Common questions
How fast can somebody tarp my roof
Crews that run emergency service usually get out the same day. After a wide storm it can be several days, which is why calling early matters.
Is wind damage covered by insurance
Usually yes on a standard homeowners policy. The deductible and any separate wind deductible decide whether a claim is worth making.
A tree fell on my roof, who do I call first
Call the roofer to get it covered and call your insurer to open the claim. Do not climb up to look yourself.
