What Wind Damage Looks LikeSEC 01 / 07

Wind damage is often worse than it looks.

High winds and tornadoes don't just take shingles, they break the roof's seal and force water in. A lot of the damage isn't visible from the driveway, which is exactly why it gets missed.

Lifted & creased shingles

Wind lifts and creases shingles, breaking their seal even when they don't blow off. The damage is often invisible from the ground.

Missing & torn-off sections

Stronger gusts strip shingles or whole sections off the deck, leaving the underlayment and decking exposed to the next rain.

Downed limbs & debris impact

Wind brings down branches and flying debris that puncture the roof, dent siding, and break gutters and vents.

Siding & trim damage

The same wind that hits the roof cracks, loosens, and tears off siding panels, corners, and trim, part of the same claim.

Gutters & flashing torn loose

Wind pulls gutters off the fascia and lifts flashing at edges and chimneys, opening paths for water behind the exterior.

Water intrusion & leaks

Once the seal is broken, water gets into the attic, ceilings, and walls. Catching it fast is the difference between a repair and a remodel.

Emergency Response FirstSEC 02 / 07
Buckshot emergency roof repair after storm damage

We secure the house first, paperwork second.

When wind has opened up your roof, the priority is stopping more water from getting in. Our 24/7 emergency response handles that before anything else:

  • Emergency tarping to cover exposed roof and stop water entering the home.
  • Water mitigation to limit interior damage once the envelope is breached.
  • Secure loose materials, hanging shingles, panels, and debris that pose a hazard.
  • Then we document everything for your insurance claim, the repair follows the emergency work.
How The Claim WorksSEC 03 / 07
From Storm To Repaired

We handle the claim, you handle the deductible.

Wind and tornado damage is covered under most homeowner policies, but only when it's documented properly. We've done this for 47 years, with any carrier, and we make it straightforward.

Secure & inspect

We tarp anything urgent, then inspect the full exterior, roof, siding, gutters.

Document for the claim

We photograph and document all wind damage in the format your adjuster needs.

Meet the adjuster

We walk the damage with your adjuster so nothing legitimate gets left out.

Repair to spec

Once approved, our own crews complete the repair and finish the job.

Wind & Tornado Damage FAQSEC 06 / 07
Storm damage?
24/7 emergency · free inspection
Q.01What should I do right after wind or tornado damage?+
Stay safe and keep clear of downed lines and unstable structures. If water is coming in or the roof is exposed, call us 24/7, we'll tarp and secure the home to stop further damage, then document everything for your claim. Take photos if you safely can. Emergency response →
Q.02Is wind and tornado damage covered by insurance?+
Wind is one of the most commonly covered perils, most homeowner policies cover wind and tornado damage when it's documented properly. We inspect and document the full exterior and include it in the adjuster scope. You typically pay only your deductible. Coverage is determined by your insurer. How the claim works →
Q.03Do I really have damage if I can't see missing shingles?+
Possibly. Wind often lifts and creases shingles, breaking their seal without blowing them off, damage that's hard to see from the ground but still lets water in. A free inspection tells you for certain before a small problem becomes a leak.
Q.04How fast can you get here after a storm?+
For active emergencies, water coming in or an exposed roof, we respond 24/7. For non-urgent inspections we respond to requests within 2 hours during business hours and schedule promptly.
Q.05Should I file the claim before or after you look?+
It's often best to have us inspect first so you know what you're dealing with and the damage is documented. We'll walk you through the claim either way and work directly with your adjuster. Insurance claims →
Q.06How is this different from hail damage?+
Wind damage is usually sudden and structural, lifted or missing shingles, torn sections, downed limbs, while hail tends to leave bruising and dents that need close inspection. Many storms bring both, and we document all of it together. Hail damage →
