Trustworthy Storm Damage Roof Repair
After bad weather, solicitors may visit your neighborhood, claiming that area roofs have sustained severe damage and need immediate replacement.
While this situation may be true in some cases, such storm chasers often offer substandard roofing materials and workmanship for an attractive, low price. You’ll never have to worry about unfair practices with Division 1 Roofing, as our roofing experts operate with integrity when assessing damage.
Many hailstorms produce significant damage, but changes in wind speed and the storm’s path can leave one home untouched while the roof on another has extensive damage.
Several other factors can affect how much damage your roof may sustain, including the composition of roofing materials, the roof’s age, the size and density of hailstones, and natural barriers such as trees and landscaping.
Some signs of significant hail that necessitate roof storm damage repair include:
- Random pits with no discernable pattern
- Hail hits that are black or soft to the touch
- Loss of shingle granules
- Shiny areas
- Split shingles
- Impact marks along splits
Various types of damage to shingles can mimic hail damage, including regular exposure to inclement weather and sunlight, which can make shingles brittle. However, this type of damage is normal. Other normal wear and tear can include blistering, cracking, flaking, algae, and manufacturing imperfections.
High winds from thunderstorms, tornadoes, straight-line events, microbursts, and more can damage your home, including the roof. When high winds hit your roof, shingles can loosen or fall off.
Even new roofs can experience such damage if the wind speed is high enough. High winds make roofs susceptible to damage because they don’t hit these surfaces evenly. Winds tend to damage roof edges or areas where materials are already loose.
These situations necessitate a thorough inspection to assess roof storm damage properly. Our specialists will take the time to find problems and give you sound solutions.
