Navigating Your Insurance Claim
Filing a storm damage insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially right after a major storm. We help make the process easier by inspecting your roof promptly, documenting every area of damage with detailed photos, and providing a written scope of work that matches what your insurance adjuster will be looking for. In many cases, we can meet with your adjuster on-site to walk through the damage together. Our goal is to make sure your claim reflects the true extent of the damage, so your repair or replacement is fully covered and completed correctly the first time.
What to Do Immediately After a Storm
After severe weather passes, avoid getting on your roof yourself. From the ground, look for missing or displaced shingles, dented gutters or vents, and debris on the roof. Check your attic for any signs of new leaks. If you notice significant damage or an active leak, call us right away, we offer emergency tarping to prevent further water intrusion while we prepare your full repair plan. Taking a few photos from the ground for your own records is helpful, but leave the detailed inspection and insurance documentation to our team.
Why Storm Damage Often Goes Unnoticed
Not all storm damage is obvious from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles without knocking them loose, wind can lift and reseal shingles in a way that weakens them without leaving a visible gap, and debris impacts can crack a shingle’s protective coating without punching all the way through. These types of damage often don’t cause a leak right away, but they shorten the lifespan of your roof and can allow water intrusion months or even years later. That’s why we recommend a professional inspection after any significant hail or wind event in Grand Rapids, even if your roof looks fine from the driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond after a storm?
We prioritize storm damage calls and aim to inspect affected roofs as quickly as possible, often within a day or two of a major weather event.
Will you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We document the damage thoroughly and can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to help make sure your claim is accurate and complete.
Do you offer emergency tarping?
Yes. If your roof has active damage, we can install emergency tarping to prevent further water intrusion while we finalize your repair plan.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Bruised or cracked shingles, dented gutters, and damaged vents are common signs. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm hail damage.
Will insurance cover a full roof replacement after a storm?
If the damage is extensive enough that repair isn’t sufficient, most homeowners insurance policies will cover a full replacement. We can help document the damage to support your claim.
