Storm damage & insurance questions
What should I do right after a storm hits my roof?
Stay off the roof — it's slick and often structurally compromised. Take photos of any visible damage from the ground, look for water stains inside the home, and call us for an emergency inspection. We document everything for your insurance claim and can tarp active leaks the same day.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, falling trees, and ice. Wear-and-tear and neglect are typically excluded. We prepare the damage documentation and meet your adjuster on-site so the full scope is captured the first time.
How fast can you tarp my roof after a storm?
Most emergency tarp requests in the Rochester area are completed the same day. Tarping stops further interior damage while we coordinate the permanent repair and any insurance steps.
What does hail damage actually look like on a shingle roof?
Hail typically shows up as round bruises with knocked-off granules, exposing the black asphalt mat underneath. It's often subtle from the ground but very clear up close. Our inspection report includes close-up photos so the damage is undeniable to the adjuster.
Do I have to use the contractor my insurance recommends?
No. New York homeowners are free to choose their own licensed roofer. We work directly with most major carriers and can help you navigate the claim from inspection through final payment.
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim?
Most carriers require claims within one year of the storm event, but it's best to file as soon as damage is identified — delays can complicate coverage. Schedule a free inspection right after any severe wind, hail, or ice event so the timeline is on your side.
