Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Decatur storm event includes.
We check every slope methodically for impact marks that could compromise the shingle's remaining lifespan.
We check shingle tabs and seal lines across the whole roof, not just the visibly missing sections.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
Proper documentation before you file can make the difference between a fast approval and a drawn-out dispute.
We scope the repair to match what actually happened during the storm, not a generic estimate.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Storm damage assessments move a little slower than a routine repair call, since documentation quality matters for your claim.
We check for hail bruising, lifted shingles, and debris impact across the full roof.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
We follow up after repairs to confirm everything held through the next weather event.
They walked us through what was worth claiming and what wasn't, no pressure either way.
