Right After the Storm
- Make sure everyone is safe and stay clear of downed power lines.
- Do not climb on a damaged roof.
- Move valuables away from leaks and catch dripping water.
- Photograph damage inside and out.
- Call us for emergency tarping and an inspection.
After widespread storms many homes need help at once, so we prioritize active leaks and openings. We do not promise a specific arrival time, but we keep you informed.
Tarping and Temporary Protection
A properly secured tarp keeps rain out until permanent repairs can be made. We fasten tarps to wood battens and extend them over the ridge so wind cannot get underneath. A loose tarp flapping in the next storm can tear more shingles and let in more water than the original damage. Our guide to emergency roof tarping explains why a correctly installed tarp matters.
Documenting Damage for Your Claim
We inspect every slope, gutters, vents and siding, photograph wind and hail damage and record the storm date. That documentation supports your insurance claim. We explain our findings, and your insurer decides coverage. See our Tupelo storm damage and insurance claims page for more on the process.
Rebuilding Stronger
When we rebuild, we use high-wind installation methods, upgraded underlayment and secure edge metal. Impact-resistant shingles and metal roofing are options for homeowners who want more protection next time. We also check gutters, siding and windows, since storms that damage a roof often damage the rest of the exterior too. For full replacements, our Tupelo roof installation page has the details.
Common Questions
Do you provide residential roofing in Tupelo, MS?
Yes. We repair, rebuild and replace home roofs throughout Tupelo and Lee County.
How quickly can you tarp my roof after a storm?
We respond as quickly as conditions and demand allow, prioritizing homes with active leaks or openings. We cannot promise an exact time after a widespread storm.
Will you photograph the damage for my claim?
Yes. We provide dated photos and a written summary of wind, hail and debris damage to support your insurance claim.
Should I sign with the first roofer who shows up after a storm?
We recommend taking your time. Check that any contractor is licensed and insured, has a local address and puts everything in writing. A tarp buys you time to decide.
Can you repair siding and gutters damaged in the same storm?
Yes. We repair or replace damaged siding, gutters and downspouts along with the roof, so one contractor handles the full exterior and the documentation.
