He has pictures of roof damage, I would not take the tarp off, i would use his pictures and show all the nails in the tarp and buy the roof

Another idea is to put tarp down in attic under shingles. And have a bucket on standby if leaking does occur.

It's at the top of the ridge, so not much rain will hit that spot compared to a spot lower down the roof. That's where all the runoff occurs.

Like others have said, Congrats on the new roof!

That roof lifted even where the shingles are still in place so there certainly shouldn’t be anything other than 100% replacement. Most insurance companies are doing complete replacement especially after a recorded weather event like that.

Call Joey Crawford. 1-318-355-2373

If he’s not doing shingles he will know good ones to contact. He’s a good roofer.

FYI - your agent doesn’t make that decision but if you can get him to put that in writing and then sign a contract with a roofing contractor there is no insurer stupid enough to not agree on total replacement since you now have an estoppel argument on top of a wind-damaged roof.
