Roofing Contractor

& Storm Damage
Roofing for Cheat Lake homes from a locally owned, TAMKO certified team. Free inspections, written estimates, and hands-on help with insurance claims when a storm is involved.
Cheat Lake Roofs Take a Different Kind of Beating
Lakeside living is beautiful. It is also hard on roofs. Cheat Lake homes sit in a pocket of humidity that never fully dries out between seasons. Wooded lots mean overhanging branches, constant debris accumulation, and moss that takes hold faster than it does in open neighborhoods. Homes on the ridges above the water get full wind exposure every time a front comes through. And the same freeze-thaw cycles that crack flashing on every WV roof hit harder when you’re close to water.
Eclipse Construction has worked on Cheat Lake homes from The Bluffs to Cheat Landing to the waterfront properties along Old Mill Road. We know the roof profiles out here. We know which subdivisions were built in the 1990s and 2000s and are now hitting replacement age. We know the HOA communities and what material options are typically approved. And we know how to work on steep-pitch and complex-line roofs that are common on the higher-end homes in this area.
If your roof is aging, leaking, or showing storm damage, you’re going to hear from a lot of contractors. Some are good. Some rolled in after the last wind event and won’t be here next spring. We’re the ones still here. TAMKO certified. WV licensed. Free inspections. And if a repair will hold, we’ll tell you straight. We’re not going to talk you into a roof you don’t need.

Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing around chimneys and skylights, soft spots, moss and debris damage, valley failures. Cheat Lake roofs face moisture from two directions: weather above and humidity off the water below. We find the actual source of the problem, document it with photos, and give you a straight answer. If a repair will hold, we’ll tell you. If it won’t, we’ll show you exactly why before we recommend anything else.
- Leak detection with photo documentation of the source
- Flashing repair and replacement around chimneys, vents, and skylights
- Moss, lichen, and debris damage assessment and remediation
- Honest answer on repair vs. replace, based on what we actually find

Hail, wind, and tree impact are all common in the Cheat Lake area. Wooded lots mean branches come down. Ridge homes take the full force of wind events. Storm damage gets worse fast when water gets in. We respond quickly, tarp what needs tarping, document everything with detailed photos and measurements, and build the damage report your adjuster actually needs. Storm chasers roll through after every big event. We’re the ones still here when it matters.
- Fast response with same-week availability after storm events
- Emergency tarping and stabilization to prevent water intrusion
- Complete photo and written documentation for insurance claims
- We work with your adjuster so you’re not navigating it alone

Standing seam metal is a strong fit for Cheat Lake homes. It sheds ice and snow cleanly, handles the freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt flashing every winter, resists the moisture and algae that lakeside humidity accelerates, and reflects summer heat instead of absorbing it. For homeowners who plan to stay long-term, the math usually works in metal’s favor. Higher upfront cost, significantly lower lifetime cost. We’ll walk you through the numbers so you can decide.
- Standing seam metal with a 40 to 70 year lifespan in WV conditions
- Resists moisture, algae, and moss better than asphalt in lakeside environments
- Superior performance against ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles
- Available on residential and light commercial properties
Why Cheat Lake Homeowners Call Eclipse First
Cheat Lake is a short drive from our Morgantown base, and we’re out there most weeks. Our kids go to school in Mon County. If something comes up with a roof we installed, you call the same local team, not an out-of-state crew that followed the last windstorm into town.
TAMKO certification has to be earned through installation standards and ongoing training. On a lakefront or ridge home, that translates to longer material coverage, a separate workmanship warranty from us, and a manufacturer that stands behind an install it knows was done right.
When wind or hail hits the ridges above the lake, we document the damage in the detail an adjuster expects: photos, measurements, and a clear written report. Complete documentation is often the difference between an approved claim and a denial.
We photograph every concern, write down what we find, and tell you plainly whether the roof needs work. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so. Expect about 30 minutes on site and written findings the same day.
$0 down financing with quick approval means a failing roof can be fixed now, not after you’ve saved up. We’ll go through the payment options alongside your estimate.
Calls go to Brandon, Chris, Tony, and Garrett, the Morgantown team that handles Cheat Lake jobs. No call center, no hand-offs. You talk to the people responsible for the work.

Schedule a Free InspectionStorm Damage? We Handle the Insurance Paperwork
Storm claims on higher-value lake homes can get complicated fast. The adjuster’s language is technical, carriers push back, and some contractors either avoid claims entirely or steer homeowners into choices that hurt the claim.
We handle the part that decides most claims: evidence. We inspect, photograph, and measure the damage, prepare a damage report your adjuster can work from, and keep you informed at every step. We’re not attorneys and don’t negotiate on your behalf. We make sure your documentation is complete.
We’ve worked with Cheat Lake homeowners after wind events, hail, and tree impact from the wooded lots throughout the area. The ridge homes above the lake take the worst of it when a front comes through. We respond fast, document everything, and make sure you’re not left holding the bag because the paperwork wasn’t done right.
- Full roof inspection with photo documentation
- Detailed damage measurements and written report
- Professional damage report for your adjuster
- Step-by-step guidance through the claims process
- Emergency tarping to prevent secondary damage
- Project management from claim approval through installation
How It Works
We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and go over it with you before we leave. It usually takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll have written findings that day.
Same-day written estimate with your material options, schedule, and price, all agreed before work starts.
Most Cheat Lake homes take 1 to 3 days. Steep pitches and complex rooflines are common here, and our TAMKO certified crew plans for them. We keep the site clean, sweep for nails, and work around your schedule.
At the end we register the warranty, walk the property with you, and answer any remaining questions. After that, we are still a local call away.
