โ๏ธ Storm season question we hear constantly: "If a storm damages my roof, does my warranty cover it โ or my insurance?"
Great question, and the answer is usually both, just for different things. Here's how it breaks down ๐
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ handles sudden, storm-related damage โ think hail dents, wind-lifted shingles, or a fallen limb after a Georgia thunderstorm. This is the path for most storm claims, and it's where documentation matters most.
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ covers different ground. A manufacturer warranty protects against product defects, and certain systems include wind coverage โ for example, the GAF Golden Pledgeยฎ (which we can offer as a Master Eliteยฎ contractor) includes a 15-year wind warranty on qualifying roofs. A workmanship warranty protects against installation issues.
The key thing to understand: storm damage is typically an insurance matter, not a warranty claim. And the two can overlap in confusing ways, which is exactly why a professional inspection helps.
A few tips after a storm:
โ
Photograph any visible damage right away
โ
Don't clear debris until it's documented
โ
Note the date of the storm
