Roof Storm Damage
Your roof is the primary shield against harsh weather. Even the strongest roofs can sustain damage from powerful storms. What might seem minor initially, like a missing shingle or slight dents, can lead to more significant issues like sagging roof beams and leaky attics – repairs that can significantly impact your wallet.

Our team of GAF Master Elite roofing contractors is here to help you navigate and handle the effects of storm damage to your home's roof. We offer prompt response times, with inspections available within 24 hours to identify any potential storm damage.
Identifying Storm Damage to Your Roof
Leaks
The presence of leaks in your attic is a critical indicator of potential storm damage. Water intrusion, if left unaddressed, can have a significant impact on your roof's structural integrity. Over time, exposed beams and other components can sustain serious water damage, leading to costly repairs.
Roof leaks may not manifest immediately after a storm. Weeks can pass before visible signs appear. To safeguard your roof's structural integrity and minimize repair costs, prioritize scheduling a professional inspection immediately after a storm. Early detection allows for timely intervention, potentially minimizing the extent of the damage and associated repair costs.
Other signs of Roof Storm Damage
- Damaged Shingles: Cracked, lifted, curled, or missing shingles are direct signs of storm damage to your roof.
- Shingle Granules in Downspouts: Check downspouts post-storm! Overflowing granules signal hidden roof wear.
- Dented Roof Vent Caps: Check downspouts post-storm! Overflowing granules signal hidden roof wear.
