Emergency Roof Repair
When a storm tears shingles off your roof or a branch comes through the ceiling, the first call you ...
Southern Indiana’s storm season hits hard. High winds lift and tear shingles, exposing the underlayment and decking to rain. Hail cracks shingles and knocks protective granules loose, shortening the roof’s lifespan even if the damage is not immediately visible. Falling branches punch through roofing material and damage flashing. Heavy rain driven by wind finds every gap and weak point in the system.
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. Hail impact can bruise shingles without visibly cracking them, and wind can loosen nails and break seals between shingle layers without tearing them off completely. That is why a professional inspection after any significant storm is the safest way to know if your roof was affected.
Every storm damage repair starts with a free inspection. We get on the roof and document all damage with photos, including areas that may not be visible from the ground. You get an honest assessment of what needs to be repaired and a written estimate with transparent pricing.
If your damage is covered by insurance, we help you through the entire claims process. We provide the documentation your insurance company needs, work directly with your adjuster, and make sure nothing is missed. Once the claim is approved, our crews make the repairs using the right materials and techniques to restore your roof’s integrity. We do not cut corners, and we do not push you into work you do not need.
Bloomington’s severe weather season typically runs from April through June, bringing thunderstorms with high winds, hail, and heavy rain. But storm damage can happen any time of year. Winter ice storms bring down branches and create ice dams, and fall storms can be just as destructive as anything in spring. The heavy tree canopy across Bloomington’s older neighborhoods adds another risk factor, as falling limbs and debris cause direct damage to roofs during and after storms.

Start by documenting the damage with photos from the ground if you can do so safely. Contact your insurance company to open a claim. Then schedule a professional roof inspection to get a detailed assessment and documentation of all damage, including issues not visible from ground level. Your insurance company will send an adjuster to evaluate the claim. We help with every step of this process, from documentation through adjuster meetings, to make sure nothing is missed.
Storm damage includes any roof damage caused by wind, hail, rain, falling trees, or flying debris. Specific examples include missing or torn shingles, hail impact marks on shingles (including granule loss), lifted or separated flashing, punctures from fallen branches, and water intrusion caused by wind-driven rain. Even damage that is not visible from the ground, like hail bruising or loosened nail seals, counts as storm damage.
Yes, in most cases. If a storm caused the damage that led to the leak, your homeowner’s insurance should cover the repair. The key is proving that the damage was caused by a specific storm event rather than long-term wear or neglect. We document storm damage with detailed photos and a written assessment that provides your insurance company with what they need to process the claim.
Avoid making statements that downplay the damage or suggest the roof was already in poor condition before the storm. Do not agree to a settlement on the spot without having the damage professionally assessed. Do not sign anything from a contractor before your claim is processed. And do not exaggerate or misrepresent the damage, as this can jeopardize your claim entirely. Having a professional inspection and documentation before the adjuster arrives puts you in the strongest position.
It depends on the extent of the damage. If the storm damaged a large portion of your roof, a full replacement may be warranted and your insurance may cover it. If the damage is limited to a specific area, a targeted repair is usually the better and more cost-effective option. We inspect the full roof after storm damage and give you an honest recommendation on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Professional roofing crews monitor weather forecasts closely and plan their work accordingly. If rain is expected, we make sure any exposed sections of the roof are covered with tarps or that the underlayment is installed before stopping work. The goal is to never leave your home exposed overnight. If an unexpected storm rolls in during the job, protecting your home from water entry is the immediate priority.
