What storms do to roofs
- Lifted or creased shingles that no longer seal and later leak.
- Missing shingles and ridge caps after strong gusts.
- Torn or bent flashing at walls, valleys and vents.
- Punctures from limbs and flying debris.
Some of this can't be seen from the ground. A roofer checks the whole roof, not just the obvious spots.
After the storm passes
- Look at the roof from the ground and photograph anything missing or out of place.
- Check the attic and ceilings for new stains.
- Stay off the roof.
- Call a roofer early; demand jumps after big storms.
Watch out for storm chasers
After big storms, out-of-town crews knock on doors. Take your time, ask for a local address and references, get the scope of work in writing, and don't sign anything on the doorstep.

FAQ
Storm Roof Repair: common questions
How soon after a storm should the roof be checked?
As soon as it's safe. Small openings let water in with the next rain.
Can storm-hit shingles be repaired, or does the roof need replacing?
It depends on how widespread the problem is. Scattered missing shingles are usually repaired; widespread creasing may mean a re-roof.
How do I know if wind hurt my roof?
Look from the ground for missing shingles, shingles on the lawn, bent flashing or lifted edges, and check the attic for new light or stains.
What wind speed can tear off shingles?
Gusts around 50 to 60 mph can lift older or poorly sealed shingles; newer wind-resistant shingles hold up better.
How do I avoid storm chasers?
Take your time, ask for a local address and references, get the scope of work in writing, and don't sign anything on the doorstep.
