Wind and hail repairs
Storm Damage Roof Repair for Lilburn Homes
Wind breaks the seal on a shingle long before it tears it off. We catch that stage and fix it.
Wind Damage Is Quiet at First
Most wind damage does not look like much. A gust gets under a row of shingles, bends them up and breaks the sticky strip that holds them down. They settle back. From the yard, the roof looks fine. But the next hard rain drives water under those loose tabs, and the one after that, until the decking is soaked and a stain appears inside. Hail works differently. It knocks granules off, bruises the mat underneath and dents the soft metal. Both get worse with time. Our storm inspection looks for exactly these signs: creased tabs, unsealed rows, popped nails, bruised spots, dented vents and bent drip edge. We photograph each one. Then you get a straight answer. Small damage gets a written repair quote. Wide damage gets packaged for an insurance claim if you choose to file. Fallen limbs are less common, but if one has cracked shingles or punctured the decking, we document and fix that too. Either way, you fix it while it is still a small job.

Soft spots and bare patches where granules were knocked loose.

Fasteners pushed up through the shingle above.
Limb strikes
Less common, but cracked shingles and holes from branches.

Did That Last Storm Get Your Roof?
If it was windy enough to bend trees, it was windy enough to lift shingles. Have a look up top before the next rain.
