Wondering if last night's storm actually damaged your roof?
Most storm damage doesn't show from the ground. Hail bruises the mat under the granules and knocks the surface loose without punching a visible hole, and wind gets under a shingle's leading edge and breaks the seal without tearing anything off. A homeowner looking up from the driveway will usually see nothing unusual at all. The only reliable way to know is a slope-by-slope look from someone who has seen what a hail hit and a broken seal look like up close, and that's exactly what this inspection is for. It costs nothing and tells you where you actually stand.
Warning signs to watch for
Granules piling up at the downspouts
Hail knocks the protective granules loose from the shingle surface, and they collect right where the water exits the gutter system. A little granule loss is normal wear, but a sudden pile after a storm points to fresh impact damage across the roof.
Dents in gutters, vents, or AC fins
Soft metal dents before shingles show visible bruising, so a dented gutter, roof vent, or air conditioner fin is often the first sign hail hit hard enough to matter. It's a quick check from the ground that tells us where to look closer.
Lifted, creased, or missing shingles
Wind gets under the edge of a shingle, breaks the seal, and either creases it or tears it off outright. A creased shingle will not reseal on its own and leaks with the next rain, even if it looks mostly fine from a distance.
A new ceiling stain after a storm
Water that gets in during a storm rarely drips straight below the entry point, since it runs along the decking first. A fresh stain means the roof already has an active leak that needs attention now, not just documentation for later.
What is causing the problem
Hail bruising the shingle mat
Hail impacts bruise the asphalt mat under the granules, which weakens the shingle even when the surface still looks intact. Bruised shingles fail early because the sun works directly on the exposed spot.
Wind breaking the shingle seal
Once wind lifts a shingle's leading edge, the adhesive seal strip underneath breaks and doesn't reform. Every gust after that works the same weak spot until the shingle tears loose or a leak starts underneath it.
Debris impact from falling limbs
A branch or piece of debris can punch through the shingle and underlayment and crack the decking below it, even in a storm where the wind and hail weren't the worst part. That kind of damage needs a repair, not just a patch.
A roof already near the end of its service life
An older roof with brittle or curling shingles takes storm damage harder than a newer one, since the material has less give left in it. If the inspection shows the roof was already close to needing replacement, that gets factored into the recommendation.
What to expect during the visit
We walk each slope of the roof and photograph anything that looks like hail or wind damage, along with the gutters, vents, and soft metals nearby, since those often show hits before the shingles do. We check the ridge and the edges for lifted or creased shingles and look at the attic side if there's any sign of an active leak. Once we're done, we tell you plainly whether there's damage worth filing a claim over or not. If there is, we walk you through documenting it and what an adjuster visit typically looks like. If the roof checks out fine, we tell you that too.
Related services you may need
If the inspection turns up damage, we can move straight into Roof Repair for isolated issues or Roof Replacement if the shingles have failed broadly. For businesses, the same process applies under Commercial Roofing.
The cost of waiting
Storm damage that isn't documented soon after the event tends to get written off as ordinary wear later on, which makes an insurance claim much harder to support. A bruised shingle that goes unaddressed keeps losing granules and protection until it fails outright, usually during the next storm rather than a calm afternoon. What starts as a free inspection and a quick conversation can turn into a full tear-off and a denied claim if it sits too long. Getting the roof looked at soon after a storm is the difference between a straightforward repair and a bigger, more expensive problem down the road.
How do I know if I need a storm damage inspection?
If your area has had recent hail or high wind, it's worth getting the roof checked even if you don't see obvious damage, since most storm damage isn't visible from the ground. We inspect the roof, gutters, and soft metals and tell you directly what we find.
Does the inspection cost anything?
No, the inspection is completely free with no obligation to do anything afterward. We come out, document the roof, and give you a straight answer about whether there's damage worth pursuing.
How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?
Sooner is better, since insurance policies generally have a window for filing a claim and damage left unreported can start to look like normal wear over time. Call us as soon as it's safe to do so after the storm passes.
