Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage

Storm damage may be present if you notice:

• Shingles lifted or creased after high winds
• Hail impact marks on shingles or vents
• Granule loss in concentrated areas
• Dented metal flashing or roof vents
• Leaks following a storm
• Debris impact from fallen branches
• Gutters pulling away from fascia

Even if damage is not visible from the ground, impact may still exist. A documented inspection confirms the condition.

What Is Included With Our Storm Damage Inspection

A storm inspection is designed to identify, document, and support next steps.

Each inspection includes:

• Full roof surface evaluation
• Photo documentation of potential impact points
• Assessment of flashing, vents, and penetrations
• Identification of wind lifted or creased shingles
• Documentation suitable for insurance review
• Clear explanation of findings
• Written summary of recommended action
• Guidance on next steps if filing a claim

Inspection documentation is structured to help homeowners understand the scope before contacting insurance.

Our Storm Damage Process

1. Inspection and Documentation
The roof surface, flashing, vents, ridge caps, and gutters are evaluated for impact or wind damage. Photos and notes are collected.

2. Findings Review
Damage is reviewed in plain terms so the condition is understood before moving forward.

3. Claim Preparation Guidance
If damage appears claim eligible, guidance is provided on contacting your insurance provider and what documentation to reference.

4. Adjuster Coordination
When requested, findings can be reviewed alongside the adjuster to ensure documented damage is addressed.

5. Repair or Replacement Plan
Once the scope is approved, a clear plan is provided outlining repair or replacement work.

Built for Texas Storm Conditions

Humble and Greater Houston experience high wind events, hail, heavy rain, and seasonal storm exposure.

Key areas evaluated after storms include:

Hail Impact Zones
Random strike patterns and bruising that may not be visible without close inspection.

Wind Creasing
Shingles lifted beyond their sealing strip may lose long term integrity.

Flashing Integrity
Storms frequently compromise metal transitions and vent seals.

Gutter and Drainage Impact
Overflow or pulling gutters may indicate broader roof stress.

Storm damage is not always immediate. Early identification prevents secondary water intrusion.

Insurance and Documentation

If filing a claim becomes necessary, documentation matters.

Inspection documentation may include:

• Photographs of impact areas
• Notes on shingle condition
• Measurements where applicable
• Written findings summary

Coverage decisions depend on individual policy terms and insurer evaluation. Guidance is provided so the process is organized and informed.

What Affects Storm Damage Repair Cost?

Cost depends on:

• Extent of impact or wind damage
• Number of affected slopes
• Flashing replacement needs
• Vent or ridge cap damage
• Decking condition if exposed
• Insurance scope approval

A written estimate is provided once the scope of work is confirmed.

Storm Damage FAQs

How soon after a storm should the roof be inspected?
It is recommended to schedule an inspection as soon as possible to identify impact before secondary damage develops.

Will hail damage always cause immediate leaks?
Not always. Damage can weaken shingles without immediate interior signs.

Do I need to contact insurance before an inspection?
An inspection first provides clarity on whether filing a claim is necessary.

Will you meet with my insurance adjuster?
When requested, findings can be reviewed during the adjuster visit.

What if only part of the roof is damaged?
Recommendations are based on the documented condition of each slope.
