What We Check Before Recommending Storm Damage Repair
We review shingles, ridge caps, gutters, valleys, flashing, tree impact, hail marks, ice-dam paths, attic moisture, interior stains, and whether tarping is needed before permanent repair.
After a storm, the most urgent decision is whether the roof has open areas that need temporary protection before the next weather event. After that, we separate damage that is cosmetic (granule displacement, surface marks) from damage that is functional (missing shingles, lifted flashing, punctures). A complete post-storm inspection tells you what needs repair now, what can be monitored, and whether the event has created an insurance documentation situation.
