Signs You May Need Storm Damage Roof Repair

If you live in an area that has ever suffered from hurricanes, or hurricane season, you are probably very familiar with the signs of hurricane damage that may be seen around your house. While damage from one type of storm or another is inevitable, knowing what to look for beforehand can save you a lot of time and frustration. This article will go over signs that you may need storm damage roof repair.

First, let’s start by describing what the signs of damage are. The roof is essentially the most obvious and visible sign of damage. There are actually several other signs of damage that may be more evident, but for the sake of this article, we’ll focus on the roof.

There will be a couple of obvious signs of roof damage. One would be missing roof shingles. This is usually easy to spot because it’s a very small piece, but it is a very important sign to be able to identify whether or not the roof needs to be replaced. Other signs include broken or missing tiles. Tiles can also become dislodged in high winds, as well as shingles and roofing material.

You should also consider the condition of the rest of your house. Are there cracks and holes in your walls? Are your walls and windows showing signs of water damage and mold? If so, these may also need to be repaired or replaced. If you have a leaking roof, you may be putting your family at risk.

In order to accurately assess the amount of damage your home may have incurred during the hurricane, it is best to consult with a roof repair company. A qualified roof repair specialist can assess the condition of your home based on its current state. For example, there may be shingles missing, but your roof is sound. He or she can tell you if a repair is needed or if there are other problems that will need to be addressed before having the work done. A quality service should be able to give you an estimate of the cost of the work as well as tell you what options are available to you.

Once you decide to hire a roof repair contractor to repair your roof, be sure to get all of your paperwork in place. Make sure you know the cost when it will be paid, and be sure to speak to your homeowner’s insurance.  Learn as much as you can about what you’re dealing with. That way, you can feel confident that you’re hiring someone who knows exactly what he or she is doing.
