Look your address up on the live storm map on this page. It plots every verified NOAA hail and wind report within 50 miles of Buford, with dates, and it is free. Verified means a person on the ground measured or observed it, not that a radar model guessed at it.

Your policy, not Georgia law, sets the deadline. Most homeowners policies require prompt notice of a loss and many put an outside limit on it, so read your own policy or call your agent and ask what yours says. Do not take a deadline from somebody knocking on your door.

Hail and wind are covered perils on most Georgia homeowners policies, so storm damage is often covered where ordinary wear and tear is not. Whether yours pays comes down to your policy language, your deductible, and how well the damage is documented. We photograph everything and meet your adjuster on the roof.

On an approved claim your out-of-pocket is usually your deductible, and many Georgia policies apply a separate, higher wind and hail deductible, so check that number before you assume. If it is not a claim, we quote the repair in writing after the inspection, itemized. Three things move the price: the size and pitch of the roof, how much decking is wet, and whether water got inside.

Yes. Emergency tarping and board-up are part of what we do, and storm emergencies are answered 24/7 on (770) 381-8081. Call before you climb anything, because a wet roof after a storm is the most dangerous place on your property.

Yes, and this is the part most roofers hand off to somebody else. Bailey does roofing and restoration, so the same company dries the structure, replaces drywall and insulation, repaints and puts the flooring back — one file, one person to call, instead of two contractors pointing at each other.

Not that day. Check your address on the storm map yourself first, then get an inspection from a company with a local address you can drive to. Anyone asking you to sign a contract or an assignment of benefits on your porch before an adjuster has seen the roof is protecting their pipeline, not your claim.

Sometimes it is not, and we will tell you so. If the damage is isolated and the repair lands anywhere near your wind and hail deductible, filing can cost you more over time than simply paying for the repair. You get the honest math at the inspection rather than a push toward a claim.
