Trussville roofing questions
- How do I know if I actually have hail damage?
- You usually cannot tell from the ground, and neither can a door-knocker who has not been on the roof. Real hail damage is a bruise — a soft, dark spot where granules are knocked loose and the mat underneath is fractured. We chalk a ten-by-ten test square, count the hits inside it, photograph them with the date, and show you. If it does not meet threshold, we tell you that instead of filing a claim that gets denied.
- Someone knocked on my door after the storm and said my roof is totaled. Should I sign?
- Do not sign anything on the doorstep, especially a document that assigns your insurance benefits to a contractor. Get the company's Alabama license number, an address in the metro, and a second opinion. A legitimate contractor will have no problem with you taking a day.
- Are there rules for the Cahaba Project homes?
- The Cahaba Project is a recognized historic district, so exterior changes can carry more scrutiny than a standard subdivision. We check current requirements with the city before scoping rather than assuming, because the answer has changed over time.
