Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Lakewood 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 Lakewood, SC carriers typically review claims.
We scope the repair to match what actually happened during the storm, not a generic estimate.
Gutters torn loose by wind are reattached and resloped as part of a full storm damage visit.
Describe what happened and what you're seeing, and we'll get an inspection scheduled.
Technicians check every slope, not just the side most visibly affected by the storm.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
Repairs are scheduled and completed to manufacturer spec, with documentation ready for your adjuster if you're filing a claim.
