Storm Damage Repair in Frederick, MD
Storm damage isn’t always easy to see from the ground. Strong summer thunderstorms can lift or tear off shingles, bend flashing, and push water under the roof, where it slowly turns into a leak. Hail can bruise shingles and knock off the granules that protect them from the sun. Even when a roof looks fine, this kind of damage can shorten its life.
Our storm damage roof repair starts with a full look at your shingles, flashing, vents, and gutters. Then we explain what we found and what needs to be fixed. If the damage is limited, a targeted repair is usually enough. For leaks and wear that aren’t from a storm, see our roof repair services.
Types of Storm Damage We Repair
Wind Damage Roof Repair
High winds can lift shingles, break the seal that holds them down, or tear them off completely. Once a shingle is gone, water can get under the roof the next time it rains. Our wind damage roof repair includes replacing missing or lifted shingles, resealing loose ones, and checking the flashing around vents and chimneys. If wind has loosened the flashing around your chimney, we can reflash it as part of our chimney maintenance service.
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail damage often shows up as dark spots or soft dents on shingles where the granules have been knocked off. Over time, those spots wear out faster and can start to leak. Our hail damage roof repair includes checking for bruised shingles and granule loss, replacing damaged shingles, and fixing dented vents and flashing. Hail can dent gutters too. If yours are damaged, we can replace them with new aluminum gutters through our gutter installation service.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
Sometimes a storm causes more damage than a repair can fix, or it hits a roof that was already near the end of its life. When that happens, a full storm damage roof replacement is the better long-term choice. As a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster Charter Member since 1998, we install CertainTeed roofing systems built for our local weather. Learn more about our full roof replacement process, or see all of our residential roofing services.
Emergency Roof Tarping
If a storm leaves part of your roof open, the first step is to cover it. Emergency roof tarping keeps rain out and protects your home from more water damage until the permanent repair is done. You can call us any time. Our team answers 24/7 and will schedule a crew as soon as possible during our working hours, Monday through Friday, 8 to 5pm.
