Professional Wind Damage Repair
Wind damage repairs address roof shingle loss, siding damage, broken windows, and structural impacts from severe weather. High winds (74+ mph hurricane force, 50+ mph severe thunderstorm) can peel back roofing, blow off siding, and drive rain into wall cavities.
Rapid assessment and emergency repairs prevent secondary water damage—a critical step since insurance claims often face denial when secondary damage results from delayed mitigation. We document all damage thoroughly for your insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I file insurance for minor wind damage?
Evaluate deductible vs repair cost. Document all damage—small roof damage often reveals larger issues during inspection. Filing establishes claim date for deterioration discovered later.
Can I wait to repair wind damage?
Emergency mitigation (tarping) should happen immediately to prevent secondary water damage. Permanent repairs can wait for insurance approval, but document everything and protect exposed areas.
How do I know if my roof has wind damage?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, exposed underlayment, granules in gutters, and dents on metal components. Hidden damage is common—professional inspection recommended after any severe wind event.
