Assessed Fast. Documented For Your Adjuster.
Wind and hail damage inspected free, photographed properly and repaired right, with your insurance claim supported from day one.
Metro Atlanta's storm season is not gentle. Spring hail, straight-line winds and the occasional leftover tropical system all take shots at Cobb County roofs between March and September. The damage they leave is often invisible from the street and very visible to the next heavy rain.
Shelter Guard Roofing handles storm damage from first look to final shingle. Free inspection, dated photo documentation, emergency tarping when it can't wait, and a repair or replacement scope your insurance adjuster can actually work with. Per the National Weather Service office covering north Georgia, severe thunderstorm activity here peaks in spring, which is exactly when claim windows start ticking.
After any hail or high-wind event, look for these from the ground, then let us confirm from the roof.
We photograph and date every hail strike and wind lift, on the roof and in the attic.
You call your insurer with our documentation in hand. Filing is always your decision.
We meet your adjuster on the roof and walk the damage together so nothing gets left out of the scope.
Work gets done to the approved scope, photo-documented start to finish.
Marietta sits in the metro hail corridor, and East Cobb's tree canopy adds a second threat: wind-thrown limbs that puncture roofs without any hail at all. Homes on wooded lots near Sope Creek see limb strikes every storm season. Open subdivisions toward Kennesaw take hail with nothing to slow it down.
If the damage needs immediate cover, we tarp first and handle paperwork second. A tarped roof stops the damage clock while the claim moves. For a step-by-step homeowner walkthrough, read our guide to filing a roof insurance claim.
Storm season brings out-of-state crews that chase hail maps, knock doors, collect deposits and vanish. We're the opposite of that: a veteran-owned, BBB A+ accredited Marietta based roofing team at a physical office on Johnson Ferry Road, with 301 Google reviews and every job photographed. After the storm crews leave town, we're still here, which matters when a warranty question comes up in year three. Start with a free inspection after any storm, even if you think you got lucky.
When a limb goes through the roof or a storm strips a slope, the schedule flips: cover first, paperwork second. We tarp exposed sections properly, fastened and weighted, not a blue sheet held down by bricks, so the interior damage stops growing while the claim moves. Insurers expect you to prevent further damage after a loss, and a documented emergency tarp does exactly that while proving the timeline.
On deductibles, one straight warning: any contractor offering to "cover" or "waive" your deductible is proposing insurance fraud with your name on the claim. Georgia insurers know the scheme and it burns homeowners, not the crews that vanish after the check clears. Your deductible is real. Financing can spread it out. Our storm quotes match the approved scope, and what we bill is what the work costs.
Storm work also runs on the same photo standard as everything else we do. Adjusters get organized damage documentation, you get progress photos as the work happens, and the final set closes the claim file cleanly. When the insurer's software asks for proof, proof already exists.
You usually can't tell from the ground. Hail bruises shingles and knocks granules loose in a pattern that's obvious up close and invisible from the driveway. If hail hit your neighborhood, get a free inspection with photos. It costs nothing and it dates the damage.
Yes. We walk the roof with your adjuster, point out every strike and lift we documented, and make sure nothing gets missed. Homeowners who have a roofer at the adjuster meeting consistently get more complete scopes.
Weather claims are treated differently than at-fault claims, and a single storm claim rarely moves your rate the way people fear. Your policy and insurer control the specifics, so we document everything and you decide whether to file.
