Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Onawa storm event includes.
Hail damage often shows as bruised or missing granules rather than obvious cracks, and it's easy to miss from the ground.
High wind can lift or tear shingles without leaving an obvious gap, weakening the seal until the next storm finishes the job.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
We document storm damage with photos and measurements formatted for how Onawa, IA carriers typically review claims.
Once damage is documented, we move to repair — targeted fixes for isolated damage, full sections where needed.
Gutters torn loose by wind are reattached and resloped as part of a full storm damage visit.
Storm damage assessments move a little slower than a routine repair call, since documentation quality matters for your claim.
We check for hail bruising, lifted shingles, and debris impact across the full roof.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
We follow up to make sure the repair holds through the next storm season.
