Frequently Asked Questions
Johannesburg roofers provide new roof installations, roof repairs and maintenance, roof inspections, waterproofing, insulation installation, gutter replacement, and fascia board repairs. Hail damage repair is a major speciality in Gauteng — after a severe storm, demand for roofers spikes dramatically, so having a trusted contractor on call is invaluable. Roof inspections (R1,000–R1,800) are recommended annually and after every major hailstorm. Many Johannesburg roofers also handle insurance claim documentation, liaising directly with your insurer's assessor to streamline the repair process. On Completo, roofers are verified and your payment is protected in escrow until the repair or installation passes your inspection.
After a hailstorm, document the damage immediately with photographs and contact your insurer within 48 hours. Most insurance policies cover hail damage to roofs, but you will need a professional roof inspection report to support your claim. A qualified Johannesburg roofer can provide a detailed assessment and quotation that meets insurer requirements. The insurer will send an assessor to verify the damage — having your roofer present during this visit helps ensure nothing is missed. Be aware that some policies have a hail-specific excess of R5,000–R15,000. Once approved, the insurer either pays the roofer directly or reimburses you. Completo's escrow system adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring the roofer only receives payment once the repairs are completed to standard.
