Types of Storm Damage We Repair
Metro Atlanta sees all kinds of storm damage. Here's what we commonly repair and how to identify it.
Hail Damage
Hail is sneaky. It can damage your shingles without any obvious signs from the ground. Hail cracks shingles, knocks off protective granules, and weakens the material. Even small hail can cause damage that leads to leaks months later.
Signs to Look For:
- Dents in metal vents or gutters
- Granules piled in gutters
- Random spots of damage on shingles
- Soft spots when walking on roof
Wind Damage
Georgia thunderstorms bring serious wind. Gusts can lift shingle tabs, break the seal between shingles, or rip them off completely. Once shingles are lifted or missing, water gets underneath and causes more damage.
Signs to Look For:
- Missing shingles
- Shingles curled or lifted at edges
- Debris on roof (branches, etc.)
- Exposed nail heads
Fallen Tree Damage
Tree limbs—or whole trees—falling on your roof create immediate emergencies. Beyond the obvious impact damage, the weight can crack decking and push water into your home through multiple entry points.
Signs to Look For:
- Visible impact damage
- Punctured or torn shingles
- Sagging roof sections
- Interior water intrusion
What to Do After a Storm Hits
Just had a bad storm roll through? Here's our recommended checklist.
Post-Storm Checklist
Safety First
Never climb on your roof after a storm. Wet or damaged roofs are extremely dangerous. If you have active water intrusion, put buckets down to catch water and call us immediately. We'll handle the roof inspection safely.
Our Storm Damage Response Process
When you call us after a storm, here's exactly what happens next.
Call Us Immediately
Don't wait to see if it gets worse. Call (404) 797-8115 as soon as you notice damage. The faster we respond, the less additional damage occurs.
Document the Damage
If it's safe to do so, take photos and videos of visible damage from inside and outside. This helps with insurance claims. Don't climb on the roof—leave that to us.
Emergency Tarping
If your roof is actively leaking or has major damage, we'll install emergency tarps to prevent further water intrusion. This is a temporary solution while we plan repairs.
Full Damage Assessment
Once it's safe, we conduct a thorough inspection of your entire roof. We document all damage with detailed photos and measurements for your insurance claim.
Insurance Coordination
We work directly with your insurance company, providing documentation and meeting with adjusters on-site when needed. We know what insurance companies need to approve claims.
Repair or Replacement
Depending on the extent of damage, we either repair the affected areas or recommend full replacement if warranted. We don't push unnecessary work—just what your roof needs.
We Help With Insurance Claims
Dealing with insurance after a storm is stressful. We make it easier by providing documentation, meeting with adjusters, and advocating for fair coverage.
File Promptly
Most policies have time limits for filing storm damage claims. Call your insurance company as soon as you can after the storm. Document the date and time of the storm.
Document Everything
Photos, videos, and written descriptions all help. Take wide shots and close-ups. Photograph damage to other parts of your property too—it establishes the storm's severity.
Get a Professional Inspection
Insurance adjusters often do quick inspections and may miss damage. Having a roofer's detailed report ensures nothing is overlooked. We provide thorough documentation.
Don't Accept Low Offers Blindly
Initial insurance offers are sometimes lower than actual repair costs. If the amount seems wrong, you can request a re-inspection. We can meet with the adjuster to explain damage.
Know Your Policy
Understand your deductible, coverage limits, and what's covered. Some policies have separate wind/hail deductibles. We can help explain how your coverage applies to your damage.
Our Insurance Claim Support Includes:
- Detailed damage documentation with photos
- Written repair estimates for adjusters
- On-site meetings with insurance adjusters
- Supplemental claims if damage is underestimated
- Clear explanation of necessary repairs
- Support throughout the claims process
