State Farm Does a Great Job of Funding a Storm Damaged Roof In Cosby TN

The customer experienced damage to the roof after a chimney was blown off the house. The Insurance company paid for the chimney damages, and the chimney was in the process of being rebuilt when we met this homeowner.

Shingles were not matching at the chimney where we are replacing the old shingles. The homeowner had decided to see if the insurance company would pay for replacing the roof. It is where Litespeed Construction came in. Litespeed built an insurance-ready scope, which the owner turned into the claim handler, and State Farm decided to pay for the entire roof.

We added back some new siding and used ice and water for the entire roof because most of the roof was 3:12, which is marginal for fel   Litespeed Construction used membrane roofing to cover a lower slope section of this home around a 1:12 roof slope.

    This roof has a lot of low-slope sections.  The low slope or flat roofing sections need membrane roofs, not shingles.  Shingles will leak here.

              Ice and water throughout

              Due to random leaking throughout the roof we decided to add ice and water shield to the entire roof as a secondary layer of protection. This put our customers mind at ease!
