Roof Insurance Claims, Made Simple
A windstorm can damage your roof in minutes — and the insurance process shouldn't add to the stress. We document the damage, meet your adjuster, and guide you from inspection to a brand-new, fully-warrantied roof.
What Wind Damage Looks Like
6 Signs Your Roof Took a Hit
Wind and storm damage isn't always obvious from the curb. Here's what our inspectors look for — and what you can watch for too.
Missing or Torn Shingles
Bare patches where wind has peeled shingles off the deck — the most obvious sign of storm damage.
Lifted or Creased Shingles
Wind breaks the adhesive seal and folds shingles back, leaving creases that let water underneath.
Granule Loss & Bald Spots
Piles of sandy granules in gutters or downspouts mean the protective surface is wearing off.
Damaged or Missing Flashing
Bent, lifted, or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a common leak point.
Leaks & Ceiling Water Stains
Brown rings on ceilings, damp attic insulation, or daylight through the roof deck signal active intrusion.
Debris & Fallen Limbs
Branches, punctures, or dents from wind-driven debris and hail can compromise the whole system.
Snap photos and note the storm date — documentation strengthens your claim.
After the Storm
What to Look For
- From the ground (stay safe — never climb a storm-damaged roof), scan for missing, curled, or crooked shingles.
- Walk your yard and driveway for shingle pieces, granules, or flashing that blew off.
- Check gutters and downspouts for granule buildup and dents.
- Look inside your attic for daylight, wet insulation, or water trails after rain.
- Inspect ceilings and upper walls for fresh brown stains or bubbling paint.
- Photograph everything and note the storm date — it helps your claim.
