Roof Storm Restoration

Nothing can be more devastating than mother nature. She can produce unpredictable and relentless storms that leave millions of dollars in damages behind. The roof that is meant to keep you safe at night may have had its last day on duty the night of a storm and is left in shambles, needing to be restored.

Roof repair is almost a given after bad storms. Sometimes, unfortunately, roof replacement is also necessary due to extensive damage caused by the storm. This is why you will need a roofing team to repair the storm-damaged roof and ensure your home stays dry on the inside.

Types of storm damage

Two common types of storm damage can do serious damage to a roof, hail and wind. Both of these types of storms can cost homeowners thousands in repairs.

Hail damage can vary based on the size of the hail falling. Hail falls onto your roof, causing dings and chips in your asphalt shingles, sometimes even cracking the entire shingle. Gutters and siding can be damaged, which will also need repairs to ensure the integrity of your home.

Granule loss is also an issue worsen by hail damage. Granules are the texture coating on your tiles. When this coating is removed prematurely, the lifespan of your roof will decrease at an alarming rate. Sometimes the damage is minor and invisible to the untrained eye, so a professional inspector will be your best route to go to after a storm.

Below are a few examples of what to look for after a hail storm. The damage you will see will be dependent on the size of the hail that falls.

Severe winds from a storm can also do some serious damage to your roof. High winds can blow their way under loose tiles and rip them from your roof. This can happen with the flashing around your roof as well. The tiles lifted can range from one to an entire section of your roof.

Like hail, the wind can cause damage similar to the pictures above by blowing debris and other items onto your roof. If your home resides near large trees, a strong wind storm could tear off branches causing large holes in your roof.

Worst case scenario would be a tree falling onto your home. This would require immediate repair and an insurance claim. The photo below depicts an uprooted tree that was blown onto a home.

What to do after severe storm damage

After your unfortunate run-in with storm damage to your roof, you must file an insurance claim or have a roofing professional stop by to assess the damage. Most insurance companies will cover storm damage, but in case they do not, you still need to call a pro.

What will happen next is an inspector will be sent out to your home. The inspector will quickly assess the damages and give either you or your insurance company the quote for the necessary repairs.

The insurance company will process the quote and send you a list of approved vendors to choose from to complete your repairs. Sometimes an insurance company will choose the company for you, which helps alleviate the stress you are already going through during this time.

You will be contacted with available timeslots for the repairs to be completed, and you can choose a time that is most convenient for you.

After the roof restoration is complete, all you will be left with is your bill.

Cost of Roof Storm Restoration

An insurance claim could help with the cost of roof replacement or repair, but a deductible will need to be paid. Most deductibles range from $500-$1000. A storm damage specialist’s pricing will range due to the varying degrees of damage your home has received. Do your research and seek a company with stellar reviews.

Severe thunderstorm damage can be a hassle nobody wants to be a part of. However, this part of life is typically beyond our control. When disaster strikes, we are sure to act fast to keep costs to a minimum. Waiting will only increase the damage caused by the storm, so pick up that phone.
