How fast can you repair storm-damaged roofs?

We typically schedule inspections within 24–48 hours of your request. Once your insurance claim is approved, most roof replacements are completed in one to two days depending on the size and complexity of your roof.

Do you handle insurance claims for roof damage?

Yes. We specialize in working directly with insurance companies on behalf of homeowners. Our team documents the damage, prepares the claim, and communicates with your adjuster so you don't have to navigate the process alone.

What types of roofs do you repair or replace?

We work with all common residential roofing materials including asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, metal roofing, tile, and flat roof systems. If you have a specialty roof, let us know and we will confirm our capability in your area.

Are your roofing services available in my city?

We currently serve homeowners across Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio), the Midwest (Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbus), the South (Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte), and the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Central Oregon). Contact us to confirm availability in your specific area.

How much does a roof replacement cost?

The national average for a residential roof replacement ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the size of your roof, the materials used, and your region. When your claim is approved, your insurance company pays the replacement cost value minus your deductible. In most storm damage cases, your only out-of-pocket expense is your deductible.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes. All of our roof replacements come with the manufacturer's product warranty on materials (typically 25–50 years depending on the shingle line) plus our workmanship warranty. Warranty terms vary by market — ask your local representative for specific details.

Can you repair hail damage on my roof?

Yes. Hail damage is one of the most common types of storm damage we assess and repair. Hail can fracture asphalt shingles, crack tile, dent metal, and compromise the waterproof membrane — damage that may not be visible from the ground but can lead to leaks and structural issues over time.

Is your team licensed and insured?

Yes. FreeRoofPros only works with licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractors in each market we serve. We carry full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We are happy to provide proof of insurance and licensing upon request.

Do you offer emergency roof repair services?

Yes. If your roof is actively leaking or has suffered significant structural damage from a storm, contact us immediately. We offer emergency tarping and temporary repairs to prevent further water intrusion while your insurance claim is being processed.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

In most cases, yes — if the damage was caused by a covered peril such as hail, wind, or a fallen tree. Standard homeowners policies (HO-3) typically cover sudden storm damage. However, damage from neglect or normal wear and tear is generally not covered. The type of coverage you have (replacement cost value vs. actual cash value) also determines how much your insurer will pay.

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Signs of hail or wind damage include missing, cracked, or curling shingles; dented gutters and downspouts; granules accumulating in your gutters or on the ground; dents on metal vents, flashing, or your AC condenser unit; and visible bruising or fractures on shingles. Because some damage is only visible from the roof itself, we always recommend a professional inspection after any significant storm.

How long do I have to file a roof insurance claim after a storm?

Every state and insurance policy has different deadlines. Most policies require you to file within 1–2 years of the storm event, but some states like Tennessee enforce a strict 1-year deadline. Oregon has a 2-year window. We strongly recommend filing as soon as possible — delays can result in denied claims.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value for roofs?

Replacement Cost Value (RCV) pays to replace your roof at today's prices with a comparable new roof. Actual Cash Value (ACV) pays the depreciated value of your old roof — meaning an older roof may only receive a fraction of the replacement cost. RCV policies typically result in a higher payout. Check your declarations page to see which coverage type you have.

What happens if my roof insurance claim is denied?

A denied claim is not necessarily final. You have the right to appeal the decision by requesting a re-inspection, providing additional documentation, or hiring a licensed public adjuster. We can help you understand the denial reason and determine whether an appeal is likely to succeed.

Can I choose my own roofing contractor for an insurance claim?

Absolutely. You are not required to use a contractor recommended or preferred by your insurance company. You have the legal right to select any licensed, insured contractor you choose. We work with your insurer directly on pricing and scope to make the process seamless.

How much does a free roof inspection cost and what does it include?

Our roof inspection is 100% free and carries no obligation. It includes a thorough visual inspection of all roof surfaces, flashings, gutters, vents, and the attic if accessible. We document all findings with photos, provide you with a written report, and advise you on whether the damage is likely to meet your insurance policy's threshold for a claim.

What is the best roofing material for storm-prone areas?

For hail-prone regions, Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles are the gold standard — they can also earn you a premium discount from your insurer. Standing seam metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance. For high-wind areas, metal or properly sealed architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph winds are recommended.

Kansas City Hail Damage: MO vs. KS Insurance Rules and What the 2024 Gorilla Hail Means for Your Claim

Name: Free Roof Pros
Telephone: 541-337-5734
Price range: $$$
Rating: 4.9

Most cities have one set of insurance rules. Kansas City has two.

If your home sits in Overland Park, Lenexa, or Shawnee, you're in Kansas. If you live in Lee's Summit, Liberty, or Independence, you're in Missouri. These are different legal frameworks for how your insurance claim works.

The 2024 "Gorilla Hail" Event: What Happened and Why It Still Matters

On March 12–13, 2024, a storm carrying "gorilla hail" swept through the Kansas City region. Near Alma, Kansas, hailstones reached 4 inches in diameter (softball-sized). HailTrace data shows more than 46,401 properties were impacted by 1-inch-or-larger hail.

On May 19, 2025, another severe system moved through with hail up to 2.5 inches near Carney, 1.8-inch ping-pong-sized hail in Lenexa, and 70 to 80 mph wind gusts.

Missouri Side: What You Need to Know

Missouri's Matching Law

Missouri courts have established a judicially recognized matching requirement under the Alessi v. Mid-Century Insurance Company decision. If hail damages part of your roof or siding and matching replacement materials are no longer available, your insurer may be required to replace the entire affected surface, per Property Insurance Coverage Law Blog.

Kansas Side: Different Rules Apply

Kansas Insurers Must Acknowledge Within 10 Days

State regulations require your insurer to acknowledge your claim within 10 days of notification, per ClaimSpot's Kansas insurance guide. Once you submit a completed proof of loss, the insurer must accept or deny within 15 working days.

No Matching Statute in Kansas

Kansas does not have a codified or judicially established matching requirement. Homeowners on the Kansas side are more dependent on their specific policy language.

The Cross-Border Problem: Which Rules Apply to You?

Your home's physical location determines which state's insurance law applies to your policy.

Location	State Law	Matching Law?	Insurer Acknowledgment Rule
Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee	Kansas	No	10 days to acknowledge
Kansas City MO, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Independence	Missouri	Yes (Alessi case)	No specific deadline
Raytown, Blue Springs	Missouri	Yes	No specific deadline
