What this covers

High wind lifts shingles, peels back siding, tears off gutters and sends debris into windows. The damage may be a few missing pieces or a whole roof slope. Wind damage repair secures what is loose, replaces what is missing with matching materials, and checks the attic and walls for water that came in while the home was open.

When to call

  • Shingles, siding or shakes on the ground after a windstorm.
  • A lifted or creased edge on the roof, or siding flapping in the wind.
  • A gutter or downspout pulled away from the house.

  3. Check for waterThe attic and any wall that was open are checked with a moisture meter and dried if needed.

Questions people ask

Only a few shingles are missing. Is that urgent?

Yes, if rain is coming. Each missing shingle is an opening. Covering it is quick and prevents a ceiling leak.

Can the siding be matched?

Usually. Common siding profiles are still made, and a company can source or order matching pieces. Older or discontinued siding is harder, and the company will tell you the options.

The roof edge lifted but the shingles are still on. Is that damage?

Shingles that lifted and dropped back may have broken their seal and will lift again. The company checks the seal along the edge during the inspection.
