Storm Damage Roof Repair Starts With an Inspection
After a storm, damage is easy to miss from the ground. A roof can look fine from the driveway and still have bruised, creased or loosened shingles. That’s why our process always starts the same way: we inspect first.
What we look for
- Hail hits that knock granules loose or crack shingles
- Shingles that wind has lifted, creased or torn off
- Bent or loose flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights
- Dents in gutters, downspouts, vents and metal trim
- Impact damage from limbs and debris
- Signs of water getting into the attic or decking
We document everything
We take clear photos of what we find and explain it in plain language. You’ll know what’s storm damage, what’s normal wear for your roof’s age, and what’s a simple repair. Good documentation helps you make a decision, whether that’s a small repair, a full replacement, or a conversation with your insurance company.
Common Storms in Western North Carolina
Our region gets a mix of weather that can be hard on roofs.
- Spring and summer thunderstorms can bring hail and strong straight-line winds across the Catawba Valley and up toward the mountains.
- Remnants of tropical systems can bring days of heavy rain and gusty wind to the Foothills and the high country.
- Winter storms can bring ice and heavy snow loads, plus freeze-thaw cycles that open small gaps.
- Falling trees and limbs are common in wooded neighborhoods around Hickory, Lenoir, Morganton and Lake Hickory.
To check whether severe weather was reported near you, see the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, which covers much of the western Piedmont and Foothills of North Carolina.
What to Do Before Storm Damage Roof Repair Begins
- Stay safe. Don’t climb onto a wet or damaged roof. Watch for downed power lines.
- Take photos of damage you can see from the ground, and of any leaks or stains inside.
- Limit further damage with buckets, moving belongings, or a temporary tarp. Keep receipts.
- Write down the date of the storm.
- Schedule an inspection so a roofer can check the roof up close.
How We Help You Understand the Insurance Process
Many storm damage roof repair jobs involve homeowners insurance, and the process can feel confusing. Here’s how we help, and where we draw the line.
What we do
- Inspect and photograph the damage
- Explain what we found and whether it looks like storm damage or wear
- Walk you through the general steps of a claim if you choose to file
- Meet with your adjuster on-site if you ask us to, and share our documentation
- Complete the repair or replacement once you decide how to move forward
What we don’t do
- We don’t interpret your policy. Your policy, your agent and your insurance company answer coverage questions.
- We don’t promise a claim will be approved. Your insurance company makes that decision.
- We don’t offer to waive or cover your deductible.
The North Carolina Department of Insurance also has consumer information if you have questions about your rights as a policyholder.
Repairs, Replacements and More

- Roof repair for leaks, missing shingles and flashing
- Roof replacement when damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its life

Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQ
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Look for missing shingles, granules in your gutters, dented gutters or vents, and new stains on ceilings. Many signs can’t be seen from the ground, so an inspection is the best way to know.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
Many homeowners get an inspection first so they know whether there’s storm damage before deciding to file. The decision to file is always yours.
Will my insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Only your insurance company can decide that, based on your policy. We can document the damage and help you understand the general process.
Can you put a tarp on my roof?
If your roof is leaking after a storm, call us at 828-501-0742 and we’ll talk through temporary protection to limit more damage before storm damage roof repair starts.
