Wind Damage Roof Restoration
Shingles ripped off, soffit damage, or roof breach from severe wind event.
High-wind events (50mph+ gusts, microbursts, or hurricane-remnant systems) commonly produce shingle damage that allows water penetration. The damage is often on the back/leeward side and not visible from ground.
First-hour checklist
- 1
Don't climb on the roof yourself - storm damage may have compromised structural elements.
- 2
Document any visible damage from ground level.
- 3
Place buckets under any active interior leaks.
- 4
Call us at 240-291-8439 for emergency tarp.

Signs: shingles in the yard, water stains on interior ceilings (sometimes days later), increased attic insulation moisture, missing/damaged ridge vent. Drone inspection is often the safest assessment.
On a $400k home, a 2% deductible = $8,000 out of pocket before insurance pays. Significantly higher than typical $1,000 flat deductible. Worth checking BEFORE you have a claim.
