How do I know if my roof has storm damage

There are a number of signs of roof damage that you can find after a severe storm moves through. 

1.  High winds can lift the shingles and break their seal that keeps them down.  To check for this I walk the roof and gently lift the edge of the shingles to see if they are loose.  Many times you can see loose shingles that have been lifted from below.

2.  High winds can also throw branches and other debris on the roof that can cause damage on impact.  To look for this I look over the surface of the shingles for signs of impact which include dents, holes and missing granuals from the surface of the shingle.

3.  Hail Damage leaves distinct marks on the shingles and the metal flashings of the roof.  If you have had large hail it is important to have a roof inspection done because many homes have plastic roof vents that could be cracked or even have holes in them that may leak that you will not be able to see from the ground.

For a free no obligation inspection give me a call at 612-328-4336
