Types of Storm Damage to Roofs

Different storms cause different types of roof damage, and each requires a specific repair approach.

  • Wind Damage

    High winds break the seal strips on shingles, lifting, creasing, or tearing them off entirely. On metal roofs, wind can loosen fasteners, lift panel edges, and pull away trim. Storm damage roof repair for wind focuses on restoring a sealed, secure roof surface.

  • Hail Damage

    Hail can bruise shingles, knock off protective granules, crack shingle mats, and dent metal panels, vents, and gutters. Hail damage is often hard to see from the ground but shortens roof life significantly.

  • Fallen Trees and Limbs

    Falling trees and branches can puncture decking, crack rafters, and crush roof sections. These situations require debris removal, structural evaluation, and storm damage roof repair to the framing and roofing.

  • Wind-Driven Rain

    Heavy rain pushed sideways by wind can force water under shingles, flashing, and vents, causing leaks even when the roof surface looks intact.

  • Flying Debris

    Loose objects carried by wind can puncture membranes on flat roofs, crack shingles, and damage skylights and vents.
