Storm Damage Roof Repair in Hapeville

Most storm damage does not look like much from the street. That is the problem. Hail rarely punches holes. It leaves dark, round marks where granules got knocked off, and the shingle underneath can be cracked. Wind does something else. It gets under a shingle, breaks the seal strip and folds the tab back. The shingle may drop back flat afterward. It is still loose, and the next gust can take it. Either way, water gets in slowly, and the leak shows up weeks or months later. So we check properly. Every slope gets walked. Hail hits get marked and counted. Shingle edges get lifted by hand to feel for broken seals. Vents, gutters and downspouts get checked for dents, which tell us how big the hail was. Flashing gets checked for bends. Everything goes on camera. Tree limbs are less common, but the older trees around Hapeville do drop branches in high wind, and when one hits a roof we check the decking under it too. Then you get the answer. A few damaged shingles? We repair them. Damage all over? That is a replacement, and if you are filing a claim, the photos and measurements are ready for your adjuster.
