What wind damages

- Flashing pulled away from walls
- Debris and branches puncturing roofing

- Photograph everything with dates
- Call for an inspection before the next storm
Repair and prevention
We replace damaged materials, re-secure edges and flashing, and look for weak points that could fail in the next storm. On shingle roofs, creased tabs that look fine from the ground can fail later.
Insurance
Sudden wind damage is often a covered peril. Your insurer decides. We can provide photos and an estimate. See storm damage claims.

Common questions
Can I tell from the ground?
Missing pieces, yes. Creased or loosened shingles often need a close look.
Should I tarp right away?
If roofing is missing and weather is coming, a temporary cover helps. Stay off the roof in high wind.
