Trusted Storm Damage in Huntington

Huntington's position along the Ohio River makes it particularly vulnerable to severe convective storms during spring and summer. Warm, moist air from the south collides with cooler fronts moving through the valley, producing supercell thunderstorms capable of generating large hail and destructive straight-line winds. These storms don't discriminate — they damage roofs in Ritter Park, Highlawn, Westmoreland, and the newer subdivisions stretching toward Barboursville with equal force. The problem is that much of this damage is invisible from ground level.

Hail bruises shingles by fracturing the fiberglass mat beneath the surface granules. You might not see a crack, but the structural integrity of the shingle is compromised, and its lifespan drops dramatically. Wind damage is equally deceptive — lifted shingle tabs may reseal after the storm passes, but the adhesive bond is broken and the next strong gust will peel them back further. Mr. Roofer's trained inspectors know exactly what to look for. We climb every roof we inspect and document damage systematically — marking hail strikes, noting lifted shingles, photographing cracked flashing, and measuring the affected areas.

Unlike storm-chasing companies that swarm Huntington after severe weather, Mr. Roofer is based right here in the Tri-State area. We don't knock on your door unsolicited or pressure you into signing a contract on the spot. We earn your business by providing an honest, thorough inspection and a clear explanation of what we find. If your roof doesn't need replacing, we tell you. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with homeowners across Cabell County and the surrounding communities of Milton, Ceredo, and Kenova.

When storm damage warrants a full roof replacement, Mr. Roofer manages the entire process. We help you file your insurance claim with proper documentation, meet your adjuster on the roof during their inspection, and review their scope of work to make sure nothing was missed. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the replacement quickly and handle it professionally — tear-off, decking repair, new underlayment, premium shingles, ventilation, flashing, and a complete property cleanup.

Time is critical after storm damage. Most insurance policies require claims to be filed within a specific window, and delaying an inspection allows secondary damage — like water infiltration through compromised shingles — to develop. Contact Mr. Roofer for a free storm damage inspection as soon as possible after severe weather moves through the Huntington area.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Huntington, WV

Filing an insurance claim for storm damage can feel overwhelming, especially if you've never been through the process. Mr. Roofer simplifies it for Huntington homeowners. After our free inspection, we provide you with a detailed damage report including photographs, measurements, and a description of every affected area. This documentation forms the foundation of your insurance claim and gives your carrier the information they need to process it efficiently.

We coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster during their on-site inspection. This is a critical step — adjusters handling storm events in Cabell County are often unfamiliar with local roofing conditions and may underestimate the scope of damage. Our presence ensures that all affected areas are identified and documented. If the adjuster's initial estimate doesn't fully cover the necessary repairs, we submit supplemental documentation on your behalf.

Mr. Roofer has worked with every major insurance carrier operating in West Virginia. We understand the claims process inside and out, and we advocate for our Huntington homeowners to receive fair settlement amounts. Your typical out-of-pocket cost is your deductible — we handle everything else.

Storm Damage in Huntington — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Huntington homeowners

How do I know if my Huntington home has storm damage?

Many types of storm damage are not visible from the ground. Look for dented gutters or downspouts, shingle granules accumulating in your gutters or at the base of downspouts, dented window screens or siding, and any visible missing or lifted shingles. The safest and most reliable approach is to schedule a free professional inspection with Mr. Roofer.

When should I file a storm damage insurance claim in Cabell County?

File your claim as soon as possible after discovering damage. Most insurance policies have time limits — typically one to two years from the date of the storm — but filing promptly ensures the damage is fresh and well-documented. Mr. Roofer can inspect your roof within 24-48 hours of your call and provide the documentation you need to start your claim.

Will my insurance rates go up if I file a storm damage claim?

Storm damage claims are generally classified as catastrophic or weather-related events, which most carriers treat differently than at-fault claims. Rate increases depend on your specific carrier and policy, but in West Virginia, storm damage claims typically do not result in significant premium increases.

Do I have to pay anything out of pocket for storm damage roof replacement?

If your claim is approved, your out-of-pocket cost is typically your deductible. Mr. Roofer handles the rest through your insurance settlement. We never inflate prices or charge hidden fees — our pricing matches the insurance company's approved scope of work.

How long does the insurance claim process take in Huntington?

The timeline varies by carrier, but most storm damage claims in Cabell County are resolved within 2-6 weeks. Mr. Roofer expedites the process by providing thorough documentation upfront and meeting the adjuster on-site to minimize back-and-forth.

What if my insurance company denies my storm damage claim?

Claim denials happen, but they're not always final. Mr. Roofer helps Huntington homeowners understand their options, including requesting a re-inspection with additional documentation or filing an appeal. We stand behind our damage assessments and work with your carrier to reach a fair resolution.
