FAQ
Hail & storm damage
Charlotte metro storms move fast. Here’s what Matthews-based Top Gun homeowners ask most after wind or hail.
What should I do right after a storm hits my roof?
Stay safe first. If you see active leaking, catch water indoors and call us. Avoid climbing on a wet or damaged roof — we’ll inspect it for you.
Can you tell wind damage from hail damage?
Yes. We look for lifted or missing shingles, bruised mats, damaged flashing, and other signs, then explain what we found in plain language.
Do you help with emergency tarp or temporary protection?
When temporary protection is needed, we’ll guide you on next steps and prioritize getting a lasting repair or replacement lined up.
Is hail damage always obvious from the ground?
No. Hail bruises and soft-metal dents are easy to miss from the curb. A walk-the-roof inspection with photos is the reliable way to know.
Should I file an insurance claim after hail near Matthews or Charlotte?
It depends on the damage and your policy. We document findings clearly so you can decide with better information — we never guarantee claim approval.
How soon after a storm should I get an inspection?
As soon as it’s safe. Early photos help if you need to file a claim, and catching damage early can stop a small bruise from becoming a leak.
FAQ
Insurance claims
Straight answers about documentation, adjusters, and what we can (and can’t) promise.
Will you meet my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We’re happy to walk the roof with your adjuster and make sure the damage is documented clearly.
Do you guarantee my claim will be approved?
No honest contractor can promise that. What we can promise is careful documentation and clear guidance so you understand your options.
Should I call you before I call the insurance company?
Either order works. Many homeowners call us first for an inspection so they know what they’re looking at before opening a claim.
Do you charge extra to help with the claim?
Our job is the roof work. Claim support — photos, estimates, and adjuster meetings — is part of how we serve storm customers, not a separate carnival fee.
What if the first offer from insurance seems low?
We can review what’s covered in the estimate versus what we documented on the roof and help you understand next steps, including supplements when they’re warranted.
FAQ
Repair vs replacement
We recommend repair when it still protects the home — and a full system when it doesn’t.
When is roof repair enough?
If the damage is localized and the rest of the system is sound, a targeted repair can protect your home for years. We’ll tell you honestly when repair still makes sense.
How do I know it’s time for a new roof?
Curling shingles, widespread granule loss, repeated leaks, or a roof near the end of its life are common signs. An inspection gives you a clear answer.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take one to a few days depending on size, weather, and deck condition. We’ll set expectations before we start.
Will you protect my landscaping and driveway?
Yes. We take care around the home, keep the site organized, and clean thoroughly before we leave.
Is a leak always a full roof replacement?
No. Many leaks are localized. We’ll tell you honestly when a repair is enough and when replacement is the smarter path.
FAQ
Inspections & process
What to expect from first call to finished work.
Do you offer free roof inspections?
Yes. Call (704) 246-6608 or request a quote online and we’ll schedule a free inspection at your home.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It helps if someone can grant access and hear the findings, but we can often inspect the exterior and follow up by phone with photos when schedules are tight.
How quickly can you stop an active leak?
Call us as soon as you notice water. We’ll prioritize urgent leaks and guide temporary protection if needed until a permanent fix is done.

Yes. We’re a licensed residential roofing company serving the Charlotte metro from Matthews. Ask for credentials anytime — NC licensed residential roofing · Insured.
Do you pressure homeowners into a tear-off?
No. Repair when it makes sense. Replace when it doesn’t. You’ll get options in plain English without a hard sell.
