Can You Repair Storm Damage to a Roof?

After a storm, many homeowners wonder whether their roof can be repaired and how to tell if it was damaged at all. Here is how we look at wind and hail damage, and when a repair is enough.

The Short Answer

Yes, we repair storm damage. Wind and hail can lift shingles and strip granules without leaving an obvious hole, so the best first step is to call and describe what happened. We will talk it through with you and lay out your options.

Why Storm Damage Is Easy to Miss

When people picture storm damage, they usually picture a tree through the roof or shingles scattered across the yard. Wind and hail often do quieter harm. Shingle tabs can be lifted without being torn off, and granules can be stripped from the surface without leaving a visible hole. From the ground, the roof can look fine while the damage is already done. That is why we start with what actually happened during the storm rather than only what is easy to see from the driveway.

What We Look At

Storm damage roofing starts with looking, not selling. We look at what the wind and hail actually did to your roof and then lay out your options. Our crew is GAF certified, and the same crew that installs full roofs is the one that handles repairs, so the person looking at your roof knows how it is built up from the wood deck to the underlayment to the shingle course.

Common signs to mention when you call

  • Shingles that look lifted, loose or out of place after a windy night.
  • Missing shingles, even just a few.
  • Flashing pulled loose around a chimney or vent.
  • A leak that showed up after the storm.

You do not need to know the cause or use the right terms. Tell us what you saw and when the storm came through, and we will take it from there.

Repair or Replacement

Not every storm means a new roof. A repair fixes the specific spot that is failing, such as a leak, a few missing shingles, or flashing that has come loose. A full replacement is the right call when the trouble is spread across the whole roof and fixing one area at a time would no longer make sense. When the answer is a replacement, the old roofing material comes off, the deck gets checked, new underlayment goes down, and new shingles are laid course by course to the GAF standard. We walk through that process in what happens during a roof replacement, and you can see everything we cover on our roofing page.

When a Roof Cannot Wait

Storms do not keep business hours, and neither do we. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for roofs that cannot wait until Monday. If water is coming in or part of your roof is exposed, call us right away at (270) 703-9177.

Our crew is based in Herndon, Kentucky, and we serve the surrounding Kentucky and Tennessee zip codes. That includes homeowners in Clarksville, Mayfield and Paducah. We are licensed in both Kentucky and Tennessee.

Paying for the Work

If a repair or replacement is bigger than you planned for, financing is available through Enhancify for qualified roofing projects. You can see the options on our roofing page.
