Roof replacement in Warren, MI
After a storm or a hard wind takes shingles off your Warren roof, the first question is whether it needs a repair or a whole new roof. You'll get photos of the damage, a clear explanation of the repair scope, and a straight answer on which one your roof needs.
Your insurance company decides what's covered.
What wind damage looks like
Wind damage shows up as missing or lifted shingles, damaged ridge caps and, sometimes, a new stain on the ceiling. Watch for these from the ground or inside the house:
- Missing shingles or bare spots
- Lifted or flipped shingle edges
- Damaged or blown-off ridge caps
- New water stains on ceilings after a storm
Spot any of them? Stay off the roof, then call or text us photos.
When storm damage means a new roof
Damage limited to one area can be a repair.If that's true for your roof, you'll hear it from us, and roof repair in Warren explains how that work goes.
When damage is spread across the roof or water has reached the deck, replacement may make more sense. The written scope then covers the full system: tear-off as needed, a deck check, ice and water protection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation, with asphalt shingles or metal roofing on top.

Questions about storm damage and new roofs in Warren
What does a wind-damaged roof look like?
From outside, look for missing shingles, lifted or flipped edges, bare patches and damaged ridge caps. Inside, a new ceiling stain after a storm is the sign to watch for. Not all damage is visible from the ground, so an inspection with photos gives you the full picture.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof?
A repair costs less up front when the damage is limited to one area. When damage is spread across the roof, fixing one spot after another can stop making sense. Photos from a free inspection show you which situation you're in.
How long do you have to claim roof damage after a storm?
Your policy sets that deadline, and it isn't the same for everyone, so check your policy or call your insurance agent soon after the storm. Getting the damage photographed early gives you a clear record to work from.
Does insurance pay for a new roof after storm damage?
Your insurance company decides what's covered, including whether it pays for a repair or a full replacement. What we can do is photograph and document the damage and explain the repair scope, so you and your insurer are looking at the same facts.
Should I go up on my roof to check for storm damage?
It's safer not to. Wet or damaged shingles are slippery, and walking on them can make the damage worse. Look from the ground, check the attic and ceilings, and text us what you see.
