Call (267) 827-1752Note 01Does storm damage mean I need a new roof?
Usually not. Most storm damage is a bounded section, repaired in kind. Where a storm has exposed an old roof that was near the end anyway, you will be told that in writing, with the repair priced alongside so the two can be compared.
Note 02How soon after a storm should a roof be looked at?
Within days if anything is visibly wrong, and the same day if water is coming in. A lifted shingle that is not refastened lets the next wind take the ones beside it, so a small storm repair left a month becomes a bigger one.
Note 03What to do if you have roof damage from a storm?
Make it safe, then stop the water. Stay clear of anything hanging or a limb on the roof, catch water inside, photograph the damage from the ground and inside, and call for temporary cover. The permanent repair is quoted in daylight.
