North Carolina's weather can be unpredictable—from hurricanes and tropical storms to severe thunderstorms. Knowing how to handle roof damage quickly can save you thousands in repairs.
Signs of Storm Damage
- Missing or lifted shingles – High winds can tear shingles away entirely
- dents or bruises – Hail creates visible impact marks
- Leaks or water stains – Even small drips indicate compromised roofing
- Granule loss – Check gutters for accumulated granules from shingles
- Damaged flashing – Metal strips around chimneys and vents can be bent or torn
Immediate Steps After a Storm
- Document everything – Take photos of all visible damage before covering anything
- Make temporary repairs – Use tarps to prevent water intrusion
- Contact your insurance company – Begin the claims process promptly
- Get professional inspection – Have a licensed roofer assess the full extent of damage
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden, accidental damage from storms—including wind, hail, and fallen trees. However, damage from neglect or gradual wear may not be covered. Always document damage thoroughly and file claims promptly.
