How often should I have my roof inspected?
After every hail or wind storm. Lifetime Construction Builders inspects free for every caller, so a check after each storm costs you nothing.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
Have the roof looked at first. The Arkansas Insurance Department advises a roofer's inspection and weighing the repair cost against your deductible. Lifetime Construction Builders gives you photos and a written estimate free, so you can decide before you file.
Will my insurance pay for roof damage?
Your insurer decides, not the roofer. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with your insurance claim at no extra cost and gives your adjuster our photos and estimate. Arkansas allows a separate wind and hail deductible (Bulletin 17-2023), so check your policy.
Is there a deadline to file a hail or wind claim?
Yes. Under Arkansas Insurance Department Bulletin 19-2020, insurers must allow 365 days from when you found, or should have found, the damage. Lifetime Construction Builders inspects free, so you can know what you have well inside that window.
Does small hail damage a roof?
Yes, it can. A 2025 IBHS study found hail under 1 inch knocks granules off shingles. Weathered shingles hit by small hail were then about ten times more likely to be damaged by later severe hail. Lifetime Construction Builders checks for it free.
How do I check that a roofer is licensed in Arkansas?
Ask for the Residential Roofing Registration number. Arkansas has required one of roofing contractors doing residential jobs over $2,000 since January 1, 2022. Lifetime Construction Builders' number is RR0540591024, and we carry $1M general liability and $2M workers' comp.
Do you offer a military discount?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders gives veterans a 5% military discount on roofing work. The inspection and written estimate stay free for everyone.
