Suwanee Storm Damage Roof Repair

Is your roof damaged if it looks fine from the driveway? Quite possibly. Hail rarely punches holes in shingles. Instead it knocks off the protective granules and bruises the layer underneath, leaving dark spots that soften and crack over the following seasons. Wind is sneakier still. A strong gust can lift a row of shingles, crease them and break the adhesive strip that holds them flat, then let them settle back down looking almost normal. The next driving rain finds the gap. So what do we check? Each slope for bruises, creases, unsealed rows and missing pieces. The vents, gutters and metal edges, because dents there reveal how big the hail was. The attic, for any fresh dampness. We photograph all of it and then sit down to explain what we saw. Limited damage means a written estimate for just those areas. If it is widespread, we talk through whether an insurance claim makes sense. Tree limbs cause trouble less often, but when one has cracked shingles or broken through, we include that too.
