A professional roof inspection can help identify and document visible storm-related damage to your roofing system. Refuge Roofing provides homeowners with clear information about the condition of their roof and can provide documentation related to our inspection and proposed scope of work. Your insurance carrier ultimately determines whether damage is covered under your policy.
-
Yes. Refuge Roofing regularly works with homeowners on roofing projects involving insurance claims. We can inspect your roof, document visible damage, provide detailed estimates and supporting information, and communicate with your insurance company regarding the scope of roofing work when needed.
While your insurance carrier determines coverage and claim approval, our team helps make sure you understand the roofing side of the process and what is needed to properly repair or replace your roof. Our goal is to keep the process clear, straightforward, and as stress-free as possible from inspection through completion.

A roof replacement can:
1) Improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs
2) Increase home value and curb appeal
3) Prevent costly water and structural damage
4) Offer peace of mind with long-term material and craftsmanship warranties
We install durable roofing systems built to last — with up to a 10-year workmanship warranty to back our quality.
-
If your roof is over 15–20 years old, or you notice signs like hail indentions, missing shingles, water stains, or rising energy bills, it's time for a professional evaluation. We'll give you an honest assessment — whether a repair is sufficient or a full replacement is the best solution.
-
Yes, in many cases a roof leak can be repaired without replacing the entire roofing system. The right solution depends on the source of the leak, the extent of the damage, and the age and overall condition of the roof.
At Refuge Roofing, we approach repairs with the same level of care as a full roof replacement. Our team will inspect the roofing system to identify the source of the problem and determine the proper repair—not simply provide a temporary fix. As a licensed roofing contractor, we complete repairs in accordance with applicable building codes and manufacturer requirements so the repaired area properly integrates with the existing roofing system.
Whether it’s a home, commercial building, church, multi-unit property, or other structure, roofing systems consist of multiple components designed to work together. A professional roofing repair takes the entire system into consideration, including proper materials, installation methods, flashing, drainage, ventilation, and other factors that may be contributing to the issue.
If the roof can be properly repaired, we’ll tell you. If the condition of the roofing system makes replacement the better long-term solution, we’ll explain what we found and why so you can make an informed decision about your property.
-
Rotten or damaged decking is sometimes discovered after the existing shingles are removed and the underlying roof structure is fully exposed. If Refuge Roofing finds damaged decking during your roof replacement, we’ll identify the affected areas and replace the compromised material as needed before installing the new roofing system.
A new roof is only as reliable as the structure beneath it, so damaged decking should never simply be covered up. Our team will make sure you understand what was found, what needs to be replaced, and any associated costs before moving forward. The goal is to provide a solid, properly prepared foundation for your new roof.
-
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in just one day, although the exact timeline depends on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and whether any unexpected issues are discovered once the existing roofing materials are removed.
Before work begins, Refuge Roofing will walk you through what to expect and provide a clear timeline for your project. If we uncover damaged decking or another issue that requires additional work, we’ll communicate with you along the way.
Our goal is to complete your roof efficiently without compromising the quality of the installation or the details that help protect your home for years to come.
-
Yes! We proudly stand behind our work with a craftsmanship warranty of up to 10 years on qualifying projects. Combined with top manufacturer warranties, this gives you long-term protection and total peace of mind.
-
A new roof improves energy efficiency, lowers utility bills, and reduces the risk of costly repairs or water damage. It can also increase your home’s value and may qualify you for insurance discounts, especially if upgraded materials or safety features are used. Over time, these savings often outweigh the cost of replacement.
-
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make roof repairs or replacements accessible for every homeowner. We’ll walk you through payment options during your estimate.
-
Hail and high winds can damage a roofing system in ways that aren’t always obvious from the ground. Common signs may include missing, lifted, creased, cracked, or damaged shingles; granule loss; dents or impact marks on roofing materials, vents, flashing, gutters, or metal components; and damage around roof penetrations and other vulnerable areas.
On commercial roofing systems, storm damage may look different depending on the roofing material and can include punctures, membrane damage, displaced materials, damaged seams or flashing, and other signs of impact or wind-related stress.
Because some storm damage can be difficult to identify without getting on the roof, a professional inspection is the best way to understand its condition. Refuge Roofing can inspect residential and commercial roofing systems, document visible damage, and explain our findings so you can make an informed decision about any necessary repairs or next steps.
If you suspect your property may have been affected by hail or high winds, having it inspected early can help identify damage before it develops into a larger issue.
