If a storm just hit, your priority is preventing water intrusion and documenting damage.
Types of storm damage we see
Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Strong storms, heavy rain, and wind are a regular part of life here, and even small issues can worsen quickly if left unaddressed.
Common types of storm-related roof damage include:
- Wind damage: lifted, torn, or missing shingles
- Hail damage: dents, cracks, or granule loss
- Fallen debris: tree limbs, branches on the roof
- Compromised flashing: loosened seals around vents and chimneys
- Interior leaks: water stains appearing after storms
If a storm recently passed and something doesn't look right, it's best to have the roof inspected.
Signs your roof may have storm damage
Some damage is easy to spot, while other signs are subtle. Common warning signs include:
- Granules collecting in gutters
- New water stains on ceilings or walls
- Shingles lying in the yard
- Visible roof irregularities
- Damp attic insulation
Even if the roof looks intact from the ground, underlying damage may still exist.
What to do after a storm
If you suspect storm damage, follow these steps:
- Check for visible damage from the ground (don't climb on the roof)
- Look for leaks or interior water stains
- Document damage with photos or video
- Schedule a professional inspection
Early documentation helps with insurance claims and speeds up the repair process.
Emergency and temporary roof protection
In cases of active leaks or severe damage, temporary measures such as tarping may be recommended to prevent further water intrusion until repairs can be made.
If you're dealing with storm damage or a sudden leak, calling is usually the fastest way to get help.
Storm damage and insurance claims
Many storm-related roof repairs may be covered by homeowners insurance. While we don't handle claims directly, we help homeowners understand the inspection process and document damage so they can make informed decisions when speaking with their insurer.
Depending on the severity, storm damage may require targeted repairs or full roof replacement. A professional inspection helps determine the best path forward.
Frequently asked questions about storm damage roofing
What types of storms cause roof damage?
High winds, heavy rain, hail, and falling debris are the most common causes of storm-related roof damage.
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
It's best to schedule an inspection as soon as possible after a storm, even if damage isn't obvious. Some issues aren't visible from the ground.
Can storm damage lead to leaks later?
Yes. Storm damage may weaken shingles or flashing without causing immediate leaks. Problems often appear during the next rainfall.
What should I do if a tree or branch falls on my roof?
If it's safe, document the damage with photos and avoid climbing onto the roof. Call for professional help to assess and prevent further damage.
Will storm damage always require full roof replacement?
Not necessarily. Many storm-related issues can be repaired if caught early. An inspection helps determine the best option.
Should I call immediately for storm-related roof issues?
If there's active leaking, visible damage, or debris on the roof, calling sooner helps prevent additional damage.
