Here’s how to temporarily fix your leaking roof after a storm:

1. Find the leak’s location.

2. Cover up the faulty location with a tarp that projects 4 feet wide in all directions around the leak.

3. Secure the tarp down with some heavy objects like sandbags or bricks.

4. After 5-10 minutes, check if your roof is still leaking.

5. Call a trusted Georgia roofing contractor as soon as possible to avoid any further damages.

Asphalt shingles are by far the most popular roof type in Georgia.

There are four different types of asphalt shingles that you can choose from and are known as three-tab shingles, architectural shingles, upgraded architectural shingles, and designer roof shingles.

Each of these shingles performs a different function depending on what look or purpose you may want your roof to serve. You can find your favorite shingle type in our article "All about Asphalt Shingles."

Insurance in Georgia covers roof storm damage in most cases. Essentially, anything that is seen as out of your control will likely be covered by insurance.

The cases most commonly covered by insurance include damage due to:

• Fires
• Wind damage
• Storms, hurricanes, or tornadoes
• Vandalism
• Falling objects, tree limbs, or hail
• Damage from wind-driven rain

• Low monthly payments. This allows you to make smaller payments you can handle over time rather than a large lump sum that might drain your available savings all at once. Depending on your payment terms and credit history, you may also be able to benefit from low-interest rates during the life of the loan.

• Defer an upfront payment without interest. This gives you the option to delay a lump sum payment while still avoiding interest. These are loans with 0% financing up-front with no prepayment penalties. However, the loan should be paid off during a certain time period.

• Delay payments. Some loans will allow you to put off payments for a set period. But once the time is up, you’ll start making regular payments with an interest rate. This option comes in handy if you don't have the cash but need to take care of a roofing project as soon as possible for safety concerns.

• Quick approval process. When you apply for roof financing, the process can be easy and seamless thanks to modern technology. You can apply online, through mobile apps, or call in. This completely takes away paperwork, but you have to provide an electronic signature. Once your information is reviewed, you'll get the approval notices within minutes.
