Inspect the Roof

Walk your property and look for storm damage: missing, dented, curled, or torn shingles, debris, or discoloration. Use windows or elevated spots to check hard-to-see areas. Take notes and photos.

 

​

Check Gutters, Vents & Windows

Look for dents, loose sections, or damage around gutters, vents, and overhangs. Check windows for cracked glass, torn screens, or missing weather-stripping.

 

Survey Outdoor Areas

Inspect decks, patios, and yards for fallen branches or hail marks.

 

Look Inside the Home

Check ceilings, attics, and corners for water stains, damp spots, or leaks. Use a flashlight to spot hidden damage.

 

​

Call a Trusted Roofer

Choose a licensed, insured local contractor (avoid “storm chasers”). A pro can assess damage, provide a written estimate, and handle repairs safely.

 

​

File an Insurance Claim

Contact your insurer quickly, providing photos, notes, and your contractor’s report. Follow their process for a smooth claim.
