  • We can meet your adjuster on site
  • Written workmanship guarantee
  • Manufacturer-specified installation
  • Licensed & insured in Alabama

After the storm

What to do in the first 72 hours

Start inside. Look for fresh ceiling stains, damp insulation in the attic, and water around light fixtures. Outside, look for shingle pieces in the yard, dents in gutters, downspouts and soft metal like vent caps, and granules washed into the gutter troughs. Photograph everything with the date.

Then get a documented roof inspection before you call your carrier. Knowing whether the damage is real and how widespread it is puts you in a far better position than filing blind. And if there is no meaningful damage, you have avoided an unnecessary claim on your record.

We do not promise claim outcomes. What we do is document the roof thoroughly, explain what we found in writing, meet your adjuster on site if you want us there, and repair or replace the roof properly once coverage is settled.

What we do

How we help after a storm

Emergency tarping

If water is actively entering, we can secure the roof to limit interior damage while the claim proceeds.

Damage documentation

Photos of every slope, dated, and mapped, including soft-metal indicators that establish a hail event.

Adjuster meetings

We can be on the roof with your adjuster so what we found is reviewed in person rather than debated by email.

Wind damage repair

Lifted, creased, and missing shingles repaired, plus re-sealing of the surrounding courses.

Full storm replacement

When damage is widespread, a complete replacement with all the deck and ventilation corrections that come with it.

Warranty-grade rebuild

Storm work is installed to manufacturer specification and carries the same written workmanship guarantee.

Our process

Storm response, step by step

  1. 01

    Emergency stabilization

    If water is coming in, we tarp first so interior damage stops growing.

  2. 02

    Documented inspection

    Every slope photographed with soft-metal and shingle indicators recorded and dated.

  3. 03

    Claim support

    We hand you the documentation and can meet the adjuster on site. Coverage decisions rest with your carrier.

  4. 04

    Repair or replacement

    Once scope is settled, we build the roof back to manufacturer specification and register the warranty.

Why Cooper

A local company, not a storm-chaser

We were here before the storm

Cooper has worked North Alabama roofs since 1963. We are not a crew that follows hail across state lines.

We will be here after

Warranty questions two years from now reach the same family company at the same local number.

Honest findings

If your roof was not damaged, we say so. Filing a claim with no real damage helps nobody.
