What to do first after a storm
In rough order of priority, before anyone starts quoting for repairs:
- 01Stay off the roof. Wet or storm-damaged roofing is slippery, unpredictable, and the single most common way homeowners get seriously hurt after a storm.
- 02Mitigate interior damage. If water is entering, place buckets under active leaks and move furniture, electronics, and rugs out of the path of water.
- 03Photograph what you can see from the ground, including displaced shingles, dented gutters, or debris. Document the scene before any temporary tarping changes it.
- 04Write down the exact date and rough time of the storm. Insurers routinely ask for this to tie the damage to a specific weather event.
- 05Do not sign any binding repair contracts until you have a written assessment with photographs. Temporary emergency tarping should be billed separately from the final roof replacement.
Common questions about storm damage to roofs
How big does hail need to be before it damages a roof?
There is no single cut-off. Smaller hail driven by strong wind can do more harm than larger hail falling straight down. An older, brittle roof will fail at a lower threshold than a newer one. Material matters too — metal dents where asphalt fractures. Because of this, a physical inspection is usually required to confirm compromised integrity.
I cannot see any damage from the ground. Is it worth an inspection?
Often yes, if a significant storm has passed over. Granule loss and hairline fractures in asphalt shingles are nearly impossible to see from the ground, but they shorten the life of the roof and can evolve into slow leaks months later.
Will my insurance cover storm damage to the roof?
That depends entirely on your specific policy, your deductible, the age of the roof, and whether the damage was caused by a distinct storm rather than general wear and tear. Documenting the date and taking early photographs will help your case regardless.
How quickly should I act?
Stopping water entry is urgent — that is what turns a simple roof repair into ruined ceilings, insulation, and potential mould. The full assessment is less time-critical, though many policies require you to report damage and mitigate further loss promptly.
