Storm Damage Roof Repair in Mobile
Storm damage roof repair in Mobile finds what the wind, the hail and the flying debris did to your roof, documents it, and then repairs it.
A storm rarely leaves a single neat hole. It lifts a run of shingles here, bruises a slope there and bends the "flashing", the metal at the chimney, the walls and the edges, and much of it is not visible from the ground. So the job starts on the roof, slope by slope, with a camera, before anyone talks about a price.
When the damage is written up, we repair it with materials that match the roof you have, and the whole job is quoted before we start. For a roof meant to stand up to high wind and wind-driven rain, the FORTIFIED Home (IBHS) standard is the reference.
Storm Damage We Repair
Storms lift shingle and tile courses, break the "sealant bond" between shingles, bruise shingles with hail, crack tile and punch holes with debris. These are the parts of storm damage roof repair work we do, grouped by what hit the roof.
-
Wind
Corners can see two to three times the uplift of the rest of the roof, so that is where we look first.
After a wind storm, we repair:
- Lifted shingles and broken seals
- Bent flashing and edge metal
- Blown-out soffits
-
Hail
Hail can dent or bruise shingles and weaken the roofing, often without a mark you can see from the yard.
After a hail storm, we repair:
- Hail bruises and dents
- Shingles the hail weakened
-
Limbs and debris
Fallen branches and windblown debris crack tile, puncture roofing and damage the flashing.
After the limbs come down, we repair:
- Punctures from debris
- Cracked or missing tile
Damage You Cannot See From the Ground
Storm damage is often not visible from the ground, so we check a roof after severe weather even when nothing looks wrong from the yard.
A broken seal, a bruised shingle or a cracked tile can sit quietly until the next heavy rain finds it, and by then the water has reached the deck. A roof should be looked at once a year and after severe weather, and on the Gulf coast that second part comes around often.
When a tropical storm is working up the Gulf, the National Hurricane Center (NOAA) posts the forecasts and advisories.
Photo Documentation for the Insurer
We photograph the damage and write it up so the storm's damage is kept apart from the wear the roof already had, and it goes in this order:
- We walk every slope. Shingles, tile, flashing, the edge metal or "drip edge", and the soffits, with the corners and edges first.
- We photograph each hit. Lifted courses, hail bruises, punctures and bent metal, each one where it sits on the roof.
- We write it up. The report separates storm damage from the wear that was there before, which is what an insurance report should do.
- We photograph the repair. Before and after, with the layers under the roofing recorded while they are open.
How Storm Damage Repair Is Priced
Storm damage repair is priced by how much of the roof is damaged, what it is made of and how hard it is to get onto, and your insurer decides what it pays.
Price moves with the roof's size and pitch, the number of stories, how complicated it is, the materials, and any damage we find underneath once the roofing comes up. A few lifted tabs is a small fix; a punctured deck or a run of cracked tile is a bigger one.
The insurer, not the roofer, decides coverage, approval and payment. We put no number on a roof we have not stood on: the exact price comes from the free estimate, in writing, before any work.
Free, no-obligation, and the whole job quoted before we start.

Other Storm Damage Questions
The questions below sit beside a storm repair, and each one links to the page that answers it in full.
Insurance and Storm Damage
Insurance usually covers damage from storms and other sudden events, not normal wear, and our insurance claim guide explains how a claim works from start to finish. The written report that keeps storm damage apart from old wear is the part we hand you for it.
roof insurance claimStorm damage roof questions
What to do if you have roof damage from a storm?
Stay off the roof and have it checked, even if it looks fine from the ground, because storm damage often is not visible from there. Get the damage photographed and written up before anything is repaired, so the record separates the storm's damage from older wear. Then call us for a free estimate.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage from a storm?
Insurance usually covers damage from storms or sudden events, not normal wear. The insurer, not the roofer, decides coverage, approval and payment, so call your insurer soon after the storm and ask how your policy treats roof damage. What gets covered is explained in our guide to a roof insurance claim.
What not to say to insurance adjuster about roof?
Don't guess at what caused each spot of damage or how old it is. Let the photos and the written report speak, since a good report separates storm damage from the wear the roof already had, and the insurer decides what it covers from there. Our guide to a roof insurance claim walks through the rest.
How long do you have to claim roof damage after a storm?
Your policy sets that window, not the roofer, so look it up in the policy or ask your agent. The Alabama Department of Insurance is the state's insurance regulator and offers consumer help with homeowners insurance. Our guide to a roof insurance claim explains how a claim works.
Storm hit the roof?
Call us and tell us what the storm did. We get on the roof, photograph the damage, write it up and put the repair price in writing before any work starts.
Monday to Sunday, morning to evening. Calls outside those hours go to voicemail and we return them the next working morning.
We show up when we say we will. When we give you a time to look at the roof, that is when the ladder goes up.
