What Storm Damage Looks Like on a Roof
Most storm damage doesn’t look dramatic. That’s what makes it easy to miss—and risky to ignore. Here’s what our team of expert residential roofers looks for during a professional inspection:
You might not see damage after a storm—but that doesn’t mean your roof wasn’t hit.
Hail can weaken shingles or break their seal without leaving obvious signs. Wind can lift edges or loosen flashing in places you can’t see from the ground. These small issues often go unnoticed until water finds its way in, causing mold or insulation damage.
We offer fast, thorough residential roof inspections and repairs to catch problems early and prevent bigger headaches later. Some repairs are simple. Others involve navigating a full insurance claim. Our experienced residential roofing contractors are equipped to handle both, so you get the right fix without added stress.

Most storm damage doesn’t look dramatic. That’s what makes it easy to miss—and risky to ignore. Here’s what our team of expert residential roofers looks for during a professional inspection:
Storm damage can cause serious issues if left alone. Our goal as a trusted roofing company is to catch problems early and fix them right, so your home stays protected.
We start with a complete roof inspection. Shingles, flashing, underlayment—we check it all. Our roofers document any storm-related damage with photos. If needed, we tarp the area to prevent further water damage.
If the damage qualifies for a claim, we’ll meet with your adjuster, share our findings, and help ensure the full scope is covered. You stay informed and in control.
You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to be repaired, how we’ll do it, and how long it will take. No vague language. No unnecessary upsells.
Our residential roofers complete the repairs to code using tested materials. We register your warranty (if applicable) and provide final documentation for your records.
Our goal: restore your roof quickly, safely, and with the same care we’d want for our own homes.
Even minor dents or lifted shingle edges can lead to bigger issues or void your roof’s warranty. If you’re unsure, it’s worth checking. A quick inspection now can prevent expensive repairs later.
Most storm-related claims don’t affect your premiums. They’re classified as natural events, not preventable losses. We can’t speak for your provider, but we’ll help you understand what’s worth claiming.
Yes. As an experienced roofing contractor, we’ll meet with the adjuster, share photo documentation, and help make sure the full scope of damage is included. That means fewer delays and fewer surprises.
Some storm damage can wait a few weeks to be repaired. Others can’t. A torn shingle may expose the layers beneath it to rain, snow, or UV damage. That damage spreads. Flashing issues or punctures can lead to slow leaks that take months to show up—by then, insulation or drywall may already be affected.
Insurance timelines are another factor. Most policies require you to report damage within 6 to 12 months, sometimes sooner. (Waiting too long can make it harder to get coverage and harder to prove the storm caused the damage.)
Our job as your residential roofing contractor is to help you understand what’s urgent, what’s claim-worthy, and what can safely wait.
Storm damage doesn’t always leak right away. But once water gets in, it moves fast.
Let’s get ahead of it. A quick inspection now from a trusted roofing company could prevent major repairs later.
