Post-Storm Response
Storms moving through Long Island can lift shingles, drive rain under flashing, and knock debris into a roof surface in a matter of minutes. The damage isn't always obvious from the ground, which is why a post-storm inspection matters even if you don't see anything wrong from the driveway — a missing ridge cap or lifted shingle tab can be invisible from the yard but still be letting water in.
We respond to storm damage calls with two priorities: stopping any active water intrusion and documenting the damage clearly, since that documentation is often what an insurance adjuster will ask to see. Getting both of those steps handled quickly and correctly puts homeowners in a much better position than waiting and hoping the damage doesn't get worse.
If a roof has active damage that's letting water in, waiting for an insurance adjuster before doing anything can make the damage significantly worse. Most policies actually expect homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which is why temporary tarping right after a storm, done and documented properly, is usually the right call rather than a complication for a claim.
Rapid installation of a protective tarp over storm-exposed roof sections to stop water intrusion while a permanent repair is scheduled.
Replacement of shingles, ridge caps, or flashing lifted or torn off by high winds, matched as closely as possible to the existing roof.
Inspection for granule loss, bruising, and cracked shingles caused by hail impact, with repair or replacement scoped to the affected area.
Repair of punctures or damaged sections caused by tree limbs or wind-blown debris striking the roof during a storm.
Photo documentation of storm damage and completed repairs, organized in a way that's useful for submitting alongside an insurance claim.
When storm damage is extensive enough to affect a large portion of the roof, a full replacement scoped and documented as storm-related work.
We gather details on the storm event, visible damage, and whether there's active water intrusion so we can prioritize the response appropriately.
We inspect the full roof surface, not just the area you can see damage on, since storm damage often affects more of the roof than is visible from ground level.
We photograph all damage found, dated and organized, before any repair work begins, giving you a clear record to use with your insurance carrier.
If needed, we tarp exposed or leaking sections immediately to prevent further water damage while the permanent repair is scheduled.
Once the scope is confirmed, we complete the repair or, for extensive damage, a full replacement, matching materials to your existing roof where repairing.
We photograph the completed work so you have before-and-after records for your insurance file and your own records.
Cost depends on the extent of the storm damage, whether it's isolated or spread across the roof, and whether decking or interior areas were also affected. Insurance coverage may apply depending on your policy and the cause of damage, which is a conversation between you and your carrier — we focus on giving you an accurate repair scope and documentation to support that process.
