Frequently Asked Questions
No two properties (and their inherent roofing systems) are the same in terms of size, scale, design, or overall condition. There are many commonalities & frequent occurrences that are all but inevitable during the duration of a structure’s standing.
In a shingle, rolls of fiberglass are dipped in Asphalt and coated with Granules. The hail stone strikes the shingle, which softens its integrity and loosens the granules. After some light rain, the granules wash away and now the asphalt is exposed to the UV rays of the sun and starts to deteriorate which compromises the shingle, rendering it ineffective. Allow one of our Qualified Storm Shield Reps to thoroughly inspect each slope and perform a test square to qualify for an insurance claim.
Three Tab Shingles are only rated for up to 60 MPH winds. High Winds can cause the shingle to lift, breaking the seal and allowing debris to affect it from resealing. If the Shingle is creased, the roof may be deemed unrepairable. Allow Storm Shield Restoration to perform a Stress Test to see if you qualify for a repair.
