Wind Damage vs. Hail Damage
Wind and hail damage look different and affect your roof differently. Wind typically lifts, tears, or removes shingles and can damage flashing. Hail impacts can bruise or crack shingles, dislodge granules, and dent metal components like vents and flashing. Both compromise your roof's ability to shed water and should be inspected after any significant storm.
Missing Shingles After a Storm: What Now?
If you see shingles on the ground after a storm, your roof has been compromised. Missing shingles expose the underlayment and decking to water, and the surrounding shingles may also be loosened. Call for an inspection as soon as possible — the exposed area can allow water intrusion with the next rainfall.
Repair vs. Replacement After Storm Damage
Not all storm damage requires a full roof replacement. If damage is limited to a section of the roof and the rest is in good condition, a targeted repair may be sufficient. If hail or wind has compromised shingles across the entire roof surface, replacement is often the right recommendation. We help you understand which makes sense for your situation.
Insurance Documentation Support
We document visible storm damage, provide contractor estimates, and communicate the project scope to support your restoration process. We work with homeowners throughout the process. We are not public adjusters, we do not provide legal advice, and we do not guarantee claim approval. Any insurance-related representation should be reviewed for compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get my roof inspected after every storm?
After any storm with high winds, hail, or fallen debris, a visual check from the ground is a good start. If you see missing shingles, dents, or debris on the roof, call for a professional inspection. Hidden damage can allow water intrusion before you see interior signs.
Will you work with my insurance company?
We document damage, provide estimates, and communicate the scope of work. We work with you throughout the restoration process. We do not act as a public adjuster or guarantee claim approval.
How does the storm-claim process work?
Typically, you report the damage to your insurer, an adjuster inspects the roof, and coverage is determined based on your policy. Our role is to document visible damage with photos, provide a contractor estimate, and communicate the scope of work. You can share our findings with your insurer or adjuster. We do not determine coverage or guarantee outcomes.
How soon after a storm should I call?
As soon as possible. Storm damage can worsen with each subsequent rainfall, and prompt documentation supports your insurance process. If you see visible damage or water intrusion, call 888-505-4857 right away.
Does storm damage require a full roof replacement?
Not always. If damage is limited to a section and the rest of the roof is sound, a targeted repair may be enough. If hail or wind has compromised shingles across the entire roof, replacement is often the better recommendation. We help you understand which makes sense after inspecting the damage.
