Storm Damage Roof Repair Across Decatur

The morning after a hailstorm, a lot of Decatur streets look the same as they did the day before. The leaves are a little thinner and a few twigs are on the sidewalk, but the roofs seem fine. Up close it can be a different story. Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles, leaving dark bruises that soften and crack over time. Wind slips under the edge of a row, bends the tabs upward and breaks the seal that held them flat, so the next rain can blow underneath. Vents and gutters pick up dents that tell you the size and direction of the hail. When we inspect after a storm, we walk each slope, check the soft metals and look in the attic for fresh staining, photographing all of it. Then comes the honest part. If the storm cost you a dozen shingles and a vent cap, that is what we quote. If the damage spreads across the roof, we explain your options, including an insurance claim. Branch strikes happen less often, yet when one has split shingles or poked through the wood, it gets photographed and mended along with the rest.
