Storm Damage Calls Are Going to Roofers with Websites
After every hailstorm, straight-line wind, or tornado warning, Louisville homeowners grab their phones and search for help. If your roofing company does not show up with a professional site, those insurance claims go to someone else.
What Happens After the Storm Matters More Than the Storm Itself
A big storm rolls through Louisville and suddenly thousands of homeowners need a roofer. Most of them have never hired one before. They have no idea how insurance claims work, what a fair price looks like, or how to tell a legitimate contractor from a storm chaser who will be gone by next month.
That is where your website comes in. It is the first thing they see, and it needs to answer their real questions: Are you licensed? Do you help with insurance? Have you done this kind of work before? Can I see proof? Research shows homeowners prioritize five factors when choosing a roofer: experience and reputation, licensing and insurance, transparent pricing, local knowledge, and quality of past work.
Kentucky has no state-level roofing license (licensing is handled by Louisville Metro Codes & Regulations), but the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA) offers a voluntary "Certified Roofing Contractor" credential that signals credibility to homeowners. Your website should make these trust signals impossible to miss.
Your Website Should Walk Homeowners Through the Insurance Process
Most homeowners have never filed a roof damage claim. Your website can be the guide they need.
Step 1: Document the Damage
Show homeowners you start with a free inspection and thorough documentation. Photos, measurements, and a written report they can hand to their insurance adjuster.
Step 2: File the Claim
Explain how you help homeowners navigate the claims process. Most have never done this before, and knowing you will be there through each step builds enormous trust.
Step 3: Get the Work Done
Show the timeline from approval to completion. Homeowners want to know how long they will be living under a tarp. A clear process page sets you apart from storm chasers who disappear after the deposit.
Before/After Photos Close More Jobs Than Any Sales Pitch
Roofing is one of the few trades where the finished product is visible from the street. A new roof transforms the entire look of a home, and homeowners want to see that transformation before they commit.
Your website needs a dedicated gallery showing your best work. Not just the roof itself - the whole house, from the curb. Drone shots are even better. I build every roofing site with a gallery that is easy for you to update as you finish new projects.
Just text me your project photos. I handle the rest.
What Your Gallery Should Include
- Full-house exterior shots (before and after)
- Close-up detail of materials and craftsmanship
- Storm damage documentation
- Drone or aerial views of completed work
- Different materials (shingle, metal, flat)
- Commercial and residential projects

View Roofing ExampleWhat Roofers Say After Going Live
"After the derecho in 2023, we were swamped with calls but losing half of them because our old site looked like it was from 2010. The new site has our insurance claims process right on the homepage and honestly that alone has changed how people talk to us when they call."
Roofing company owner, Louisville KY
"The before/after gallery is what sells it. People can see we actually do good work instead of just saying we do. We had a customer last week tell us she picked us over two other companies specifically because of the photos on our site."
Roofing contractor, Elizabethtown KY
"I was getting undercut by storm chasers from out of state every spring. The new site shows our KRCA certification, our Louisville roots, and 15 years of local work. Customers tell us that is why they went with us instead of the cheaper bid."

Questions Roofers Ask
How much does a roofing website cost?
I offer three plans. Starter is $150/month (plus a one-time setup from $950) and includes a complete, custom-designed site with hosting, updates, security, and support. Pro is $275/month (setup from $950) and adds ongoing SEO. Website Rescue starts at $150 for a diagnostic. No hidden fees.
What should a roofing website include?
Your services (shingle, metal, flat, storm damage), before/after photo galleries, free inspection offer, insurance claim assistance info, service area with neighborhoods, customer testimonials, and easy contact options.
Will this help me get more leads after storms?
Absolutely. Storm season drives massive spikes in roofing searches. The roofers with professional websites showing up in those searches get the calls. Those without websites miss the entire opportunity. Read why contractors need websites.
Can you help me showcase before/after photos?
Yes. Before/after galleries are one of the most effective ways to sell roofing work. Just send me your project photos (even phone photos work), and I'll create professional galleries that showcase your quality.
How long until my website is live?
Most roofing websites are live within 1-2 weeks. You send me your info, I build it, you review it, we make tweaks, and you're online. Need it before storm season? If you're on a tight deadline, ask me about rush options.
Do you include insurance claim information?
Yes. A dedicated section explaining how you help homeowners with insurance claims can be a major differentiator. Many homeowners don't understand the process, and showing you can guide them builds trust.
Should I display my KRCA certification or Louisville license on my website?
Absolutely. Since Kentucky has no state-level roofing license, local credentials matter even more. If you're KRCA certified or licensed through Louisville Metro, I'll display those prominently. Research shows licensing and insurance verification is one of the top 5 factors homeowners consider before hiring.
What makes homeowners choose one roofer over another?
Industry research identifies five decision factors: experience and reputation, licensing and insurance, transparent pricing, local knowledge, and quality of past work. Your website needs to address all five. That's why I include project galleries, service area maps, clear pricing info, and credential displays so homeowners see you've checked every box before they even call.
