Tree through the roof or an active leak? We can tarp the roof to stop interior damage while the claim and permanent repair get scheduled. Call us and we will move fast.
What to do after a storm hits Shiloh
- Stay safe first. Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof.
- Take photos of anything you can see from the ground: shingles in the yard, dented gutters, damaged siding, broken windows.
- Stop active water with buckets and towels inside, and call us if the roof needs a tarp.
- Get a free inspection before you file, so you know whether there is real, claimable damage.
- Keep receipts for emergency tarping or temporary repairs, since policies often cover reasonable steps to prevent more damage.
Hail versus wind damage
Hail leaves bruises: soft spots where granules are knocked off and the mat underneath is fractured, plus dents in vents, gutters and metal flashing. Wind damage looks different: creased or torn shingles, missing tabs, and shingles that have come unsealed and lifted. Adjusters look for both patterns, and we document them separately so nothing gets missed on your Shiloh claim.

Common questions
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim?
It depends on your policy, so check the declarations page or ask your agent. Filing sooner is always better, because damage that is left alone can lead to leaks that are harder to tie back to the storm.
Will you meet my insurance adjuster in Shiloh?
Yes. We meet the adjuster on the roof, walk through the damage we documented, and make sure everything gets looked at.
What if my claim is denied?
Sometimes there is no storm damage, and we will tell you that honestly. If we believe damage was missed, we can document it further and you can ask your insurer for a re-inspection.
Have tornadoes come through Shiloh?
Yes. NOAA records an EF1 tornado that touched down just southwest of Shiloh on Oct. 14, 2014, and an EF2 tornado that ended about two miles east-northeast of Shiloh on Nov. 16, 2011. A home in the 2014 path lost part of its roof.
Who handles roofing permits in Shiloh?
Harris County Community Development in Hamilton, (706) 628-4700, issues building permits in the county, but its page does not list Shiloh among the cities it serves. Check with the city and the county about your address before work starts.
