Storm Damage 101

Midwest weather can push a roof past its limits. After a storm, start with safety, gather clear photos, and schedule an inspection. Our team checks roofing, siding, and gutters, documents findings, and maps out simple next steps for repair or replacement.

First things First

Living in the Midwest means your home is susceptible to storms almost year round! Whether it's heavy rain, hail, tornados or snow, your roof can be damaged. Understanding the impact of different storms and knowing when to schedule a free estimate is key to keeping your home safe!

Nature of Damage

The nature of the damage to your home includes many factors: wind speeds, materials, structure barriers and general structures around your home that cause damage if fallen.

Identifying the Damage

Sometimes you will need to get on your roof to actually see the damage a storm has done to your roof, siding or gutters. Relying on a local and licensed roofing company can help when it comes to determining how bad the damage actually is.

Your Roof (Exterior) Inspection

It's important to pay attention to your home after any major storms and promptly repair any items needed. When left unattended, the damage can become worse and even start damaging the interior of your home. It can also cause rotting wood, mold and possible electric fires.

It's important to consult a professional if you do see signs of damage on your home as quickly as possible. Be sure to contact a local and trusted roofing or exterior contractor for all of your home's needs after a storm.

Walk the property and note these signs, then book a professional inspection.

Shingles missing, lifted, or creased after strong wind
Soft or bruised spots on shingles after hail impact
Granules in gutters and at downspout outlets
Bent or loose flashing around walls and chimneys
Dents on gutters, vents, or metal trim
Water stains on ceilings or in the attic after rain

Why a Professional Inspection Matters

Hidden moisture and small openings grow into bigger problems if ignored. An inspection adds photos, notes, and measurements you can use with an insurer and for clear repair plans. Schedule a visit through Contact Us or learn the claims process in How to File an Insurance Claim.
