What storm damage repair Involves
Storm damage repair starts with rapid response—often the same day you call. We arrive, assess the damage from the ground and the roof, and stop the immediate leak with emergency tarping. That tarp is your first line of defense against water wicking into the decking or seeping through ceiling drywall.
The permanent repair involves a full tear-off of damaged shingles, inspection of the decking for rot or sag, and replacement of any compromised boards. We reinstall with self-adhered ice-and-water shield in the valleys and eaves, then lay new shingles—GAF or Owens Corning, both insurance-approved—using ring-shank nails for pull-out resistance. Starter course and field course go down in staggered courses so water has no straight path to the deck.
We also document everything for your claim: photos, measurements, and a detailed Xactimate estimate that matches what the adjuster expects to see. That documentation is what gets your claim approved without a fight.
Signs You Need storm damage repair
After a storm, walk your property and look for these signs:
- Missing or curling shingles—especially on the windward side of the roof.
- Granules in the gutters—that's the protective coating eroding off the shingles.
- Sudden interior water staining on ceilings or walls, often near a chimney or valley.
- Tree branches or debris on the roof, or visible impact marks from hail.
- A damp attic or a musty smell that wasn't there before.
If you see any of these, call us. Water that seeps into the decking will rot it from the inside out, and the longer you wait, the more the damage spreads.
Our storm damage repair Process
Our process is built for the chaos of a storm event. Here's how it works:
- Rapid response. You call 9086630781, and we dispatch a crew within hours—not days. We tarp the roof to stop the leak, and board up windows if needed.
- Documentation. We photograph every piece of damage, from the shingles to the decking to the interior stains. This becomes your insurance claim's evidence.
- Adjuster coordination. We meet your insurance adjuster on-site, walk them through the damage, and make sure they see what we see. No surprises, no underpayment.
- Permanent repair. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the full repair—tear-off, decking replacement if needed, new underlayment, and shingles. We clean up with a magnetic nail sweep so your yard is safe for kids and pets.
That's it. No runaround, no vague timelines.
Cost Considerations in Hillsborough
Storm damage repair costs in Hillsborough typically range from $350 to $1,200 per square (100 square feet of roof), depending on the extent of the damage and the shingle grade you choose. A simple repair—replacing a few shingles and resealing flashing—might run $500 to $1,500. A full roof replacement after a hailstorm can run $8,000 to $18,000 for a typical 2,000-square-foot home.
Your insurance policy usually covers storm damage, minus your deductible. We don't price-gouge on emergency work—our estimate is free, and we'll work with your adjuster to make sure the repair is fully covered.
Warranty & Insurance
New shingles come with a manufacturer warranty—GAF offers a 25- to 50-year limited warranty depending on the line, and Owens Corning offers similar coverage. We register your warranty for you, so you're covered if a defect shows up later. For the insurance side, we handle the claim from start to finish: we document, we coordinate with your adjuster, and we make sure the repair meets code. You don't pay until the work is done and you're satisfied.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
Active Leak During Storm
Water dripping from your ceiling or running down interior walls means the roof is compromised. We tarp it same-day to stop the damage from spreading.
Missing Shingle Sections
High winds in Hillsborough can peel shingles off in patches, especially on older roofs. If you see bare decking, that's an emergency—water will soak into the wood fast.
Tree Impact
A fallen branch or tree can punch a hole through shingles and decking. Even if it looks small, the structural damage underneath can be severe.
Hail Strike Marks
Hail dents in shingles look like dark spots or bruising. Over time, those spots erode and let water seep into the roof deck.
Sudden Interior Staining
A brown or yellow stain on your ceiling that wasn't there yesterday means water is already wicking through the roof layers. Quick action prevents rot and mold.
Ice Dam Damage
In winter, ice dams at the eaves force water under the shingles and into the attic. If you see water stains after a thaw, the roof needs repair before the next storm.
