Question 1

What is an insurance claim for roof damage?

Accepted Answer

An insurance claim is a formal request you submit to your homeowner’s insurance after your roof experiences damage (like from a storm, wind, hail, or fallen debris) so your insurer can pay for repairs or replacement according to your policy.

Question 4

What kind of roof damage is covered by insurance?

	•	Detailed inspection and photos
	•	Date and cause of damage
	•	Copy of your insurance policyFrontline Roofing takes care of all documentation for you.

Question 6

Do you need three estimates to file a claim?

Accepted Answer

No, most insurers only require one professional, local contractor’s estimate. We provide this as part of our service.

Question 7

Will filing a claim raise my premiums?

Accepted Answer

Generally, premiums only increase for all homeowners after major storms in your ZIP code—not for filing an individual claim. Rates may change whether you file or not, so don’t leave repairs undone.

Question 8

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

A roof claim usually takes 2–6 weeks, depending on insurance response times, complexity, and extent of damage. We act fast so you aren’t left waiting.

Question 9

Can I choose my own contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You have full legal right to choose your preferred, local contractor for all repairs. We recommend trusted, local, veteran-owned companies whenever possible.

Question 10

What if I need emergency repairs before my claim is finished?

Accepted Answer

We’ll secure your roof to prevent further damage (tarps, timely repairs) and make sure emergency work is fully documented for your insurance claim.

Question 11

What is RCV vs ACV coverage?

Accepted Answer

RCV (Replacement Cost Value): Pays full, current cost to replace your roof.
ACV (Actual Cash Value): Pays for repair minus depreciation

Question 12

How much does roof repair cost in South Mississippi?

Accepted Answer

Roof repair costs in South Mississippi typically range from $200 to $1,550 depending on the type and extent of damage. Minor repairs like replacing a few damaged shingles cost $147-$200 per hour, while addressing small leaks averages $360-$1,550. Flashing repairs range from $200-$500, and emergency repairs following storms may cost more due to urgency and temporary protective measures. The subtropical climate and frequent severe weather in Pearl River County, Forrest County, and coastal areas mean roofs face unique challenges that can accelerate damage if not addressed promptly.

Question 13

What’s the difference between roof repair and roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Roof repair addresses specific problems like damaged shingles, localized leaks, or flashing issues while preserving the existing roof system. Repair is the right choice when damage is isolated, your roof is less than 15-20 years old, and the overall structure remains sound. Roof replacement involves removing the entire old roof and installing a completely new system—necessary when damage is widespread, your roof has reached the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles in Mississippi’s climate), or when multiple repairs would cost more than replacement. Signs you need replacement rather than repair include sagging areas, widespread water damage, extensive missing shingles across multiple roof sections, or visible daylight through your attic roof boards. Our team provides honest assessments in picayune, poplarville, gulfport, hattiesburg, wiggins and greater surrounding area—we’ll never recommend replacement if repair will adequately protect your home.

Question 14

Do you repair all types of roofing materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Frontline Roofing repairs all major roofing systems common in South Mississippi, including asphalt shingles (3-tab and architectural), metal roofing, TPO flat roofs, tile roofing, and specialized commercial systems.

Question 15

What roof problems can I identify myself before calling a roofer?

Accepted Answer

South Mississippi homeowners should watch for these visible warning signs that indicate needed repairs: missing, curling, or damaged shingles (especially after storms), granule loss creating bare spots on shingles, dark streaks or stains indicating algae growth or water damage, sagging areas suggesting structural issues, daylight visible through attic roof boards, water stains on interior ceilings or walls, and increased energy bills from poor insulation or ventilation. After severe weather, inspect for dented or bruised shingles from hail, torn or lifted shingles from high winds, and debris accumulation in valleys and gutters. Inside your home, check attics for moisture, mold, or musty odors that signal hidden leaks. However, many serious issues—like subtle storm damage qualifying for insurance claims or deteriorating flashing—require professional inspection to identify properly. That’s why we offer free inspections with detailed photo documentation to catch problems you might miss.

Question 16

What’s included in your roof repair warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every roof repair completed by Frontline Roofing includes our 5-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality and labor, plus manufacturer warranties on all materials used. We also provide a no-leak guarantee on all repairs and roof replacements—if the repaired area develops leaks related to our work, we’ll fix it at no additional cost within the warranty period. As a GAF-sponsored contractor, repairs using GAF materials come with additional manufacturer protection that can extend coverage significantly. Our warranties are only valid when repairs are completed to manufacturer specifications, which is why we never cut corners or use substandard materials. All warranty details are provided in writing at project completion, and we maintain detailed records of every repair for future reference. This comprehensive warranty protection gives South Mississippi homeowners peace of mind knowing their investment is protected by both our veteran-owned company’s reputation and industry-leading manufacturer support.
