Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Sumerco storm event includes.
We check every slope methodically for impact marks that could compromise the shingle's remaining lifespan.
High wind can lift or tear shingles without leaving an obvious gap, weakening the seal until the next storm finishes the job.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
We document storm damage with photos and measurements formatted for how Sumerco, WV carriers typically review claims.
Once damage is documented, we move to repair — targeted fixes for isolated damage, full sections where needed.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Describe what happened and what you're seeing, and we'll get an inspection scheduled.
