Storm damage covers a range of issues — here's what falls under our Storm Damage Roof Repair service.
We check every slope methodically for impact marks that could compromise the shingle's remaining lifespan.
High wind can lift or tear shingles without leaving an obvious gap, weakening the seal until the next storm finishes the job.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
We document storm damage with photos and measurements formatted for how Waukegan, IL carriers typically review claims.
Once damage is documented, we move to repair — targeted fixes for isolated damage, full sections where needed.
Gutters torn loose by wind are reattached and resloped as part of a full storm damage visit.
Describe what happened and what you're seeing, and we'll get an inspection scheduled.
