Storm damage repair begins with a rapid roof inspection, not a sales pitch. We walk the rooftop, check the chimney flashing and the step flashing at sidewalls, and look for granule loss across the field course.
Where the ice-and-water shield has failed, the underlayment comes out with it. Old roofing felt gives way first, so we reset with synthetic underlayment. Salt-laden Hudson River air corrodes fasteners and drip edge, so we check both while the roof is open.
Water that wicks past a torn boot flashing will rot the sheathing within a season, so tarping is rarely optional. A full replacement makes more sense once the roof shows end-of-life wear and a patch buys only one more year.
What's Included
Emergency tarping the same day, anchored with battens and ring-shank nails so the cover holds through the next blow.
A rapid roof inspection of the shingle field, ridge cap, ridge vent, and every penetration on the rooftop.
Flashing repair at chimney flashing, step flashing, apron flashing, counter-flashing, and pipe flashing.
Replacement decking where rot, decay, or sag has compromised the plywood or OSB sheathing, plus tar paper that has gone brittle.
Replacement shingles matched to asphalt shingle, architectural shingle, three-tab shingle, wood shake, slate, clay tile, or concrete tile.
Low-slope sections resealed with the right membrane, whether that is TPO, EPDM, PVC membrane, modified bitumen, or a built-up roof, including parapet, coping, and scupper details.
Metal panel work, including standing-seam panel and corrugated panel, with sealant and fasteners matched to the metal.
Ventilation checks on the ridge vent and soffit vent, because trapped heat and moisture shorten the life of the insulation above the ceiling.
Photographs, measurements, and a line-item roof estimate formatted the way an insurance adjuster expects to read it.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
Missing or bruised shingles along the rake and field course after a wind event, including cedar shake that has split.
Granule loss piling up in the gutter and at the base of the downspout, which leaves the asphalt shingle open to UV degradation.
Brown stains on attic sheathing and rafters where water has wicked past the underlayment.
An ice dam forming at the eave, pushing meltwater backward under the drip edge and behind the fascia.
A soft spot or sag near the valley or ridge, a common sign that the decking has decayed and the sheathing needs replacing.
Daylight or a draft around the chimney, skylight, or vent boot after a nor'easter rolls through.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
You call 2017789628, we ask what you are seeing, and we schedule a roof inspection, usually the same day.
On the rooftop we photograph damage, test the deck and flashing, and tarp anything open to the weather.
You receive a written roof estimate that separates repair from replacement and names materials line by line.
If you file a claim, we send your adjuster measurements, photos, and a scope built to match Xactimate documentation.
The crew mends or replaces damaged sections, hand-seals penetrations, and hauls debris to the dumpster.
We clean the gutter and downspout runs, walk the finished roof with you, and send final photographs for your records.
