dents on the gutter system, or some missing shingles. In that case, we can address the damage and restore your roof effectively. Beware of ‘storm chasers’ who show up at your door immediately following a storm to offer discounts. Such service providers may not be trustworthy – most of them want to make quick cash by preying on your roof in an emergency.
As much as you wish to repair your roof after a hailstorm, sometimes the only effective option is a complete replacement. For instance, when there’s extensive roof damage (over 30% of your roof is damaged), our experts will recommend a replacement. Other factors that we will consider before recommending a roof replacement include the roof’s age, its current condition, and whether the roof is compliant with the local construction codes.
Before you choose to repair or replace your roof after hail damage, it’s recommended to consider the cost factor. Repairs can save you thousands of dollars. After all, a few missing shingles and leaks can sometimes be fixed. However, making roof repairs frequently could cost you more in the long run. Our professional roofers will assess your roof and recommend the most cost-effective option – repairs or replacement.
Insurance Claim Experts
When you partner with Rapid Roofing Solutions, you will get professional and highly experienced roofers. Since our inception more than 15 years ago, we have been helping Alberta property owners file insurance claims related to hail roof damage.
A common mistake that most homeowners make is to call their insurance provider immediately after a hailstorm. This can result in mismanaged claims. Do not risk getting hit with higher property insurance because you filed a claim that you didn’t need in the first place. Our experienced and certified roofers will assess the roof damage to determine its extent.
At Rapid Roofing Solutions, we deal with property insurance providers regularly. After inspecting your roof and recommending the necessary repairs (or replacement), we will work with your insurer. Remember, the process of filing an insurance claim is complex. Luckily, filing a claim is part of what we offer our clients, taking stress and anxiety out of the process.
Prevent Future Roof Leaks
Despite the advancements in roofing material production and the extended life they’re likely to offer, your roof will be less efficient if installed or repaired by inexperienced roofers. It takes professional training, an in-depth understanding of roofing systems, and many years of experience to install roofs, assess them, and implement a roof management plan that will prevent leaks and other forms of roof damage.
All properties have unique details. Even houses in the same Alberta neighbourhood built by the same construction contractor have peculiarities. This is why it’s recommended to hire a trusted, certified, and experienced roofer to assess and repair your roof after a storm. Ensure the contractor is licensed and insured. One such company is Rapid Roofing Solutions.
