Storm Damage Roof Repair in Brookhaven

Hail does not always leave holes. Most of the time it leaves bruises: soft spots where the granules got knocked loose and the mat underneath cracked. From the ground the roof looks fine. Two summers later the bruises are leaks. Wind works differently. It lifts shingle tabs, breaks the seal strip and sometimes lays them back down so neatly you would never guess. The next big gust takes them off. That is why a storm inspection is done on the roof, not from a ladder at the gutter. We walk each slope, mark hail strikes with chalk, count them inside a test square and photograph them next to a scale. We check vents, pipe boots, ridge cap, drip edge and gutters for dents and splits. Fallen limbs are less common, but when one comes down we look at the decking under the impact too. When we are done you get a photo set organized by slope and a plain answer: minor repair, larger repair or full replacement. If it is a claim, those photos go in your file and we take it from there with your adjuster.
