Your Complete Guide to Roof Storm Damage: Practical Steps for Homeowners

When severe weather strikes roof damage follows, particularly caused by high winds and hail. Storm damage can compromise the structural integrity of your roof, making it vulnerable to leaks, mold, and other problems that can affect the safety and comfort of your home.

What to Expect After Wind Damage to Your Roof

It’s natural to be concerned after experiencing a potentially damaging storm. But, knowing what to expect can help you take action. Follow these steps to address roof storm damage and restore your peace of mind.

Assessing Damage to Your Roof: One of the first things you need to do is conduct a thorough inspection on your roof. This should be done by a professional roofing contractor, but you can also do a preliminary assessment on your own. It is crucial to identify all areas of damage no matter how small they appear. Look for signs of lifted or missing shingles, cracked or broken tiles, loose flashing, and any other visible signs of damage. Be sure to document everything and take photos for insurance purposes.
Protect Your Home from Further Damage:If there are any holes or areas where the roof has been compromised, cover them with a tarp or other temporary solution to keep out any moisture or debris.
Hire a Storm Damage Roof Repair Expert: It is essential to work with a roofing contractor who is experienced in storm damage repairs to ensure your roof restoration is done correctly and effectively. Your contractor can help you assess the severity of damage and determine the best course of action.
Contact Your Insurance Company: It is important to contact your insurance company to ensure any necessary repairs are covered. An experienced roofing company, like Choice Home Remodeling, can work with your insurance company and provide estimates, documentation of damage, and the repairs needed. Be sure to keep a record of all conversations and documents related to the claim.

Handling Hail Damage and Other Storm Damage Roof Repairs

Hail damage is a frequent occurrence that can wreak havoc on your roof, and if left unchecked, can lead to some serious impairments to your home. That is why it is crucial to address hair damage as soon as possible and avoid any deterioration or further damage.

Hail can create visible damage such as dents and punctures, as well as potentially overlooked damage like granule loss or hairline fractures that can compromise the integrity of the roof over time. Cupolas, gutters, downspout, metal roofs, and other items can be affected as well.

We've had a great experience with Choice Home Remodeling replacing windows in our great room and kitchen area. Tim was fantastic to work with during the quote phase and explained our options clearly so we could make the best choices. We were able to divide the whole house project into two phases, and were so pleased with the initial work that we decided to proceed with the rest of the house as soon as phase 1 was complete. The installation crew was excellent! We are so happy we found Choice Home Remodeling!

Response from the owner:Beth, thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you’re happy with your new windows and that Tim and the installation crew made the process smooth and enjoyable. It was a pleasure working with you on phases one of the project, and are looking forward to completing phase two. Thanks again for trusting Choice Home Remodeling!
