Home Restoration Projects We Take On
Storm Damage Restoration
Hail bruises, wind-lifted shingles, and impact punctures get mapped slope by slope before anything is torn off. State records show 6,378 hail events between 1955 and 2024, with May the peak month, so damage patterns here are well documented and repeatable.
Roof and Exterior Restoration
Rebuilding starts at the top, since IRC R908.3 bars a new covering over two or more existing layers and decking has to be sound first. Underlayment, flashing, and ridge ventilation are reset to code before finish materials go back on.
Siding and Trim Repairs
Wind-driven rain reaches sheathing through cracked panels, loose J-channel, and split trim boards, then works into wall framing. Vinyl siding is rated near 110 mph on premium products and fiber cement to 150 mph, so replacements follow the exposure each wall faces.
Fence and Deck Restoration
Posts snapped at grade and rails torn loose get reset with 811 locates called at least 2 full working days ahead. Guardrails on decks more than 30 inches above grade go back at the 36-inch minimum height IRC R312 requires.
Gutter System Restoration
Water overshooting a dented trough finds the foundation instead of the downspout. A 5-inch K-style gutter drains up to 5,500 square feet and a 6-inch reaches 7,960, so sizing gets rechecked against actual roof area, and 6-inch runs pair with 3x4 downspouts.
Insurance Restoration Projects
Carriers must acknowledge a claim within 15 working days and pay within 30 calendar days of proof of loss under 806 KAR 12:095. We document scope, supplements, and matching in writing, then keep pressing when a claim comes back denied.
Why Choose Us for Home Restoration
The Whole Rebuild Under One Contract
Roof, siding, gutters, fence, and deck all sit under the same contract, so nobody argues over where one trade ends. Handoffs between subcontractors are where restoration schedules break down, and removing them keeps your rebuild moving in a single sequence.
Damage Found Before It Spreads
Hidden problems surface during inspection instead of after the final invoice. Lifted flashing, soft decking, and compromised fasteners get photographed and priced up front, which spares you a repeat project next season on work you thought was already finished.
Your Claim Backed by Documentation
Your carrier gets a documented scope rather than a guess, with photos, measurements, and code references attached. State rules give you a reply within 15 working days, and a denial is a starting point we are used to working through.
Repairs That Blend Into the House
Matching matters, and state advisory guidance from 2023 treats the entire roof as the area rather than applying a line-of-sight rule. That reading helps you avoid a patched slope or a siding wall that reads as obviously newer than everything around it.
Warranty Protection That Sticks Around
Coverage follows the work home long after the last truck leaves. Asphalt shingle roofing carries a lifetime warranty on materials and labor, and metal options can hold up to a 40-year paint warranty depending on the panel selected.
A Schedule You Can Plan Around
Sequencing is shared before demolition begins, so you know which week brings tear-off, which brings siding, and when fencing returns. A published sequence lets you arrange deliveries, pets, and parking instead of guessing from one day to the next.
One Contractor From Tarp to Final Walkthrough
Getting a house back to the point where nobody driving past can tell anything happened is the real measure here, and that takes the same hands on the roof, the siding, the gutters, and the fence line. Alliance Roof and Fence works that way across Hopkinsville, KY, keeping a single scope, one schedule, and one photo record from stabilization through your sign-off. Nothing here has to move faster than you want it to. Review the damage at your own pace, talk with your carrier, and reach out when you want an experienced set of eyes. Send us a message through our contact page and we will set up your free estimate.
frequently asked questions
What should I do first after a storm damages my home?
Document everything before touching anything: photos of each elevation, the roof from ground level, and any debris. Then call your insurer to open a claim and get temporary tarping in place so the opening stops taking on more weather.
What is the difference between a repair and a full restoration?
A repair addresses a defined area, while a restoration returns the whole assembly to its pre-storm condition, including decking, underlayment, flashing, and matching finishes. Scattered hail bruising across every slope usually pushes a job from the first category into the second.
How long does storm restoration take?
Most restorations run a few weeks once materials arrive, with roofing measured in days and siding, gutters, fencing, and decking following behind. Alliance Roof and Fence schedules each phase in Hopkinsville, KY around insurance approvals, supplier lead times, and open weather.
Can I stay in my home during restoration?
Yes, in almost every case, because this work happens on the outside of the structure and the interior stays usable throughout. Expect noise during tear-off, equipment in the driveway, and a request to keep vehicles and pets clear of work zones.
How do I know if there is hidden damage behind my siding?
Look for panels that rattle in wind, nail heads backing out, and gaps at J-channel or corner posts, which all signal fasteners that let go. Confirmation comes from pulling a panel or two and checking the sheathing and housewrap underneath.
What order should exterior repairs be done in after storm damage?
Roofing goes first, then siding and trim, then gutters, and finally fencing and decking at ground level. Working top down keeps finished surfaces from being damaged twice and lets each layer be flashed correctly into the one installed before it.
Why is it risky to delay storm damage repairs?
Small openings widen with every rain, and Hopkinsville, KY averages 51.07 inches of precipitation across about 119 wet days a year. Alliance Roof and Fence also sees claims weaken over time, since carriers question whether later deterioration came from the original event.
Will my restored roof and siding match the rest of the house?
Close matching is realistic, since manufacturers keep color lines running for years and remaining panels can be blended from less visible elevations. Where a discontinued product makes an exact match impossible, replacing an entire plane or wall keeps the result visually consistent.
