STORM DAMAGE

ROOF INSPECTION AFTER STORM

If your home needs roof repairs as a result of hurricane damage or a bad storm, it’s important to take a step back and assess the extent of the damage to your home’s roof and exterior. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, and storms with high winds can cause significant damage to your home. It is important to make all necessary repairs to a damaged roof as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the structure of the home.

STORM DAMAGE ROOF RESTORATION

Residential storm damage restoration is the process of repairing and revitalizing your home’s roof, eaves, gutters and downspouts that have been damaged from storms or natural disasters. The goal of residential roof restoration is to restore your roof and home’s exterior to its former state.
STORM DAMAGE ROOF REPLACEMENT

Roof replacements after hail storms are fairly common. It is important to take immediate action if your roof experienced wind damage or hail damage. Be sure to inspect your roof and exterior for damage and document with notes, photos and videos using the storm damage checklist below. It is best to hire a professional roof replacement company to handle the repair work. They will have the equipment and expertise to properly assess the damage and make necessary repairs to restore your roof to its pre-storm condition.

STORM DAMAGE CHECKLIST

Storm damage can majorly disrupt your life, especially if you’ve been affected by a natural disaster. Before you begin to facilitate repairs and clean up the aftermath, it’s important to take a step back and assess your current situation.

ROOF

Visually assess your roof by walking around the perimeter of your house and taking note of any visible storm damage. You might also have a good view of parts of your roof from one of your windows. Keep a list of notes and/or take pictures — this can potentially be helpful later for insurance purposes. Any visible signs of storm damage should be documented, such as dented, torn, curled, or missing shingles.

Visually assess your roof

Check from windows

GUTTERS, VENTS, AND WINDOWS

Check for dents on your home’s gutters.
Check for damage on your home’s roofing accessories, such as gable vents and other overhangs.
Windows should be inspected for cracks, broken glass, loose weather-stripping, and torn screens.

Windows

OUTSIDE AREAS

Walk around your home’s exterior and look for fallen tree limbs, missing fence posts, or damage to lawn furniture and other decorations. Flat surfaces, such as patios and decks, can be checked for hail damage.

Outside Areas

ATTICS AND CEILINGS

While your home’s roof might appear undamaged on the exterior, wind and hail can cause unseen leaks that may lead to bigger problems later. Ceilings and light fixtures should all be inspected for water leaks and spots. Your attic should be inspected for water leaks and spots as well. Use a flashlight to see in dark areas.

Interviewed 3 companies. Findlay was more through with their review and explanation. While they were slightly higher we felt more confident in their work. Plus we’ve used them in the past to redo our roof and were very happy with the finished product.

Austin with Findlay Roofing took care of a roof and some siding on a house just months before we ended up selling. The new house needed some ventilation work on a detached garage and hew was able to promptly get out and get that taken care of as well. Thanks to Austin and everyone else I worked with at Findlay. Great group of people I highly recommend.

The Findlay Roofing expert came to my house and let me know that he estimated I had about 8 more years on my 10 year old roof. He only recommended sealing a few areas to ensure no leaks. I expected a roofing company would try to sell me a new roof, I was pleasantly surprised.

– Saundra W.

Heath was a pleasure to work with!. He was very patient and thorough in his assessment of my roof probem. The process went smoothly from begigining to completion. The repair crew showed up and completed the job as scheduled. I will use Findlay Roofing again and would recommend them to friends and family

– Daryl M.

Team at Findlay did a very nice job replacing my roof and in a bit of a time crunch due to some issues we were having with our insurance provider. Jason did an excellent job facilitating the work, making sure there were no loose ends and everything was communicated correctly back to our insurance provider.

– Dave E.

Excellent work, I am very please with Findlay’s work!

– Charles W.

A special thanks to your guy who did the work. I was unable to be home to show him what to do. He did very well, and even the dogs liked him.

– Rick R.

Findlay did a great job on my roof and were great to work with throughout the process and were cheaper (but with good products) than the other 3 quotes. They were the first to respond to my request for a quote, first to get out to see the job and make a quote, able to do the job almost immediately and did a really great job. They also arranged a carpenter to repair soffits and fascia. And, they completed a full big roof – new wood and shingles in one day.
