Severe thunderstorms and winter weather can bring wind, hail, heavy rain, and falling limbs. Storm damage roof repair addresses whatever combination of those a roof has taken.
Sometimes that starts with temporary protection, such as a secured tarp, to limit water entry until permanent repair can be done safely.
Storm damage to look for
- A tree limb on or against the roof
- Active leaks after heavy rain
- Missing shingles, dented vents, or loose flashing
- Gutters pulled away from the fascia
- Debris piled in valleys

Inside the house after a storm
If water is coming in, move valuables away and place buckets. If a ceiling is bulging with water, keep people clear of the area. Safety comes before the roof.
Photos of damage, taken safely from the ground or inside, are useful for your own records and for any insurance conversation.
Common questions
