After a storm
Clear Answers After the Storm
After a storm, it's hard to know what you're looking at from the ground. A few missing shingles can be a quick repair. Lifted or creased shingles you can't see from the yard can let water in for months before a stain shows up on the ceiling. We check the roof and tell you what's damaged and what isn't.
You get our own estimate for the repair or replacement, which you're free to share with your insurance company if you decide to file a claim.
If a repair will do the job, we'll tell you. If the damage is widespread or your roof was already near the end of its life, we'll explain why a replacement may make more sense, and you decide.
How we work with insurance
We can tell you whether we think damage came from a storm and give you our own estimate of the work. We're roofers, not public adjusters. We don't negotiate or settle your claim, prepare it for you, or advise you on your coverage. That's between you and your insurance company. We will never offer to waive or cover your deductible.
Signs of storm damage
How to Tell if Your Roof Has Storm Damage
Check from the ground (never climb on a wet or damaged roof). If you spot any of these, request a quote.
Lifted or creased shingles
High winds can break a shingle's seal and leave a crease line. It may look fine but can no longer keep water out.
Shingle pieces in the yard
Shingle pieces, granules or bits of flashing on the lawn or driveway after a storm.
Fallen limbs or debris
Even if a branch has been removed, it can leave punctures or cracked decking behind.
Bent flashing or drip edge
Metal edges and chimney flashing that look lifted, dented or pulled away.
New leaks or ceiling stains
Drips, damp insulation or new stains after heavy rain mean water is already getting in.

Rhode Island weather
Rhode Island Storms Are Tough on Roofs
Between nor'easters, tropical storms that come up the coast and heavy winter snow, Rhode Island roofs take a beating.
Coastal wind
Wind off Narragansett Bay and the South County shore can lift and peel shingles loose.
Nor'easters
Wind-driven rain looks for any gap, especially at flashing around chimneys, walls and vents.
Snow & ice dams
Snow that melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves can back water up under the shingles.
Salt air
Near the coast, salt spray is hard on exposed metal like flashing and fasteners.

Request a free quoteHow do I know if my roof has storm damage?
From the ground, look for missing or creased shingles, shingle pieces in the yard, bent flashing or new ceiling stains. Many signs of wind damage can't be seen from below. Please don't climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We can give you our own estimate of the repair to share with your insurance company. We don't negotiate or settle claims, prepare them, or advise on coverage, and we're not public adjusters. Your claim is between you and your insurance company.
Will you cover or waive my insurance deductible?
No. Your deductible is part of your insurance policy, and offering to waive or absorb it can be illegal. We won't do it, and you should be cautious of any contractor who offers to.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
That's your call. Many homeowners do both. Check your policy and your insurer's claim process. We can help you understand what's actually damaged and what a repair would involve.
Can my roof be repaired, or do I need a new one?
It depends on how widespread the damage is and the age of your roof. Isolated damage can often be repaired. If damage covers large areas or the roof was already worn out, a replacement may make more sense. We'll explain the options and you decide.
What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?
Move valuables away from the leak, catch the water and take photos. Stay out of any room where the ceiling is sagging. Then request a quote and tell us it's urgent in the notes.
