                               What is the  Roof Replacement process in Charlotte NC

Replacing a residential roof is a labor-intensive project and, depending on the type of roof, could take anywhere from a one day to a few more, depending on the size and complexity. The time involved is substantially affected by the weather, as well. Wind, rain or even just the threat of one of these will slow the process considerably. However if you are looking for a new roof and want your Insurance Company to pay for it here is a detailed step by step explanation of what you need to do.


Step 1
Make an appointment with Charlotte Pro Roofing for a free roof inspection. (You should not pay for an inspection, at Charlotte Pro Roofing we offer free Roof Inspections)

Step 2
 When we arrive to the appointment we take a camera up on the roof to take pictures of what we find.

Step 3
 Sometimes we find Hail Damage, which is small little pings in the roof shingles. Hail can also chip away the surface of the shingles and wear them down.

Step 4
We also may find a Wind Damage which can be anything from missing shingles, gaps in shingles with upturned edges that have come detached from the roof.

Step 5
We will be able to tell you if your Roof is damaged and should  be replaced. However you will need you homeowners insurance approval also. If we do find damage you will need to call your homeowners insurance company and file a claim for the roof.

Step 6
Your homeowners insurance company will then ask you several questions and schedule an adjuster to come out and inspect the Roof. Many times, the adjusters won't even get up on the roof, that's why at Charlotte Pro Roofing we prepare a detailed picture report for them with the pictures of damage taken by us earlier.

Step 7
You may have to argue your case using photo evidence. If so, just be persistent with your homeowners insurance company. Remember, this is why you have insurance in the first place - to replace damages to your home.
