Storm damage is exterior damage caused by severe weather such as hail, high wind, falling limbs, wind-driven rain, or debris impact.
Why It Matters
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. A roof or exterior system can look mostly normal while still having damaged shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, or siding.
Common Problems
Common issues include missed hail impacts, wind-lifted shingles, damaged pipe boots, dented gutters, torn siding, and incomplete insurance scopes.
Building Codes & Industry Standards
Storm-related repairs should still follow applicable code, manufacturer instructions, and proper installation standards. Damage documentation should be clear and factual.
