Storm damage roofing โ€” tarp today, full fix when insurance clears

When you call Kennesaw Pro Roofing after a storm, you get a tarp on the roof today โ€” not a sales rep three days from now. We staff a dedicated storm response team separate from our day-job crews, and we cover Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Smyrna, Powder Springs, Austell, Mableton and the rest of Cobb. We will document damage for your insurance adjuster on the same visit, and we will stay involved through insurance final-clear so you do not get a partial payout that does not cover the work.

Storm-damaged residential roof in Cobb County Georgia with emergency tarp

Storm event services

Three things every storm response starts with. We do them in order, in writing, and within 48 hours of your call.

Emergency tarp

If your roof is leaking into the home, we tarp before anything else. Tarp is removed and credited at the start of permanent work.

Tarp policy โ†’

Photo documentation

Every slope, every penetration, every spot of damage โ€” photographed, GPS-tagged, time-stamped. Your carrier expects this.

Sample packet โ†’

Adjuster meeting

We meet the adjuster on your roof when the carrier schedules it. No charge, no obligation โ€” this is part of how we work.

INSURANCE CLAIM STEPS

How we run an insurance claim

Most Cobb County storm-damage projects go through insurance. Here is the exact flow we use โ€” the same flow we would want if our own home was hit.

  1. Day 0โ€“2: Free inspection + tarp if needed. Photos uploaded to your private project folder.
  2. Day 2โ€“7: You file the claim. We hand you the photo packet and damage summary your carrier will ask for.
  3. Day 7โ€“21: Adjuster visit. We are on the roof with them. We flag items the standard inspection often misses.
  4. Day 14โ€“30: Carrier issues the scope. We review it line by line. Missed items become a supplement request.
  5. Day 30โ€“60: First check + depreciation. We schedule the build once the funds clear.
  6. Day 60โ€“75: Build + photos + final walkthrough. Final invoice + warranty package uploaded to your folder.

What storm damage looks like

Most homeowners never look at their roof from above. After a hail or wind event, these are the signs that mean you need a professional to climb up.

Granule loss

Granules in gutters or at downspout exits after a storm โ€” strong signal of hail spalling.

Detail โ†’

Soft-metal dents

Vents, flashing, gutters, gas meter caps, HVAC fins โ€” three-plus dents on the storm elevation is enough for a claim.

Soft-metal protocol โ†’

Lifted or missing shingles

Walk the perimeter; curls, lifted tabs, missing patches.

How to spot โ†’

Ceiling stains within 14 days

Storm-driven penetration, even months later. Schedule an inspection.

Timing guide โ†’

Cracked tile or split seams

On tile or flat-roof membrane โ€” visible after a wind event.

Material-specific โ†’

Car or HVAC damage in the same storm

Strong corroborating evidence for an insurance claim.

Storm damage FAQ

How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?

Most homeowner policies allow one year from the storm date; some allow two. Do not assume โ€” check your declarations page. We can help you read the relevant section.

Will my premium go up if I file?

Filing a single weather-related claim in Cobb County does not usually trigger a premium increase. Carrier behavior differs; we can talk you through what your specific carrier tends to do.

What if my adjuster already came out and missed items?

We prepare a written supplemental request with photo evidence. The carrier re-opens the file, reviews, and either approves the additional scope or sends a second adjuster. This is normal and expected โ€” we do it weekly.

Do you handle tree-fall off-roof damage?

If the tree was on your property and came down in a storm, yes. We coordinate with the tree service, the insurance carrier, and the structural trade (framer) if the truss system was damaged.

Active leak or recent storm?

Call the 24/7 line first. We will get a project manager on your roof within 24โ€“48 hours.
