Storm Damage Help

Storm Damage Roof Repair in Michigan

Wind, hail, heavy snow and fallen limbs can damage a roof in minutes, and small damage turns into leaks fast. Homes Roofing Co inspects your roof for free, documents the damage with photos for your insurance claim, and makes repairs that last.

Signs Your Roof Has Storm Damage

Some damage is easy to spot from the ground. Some isn't, which is why an inspection after a big storm is worth it.

  • Missing or lifted shingles

    Look for bare spots, shingles that are creased or flipped up, or pieces lying in the yard.

  • Hail dents and bruises

    Check gutters, downspouts, vents and window screens. Dents there usually mean the shingles were hit too.

  • Granules in the gutters

    A pile of sandy grit at the downspouts means shingles are losing their protective coating.

  • Leaks and ceiling stains

    New water spots, damp attic insulation or drips during rain point to a break in the roof.

  • Fallen limbs and debris

    Even a branch that slid off can crack shingles or puncture the roof deck underneath.

  • Damaged flashing, fascia or gutters

    Bent flashing, loose fascia or sagging gutters let water in around the edges of the roof.

What to Do After a Storm

  1. Stay safe and stay off the roof

    Wet or damaged roofs are slippery and may be weak. Watch for downed power lines and hanging limbs.

  2. Take photos right away

    Photograph damage from the ground and any leaks or stains inside, along with anything that fell on the house.

  3. Limit further damage

    Move valuables away from leaks and catch drips. If water is coming in, call us for emergency repair.

  4. Book a free roof inspection

    We check the whole roof, not just what you can see, and take photos of everything we find.

  5. Contact your insurance company

    Check your policy and deductible. Many policies have time limits for reporting damage, so don't wait.

Storm Damage Questions

Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?

Many homeowners policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail and falling trees, but coverage, deductibles and deadlines vary. Check your policy or call your agent. We can give you our inspection findings and photos to share with them.

Should I get a roof inspection before I file a claim?

It helps. An inspection shows whether the damage is serious enough to be worth a claim and gives you photos to back it up. If the damage is minor, we will tell you, and a simple repair may cost less than your deductible.

Is the storm damage inspection free?

Yes. Inspections and estimates are free, with no obligation.

Can you fix a roof that is leaking right now?

Yes. Call (269) 262-5055 in Southwest Michigan or (989) 858-3559 in Northern Michigan for emergency roof repair and help with the next steps.
