Atlanta’s Trusted Roofing Company for Hurricane Damage

Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across Northwest Georgia, Atlanta, and Upstate South Carolina, affecting homes and businesses alike. If your home was in the storm’s path, your home has likely sustained some damage and may need crucial repairs to prevent a small issue from becoming a major problem later. In the wake of any major storm, it’s important to assess the damage and start the recovery process promptly. At United Contracting & Roofing, we understand how overwhelming this time can be, and we’re here to guide and assist you through it.

Prioritize Safety

Before anything else, ensure your home and property are safe. If there’s major damage – such as exposed electrical wires, flooding, or structural concerns – it’s best to stay away from the area until professionals have assessed the situation. The roof may have hidden issues, like weakened supports, that could cause a serious accident if you try to check it yourself. If you suspect major structural damage, contact emergency services or a qualified contractor immediately.

Document the Damage from the Hurricane

Once it’s safe, document all visible damage to your home. Take photos and videos of the exterior and interior, including the roof, siding, windows, and any affected rooms. This documentation will be critical when filing an insurance claim. Be sure to capture:

– Roof damage, such as missing or damaged shingles, debris punctures, and visible leaks.

– Damaged flashing or gutters, which may have been dislodged by high winds.

– Water damage inside your home, especially in your attic or ceiling areas.

United Contracting & Roofing can assist in this process by offering a free inspection to assess hidden issues, such as water intrusion or subtle structural weaknesses that might not be obvious at first glance.

Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

Hurricanes like Helene often cause damage that isn’t immediately visible to homeowners. That’s why it’s crucial to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. At United Contracting & Roofing, we provide comprehensive inspections that go beyond surface-level damage. Our experts will evaluate your roof, skylights, chimneys, and even solar panels to ensure that no aspect of your home is left unchecked.

Our team is trained to identify:

– Hidden leaks that could cause long-term water damage.

– Structural damage that could lead to bigger issues down the road.

– Weakened or missing shingles, flashing, and gutter systems.

We also offer emergency repair services to protect your home from further damage while you wait for the full repairs to begin.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Notify your insurance provider about the damage as soon as possible. They will guide you through the claims process, but remember, roofing and storm damage can sometimes be complex. This is where United Contracting & Roofing can help. We’ll meet with your insurance adjustor, handle the necessary paperwork, and ensure that the full extent of your home’s damage is covered.

By working with your insurance company directly, our team can expedite the claim and help you avoid common pitfalls that may lead to underpayment or claim rejection.

Begin Repairs and Restoration

Once your claim is approved, it’s time to move forward with repairs. Choosing a reputable, experienced contractor like United Contracting & Roofing ensures that your home will be restored to its pre-storm condition—or better! We use top-quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure your roof and home are prepared for the next storm season.

Whether you live in the greater Atlanta area, Upstate South Carolina, or elsewhere in Northwest Georgia, our family-owned company is here to provide the dependable service you need. With years of experience in storm damage repairs, United Contracting & Roofing is ready to help you every step of the way.

Plan for the Future

After your home is repaired, it’s worth considering future-proofing your roof. Ask us about installing more resilient materials or adding features like upgraded gutters or roof reinforcements that can withstand future hurricanes. These upgrades may be fully or partially covered by your insurer, so it’s wise to investigate your options. Proper maintenance and strategic improvements can save you from dealing with similar damage down the line.
