Every few years Franklin County PA will have a storm that causes hail or wind damage to homes. The damage can be minor to a small area of the roof just in need of a repair. Sometimes the damage is so severe it covers a large or whole roof and will need removed and replaced. We encourage customer to be caution during this time as you may have door to door sales representative from a new roofing company. In the industry these are often called “storm chasers”. They will often try to oversell the amount of damage and promise for the insurance to pay for the damages. These company’s often have been in business for a short period of time causing issues if they replace your roof and you later have an issue and they are now out of business.

We recommend homeowners to have a local trusted company to help them ethically navigate the process. Customer’s may hire SERVPRO of Chambersburg to be the expert to help coordinate the insurance and contractors needed for repairs. SERVPRO of Chambersburg has been trusted by many insurance companies to perform their inspection during difficult times like the COVID-19 shutdowns where insurance adjuster are limited to the kind of visit they can conduct to be essential.
