After a storm, the order of operations matters: document, get a real assessment, and never sign with whoever knocks first. Insurance covers storm damage, not wear, and shingle wind warranties quietly stop at 15 years.
What to do first when a storm hits your roof, how to tell real hail and wind damage from a sales pitch, when an insurance claim makes sense, and what blowing shingles actually mean.
Roofs don't leak because materials are bad; they leak because they were installed incorrectly. When and how it leaks is diagnostic: every rain, only long rains, or only sideways storms each point to a different problem.
If the pitch starts with what insurance will pay instead of what your roof needs, you've met a salesman, not a roofer. The tells are consistent: no straight price, pressure to sign at the door, and insurance that turns out to have exclusions.
We're here to see what's going on with your roof. A real assessment starts with your history and your attic, not a number from the driveway. You'll get a straight answer about what's up there, what it needs, and what it costs. Sometimes the honest answer is: your roof looks great.
