If you live in Marion, Old Fort, Little Switzerland, Asheville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Montreat, Fletcher, Arden, Biltmore, Black Mountain, or anywhere in Western North Carolina, recent storms may have damaged your roof—even if you don't see leaks inside your home.

Many homeowners assume they should only file a claim if water is coming through the ceiling. That's not always true.

HERE ARE A FEW SIGNS YOUR ROOF MAY HAVE STORM DAMAGE:

Missing or lifted shingles
Hail bruising or impact marks
Wind damage along roof edges and ridges
Granules collecting in your gutters
Fallen tree limbs or debris on the roof

So... should you file an insurance claim? Not until you know if you actually have storm damage.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? Have your roof professionally inspected.

A qualified roofing contractor can determine whether the damage appears consistent with a covered storm event and help you understand whether filing a claim makes sense.

If it does, we'll document everything and help guide you through the insurance process.

Don't risk paying thousands out of pocket—or filing an unnecessary claim.
