Is your roof already leaking?
If so, then your contractor should take measures to stop the leaks promptly to prevent further damage to the home. This could mean tarpingthe roof or removing the existing roofing materials to install a waterresistant underlayment.
Call your contractor first to schedule an inspection.
Call your insurance agent to start the claim process.
How widespread is the damage in your community?
Depending on how widespread stormdamage is in your community, it may bea while before the new roof is installed.The availability of roofing material mayplay a role, and contractors will be stretched to the limit as they work toprevent leaking roofs throughout the community.
SCHEDULEINSPECTION
LEAKY ROOF? WIDESPREADDAMAGE?
Make sure your chosen contractor
is properly licensed and insured,
both for your safety and theirs.
GET STARTEDIMMEDIATELY!
Contractors will be in
high demand after a
damaging storm.
Cost shouldn’t be the biggest
determining factor. Make sure
that the quality of work and
materials is up to standard.
IS THE CONTRACTOR
LICENSED?
COST ISN’T EVERYTHING
Your roofer should check to
make sure that your attic is
properly ventilated, since
poor ventilation can cause
shingle roofs to fail.
Did your roofer use quality
materials like good, sturdy
underlayments and roofing
products with a long warranty,
or did the contractor use the
cheapest products available?
New roof installations should be
done over a clean roof deck, not
over top of an existing roof.

Fasteners should be properly
installed — no raised nails or
loose screws.
