After a major windstorm in Sandy or a heavy hail event in Provo, the first question most homeowners ask is: “Is my roof actually damaged, and what is this going to cost me to find out?”
The short answer is yes. At Liberty Roofing of Utah, we believe you shouldn’t have to pay a fee just to determine if your home is still protected. We offer 100% free, no-obligation storm damage inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout Utah County and the surrounding 40-mile radius.
Why a Professional Inspection is Better Than a “Quick Look”
While you might see missing shingles from the ground, the most dangerous storm damage is often invisible to the untrained eye. Experts recommend a professional roof inspection within 24 to 72 hours after a storm to catch:
- Hail Bruising: Small indentations that weaken the shingle structure and lead to leaks months later.
- Granule Loss: Heavy rain and hail strip away the protective coating, exposing shingles to UV damage.
- Lifted Tabs: High Utah winds can break sealant bonds. Even if they don’t blow off, they no longer keep water out.
Beware of the “Free Inspection” Scam
Not all free offers are equal. Many “storm chasers” descend on Utah neighborhoods after a weather event. Always choose a local company with a physical office and a 45-year track record to ensure they’ll be around to honor their warranties.
How Our Free Inspection Works with Your Insurance
If we find significant damage, our team helps you navigate the insurance claim process:
- Documentation: We provide high-resolution photos and a detailed report of the damage.
- Adjuster Meeting: We can be on-site when your insurance adjuster arrives to ensure no “hidden” damage is missed.
- No Cost to You: If there is no damage, we’ll tell you. You get peace of mind at zero cost.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
Many Utah policies have a 12-month window to file a claim after a storm. Waiting until you see a leak can make it harder to prove the weather caused the damage, potentially leading to a denied claim.
