    Storm Damage and Your Roof: What Every Homeowner Should Know

    Severe weather is one of the most common threats to your roof. Wind can lift and tear shingles, while hail can bruise the protective mat beneath—damage that's often invisible from the ground.

    How Wind Damages Your Roof

    High winds create uplift forces that can break the seal between shingles, allowing water to penetrate. Once the seal is broken, future storms cause progressive damage.

    How Hail Damages Your Roof

    Hail impact knocks the protective granules off shingles, exposing the asphalt beneath to UV rays. This shortens the roof's life and can void manufacturer warranties.

    What to Do After a Storm

    1. Document any visible damage with photos
    2. Schedule a professional inspection promptly
    3. Review your insurance policy and coverage
    4. Let your contractor meet with the adjuster
    5. Keep records of all correspondence

    Working with Your Insurance Company

    Navigating an insurance claim can feel overwhelming. We meet with your adjuster on-site, document the damage thoroughly, and advocate for a fair assessment. If a claim isn't appropriate, we'll tell you honestly and provide a fair retail estimate instead.
