Wind damage and insurance roof repair in Warren, MI
Shingles in the yard after a windstorm are a sure sign your roof took a hit. A free inspection of your Warren roof photographs the wind damage and explains the repair, with the scope in writing.
Your insurance company decides what's covered.
What does wind damage look like on a roof?
Wind damage looks like missing shingles, sections that no longer lie flat, and ridge caps that are cracked or blown off. Some of it is obvious from the ground. The rest only shows up close, which is why each spot is photographed during the inspection.
Lifted shingles matter even when they're still attached. Once the seal breaks, wind and water can get underneath.
What we photograph and what we may repair
Every damaged area is photographed so you can see it yourself, and then the scope is written up. A wind repair on a Warren roof may include:
- replacing shingles that blew off
- re-nailing and sealing lifted sections
- repairing ridge caps and other blow-offs
Materials are matched when we can, so the repair looks clean.If the damage goes beyond a repair, you'll see why, and we'll walk you through roof replacement in Warren.
Before we get there
If it's safe, take a few photos from the ground and write down the date of the storm. Stay off the roof and leave the close-up work to us.
Questions about wind damage in Warren
Will a roof leak if shingles blew off?
It can. Missing shingles expose the layers underneath, and those layers aren't meant to take rain and wind on their own. Even if nothing is dripping yet, the spot should be checked and repaired before the next storm.
How long do you have to claim roof damage after a storm?
Any time limit is set by your policy, so read it or ask your insurer soon after the storm. Your insurance company decides what's covered. Getting the damage photographed while it's fresh gives you a clear record either way.
Can you repair just a few shingles?
Yes. When wind damage is limited to a few spots, those shingles can be replaced or re-sealed without touching the rest of the roof. Matching materials when we can keeps the repair from standing out.
Can I see wind damage from the ground?
Sometimes. Missing shingles and bare spots are easy to see, but lifted edges and broken seals usually aren't, so a close look settles it.
Do you handle wind damage on commercial buildings?
Yes. Storm inspections and repairs cover businesses as well as homes in Warren.
