How it works

How a roof keeps water out.

A roof is a system of layers, not just shingles. Each one has a job, and a leak usually means one of them has failed.

Storm damage we repair

Wind damage: missing, creased or lifted shingles, usually at the edges, ridges and corners where wind gets underneath.
Lifted or torn flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents and walls. See flashing repair.
Fallen trees and branches that crack shingles, puncture the deck or crush part of the roof.
Hail damage: bruised or cracked shingles and dented vents, gutters and skylights.
Water damage underneath: wet decking and underlayment, attic stains and soaked insulation after wind-driven rain.
Gutters and downspouts pulled loose by wind or falling limbs. See gutter repair.

Signs of storm damage, even without a leak

Wind damage often stays hidden until the next heavy rain. After a storm, look from the ground (never climb a wet roof) for:

Shingles, ridge caps or strips of flashing in the yard or the gutters
Dark patches or bare spots where shingles used to be
Shingle granules piled up at the bottom of the downspouts
Branches resting on the roof, or a section that looks like it sags
New stains on ceilings, or damp spots and daylight in the attic

Found something? Have it looked at before the next rain. A few lifted shingles are a quick repair; left alone, the wind keeps working them loose and water gets into the deck.

How our storm damage repair works

Illustration · FlashingMetal that seals the joints around pipes, chimneys, skylights and walls, where many leaks start.

Protect the house firstIf the roof is open or leaking, a crew secures it or tarps it, day or night.
Inspect the whole roof,not just the spot that leaks: shingles, flashing, vents, gutters and the attic, because wind damage is often spread across the roof.
Explain and priceWe show you what we found and give you a clear written price before any work starts.
Repair it properlyWe replace the damaged shingles, underlayment, flashing and decking so the roof is watertight again, then clean up completely.

If the damage is widespread or the roof was already near the end of its life, a roof replacement can make more sense than patching. We’ll tell you plainly which one your roof needs. Every new roof comes with a 10-year labor warranty plus a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Storm damage and your insurance claim

Many homeowner policies cover sudden storm damage, such as wind tearing off shingles or a tree falling on the roof, while wear and old age usually aren’t covered. What your policy pays for is decided by your insurance company, so read your policy or ask your agent.

You get a written repair price that you can share with your insurer. We’re roofers, not insurance adjusters, so we don’t negotiate claims: we protect the roof, show you the damage we found and price the repair in writing. A few things help any claim go smoothly:

Photos before repairs. Take them before any cleanup, and keep a few of the damaged shingles if you can.
Keep every receipt, including emergency tarping. Policies usually expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent more damage.
Check your deductible. Many Long Island policies have a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible, often a percentage of the home’s insured value rather than a fixed dollar amount.
Be there for the adjuster’s visit, and ask for a copy of their estimate so you can compare it with the repair price.

Storm damage roof repair FAQ

Common questions.

Still not sure?

Call 631-965-0881 any time. We'll tell you straight whether it's a repair or a replacement.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to a roof?

Often, when the damage is sudden: wind tearing off shingles, hail, or a tree falling on the roof. Wear and old age usually aren’t covered. Your policy and your insurance company decide, so check your coverage and your deductible.

Do you help with insurance claims?

We’re roofers, not adjusters, so we don’t negotiate your claim. We protect the roof, show you the storm damage we found and give you a written repair price that you can share with your insurer. Call 631-965-0881.

How soon should I get my roof checked after a storm?

As soon as it’s safe, and before the next heavy rain. Lifted shingles and loose flashing let water in quickly, and insurers usually ask for damage to be reported promptly.

Can a roof have storm damage without leaking?

Yes. Wind often lifts or creases shingles and loosens flashing without an immediate leak. The damage shows up later as a leak, rot in the deck or more shingles blowing off in the next storm. An inspection finds it early.
