Start with a real inspection, not a door knock
After a big storm, trucks show up in every neighborhood. A real inspection means someone gets on the roof, photographs every damaged slope, checks the vents, flashing and gutters, and tells you plainly whether the damage is worth a claim.
If the damage is minor, a repair is often the right call. Not every storm means a new roof.
What storm damage looks like
- Creased or lifted shingles from high wind
- Missing tabs or shingles in the yard
- Bruised or cracked shingles with exposed mat from hail
- Dented gutters, downspouts and roof vents
- Granules collecting at downspout outlets
- New water stains on ceilings after the storm
Filing the claim
Call your insurance company with the date of the storm and your photos. They assign an adjuster. Ask your contractor to be there for the adjuster visit so every damaged area gets documented before anyone leaves the roof.
Your deductible is yours to pay. Any contractor offering to waive or absorb it is asking you to take a risk with your policy.
Replacement day
- Tear-off down to the decking, never shingles over shingles
- Rotted decking replaced and documented
- New underlayment plus ice-and-water shield in valleys and at eaves
- New flashing, drip edge, vents and pipe boots
- Magnet sweep of the yard and driveway at cleanup

Common questions
