It depends on the extent and location of the damage, the condition of the roofing material, and whether the deck underneath is still sound. An inspection identifies which parts of the roof are affected so you can compare options before deciding.

Move anything you can out from under the leak and photograph the damage before it gets cleaned up, since insurance adjusters often ask for photos. A tarp placed over the affected area stops water intrusion until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

That depends on your specific policy, the cause of the damage, and your insurer's claims process, so it isn't something we can answer for you. We can document the damage with photos and a written scope of work for you to submit with your claim.

Your contractor removes the old roofing material down to the deck, inspects and repairs any damaged decking, then installs the new roofing system to manufacturer specifications and local building code. The schedule depends on the roof's size, pitch, material, and the weather during the work — your contractor can walk you through the process and timeline for your specific project.
