As a homeowner, your roof is one of the most important components of your house. It keeps you and your family safe from the elements, and it plays a key role in maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Unfortunately, roofs are also one of the most vulnerable parts of your house when it comes to storm damage. High winds, hail, and heavy rain can all cause significant damage to your roof, and if left unchecked, that damage can lead to even more serious problems.
If you suspect that your roof has been damaged in a storm, it’s important to act quickly. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that the damage will worsen and become more expensive to repair. Here’s what you need to know.
Signs of Storm Damage to Your Roof
The first step in dealing with storm damage to your roof is to determine whether or not your roof has actually been damaged. Here are some common signs of storm damage to look for:
- Missing or broken shingles
- Dents or dings
- Cracks or tears
- Leaks or water spots on your ceiling or walls
- Damage to gutters or downspouts
If you see any of these signs, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected by a professional.
Free Inspections for Storm Damage
We offer free inspections for storm damage. During an inspection, a roofing professional will assess the condition of your roof and look for any signs of damage. If damage is found, we will provide you with an estimate for the cost of repairs or replacement. But we won’t stop there.
Insurance Approval for Roof Repairs or Replacement
If your roof has been damaged in a storm, you may be able to get your repairs or replacement covered by your homeowners insurance policy. To do this, you’ll need to file a claim with your insurance company. We can help you navigate this process and provide you with the documentation and estimates you need to get your claim approved.
We are still getting claims approved from last year’s storms!
Roof Replacement
In some cases, storm damage to your roof may be severe enough that you need to replace your entire roof. This can be a significant expense, but in many cases, the cost of replacement will be covered by your insurance company. A new roof is an investment in the safety and security of your home. It can also improve your home’s energy efficiency and increase its value.
