After the Storm

What Storm Damage Looks Like

The Midlands gets hit twice a year: hail season peaks April through June, and tropical systems push inland August through October. Most storm damage is invisible from the ground.

Hail Bruising

Hail leaves soft, dark bruises where it knocks the granules off shingles. You usually can't see it from the driveway, but it shortens the roof's life and voids its water protection.

Wind-Lifted & Creased Shingles

Strong gusts lift shingles and crease them at the nail line. They may lay back down and look fine, but the seal is broken and the next storm peels them off.

Missing Shingles

Shingles in the yard after a storm are the obvious sign. Every missing shingle is an open path for water to reach the decking underneath.

Fallen Limbs & Impact Damage

Tree limbs crack shingles and can fracture the decking below, even when the roof looks intact from outside. Impact zones need to be checked from above and in the attic.

New Leaks After a Storm

A ceiling stain that appeared after a storm is storm damage until proven otherwise, and that timing matters for your insurance claim. Document it early.

Dented Gutters & Vents

Dents in gutters, downspouts, and roof vents are evidence adjusters look for. If the metal took hail, the shingles almost certainly did too.

How It Works

How the Insurance Claim Process Works

Filing a roof claim feels intimidating the first time. It shouldn't be. We have walked hundreds of Midlands homeowners through it, and we handle the parts that trip people up: the documentation, the scope of damage, and the conversation with the adjuster.

And if the damage doesn't justify a claim, we will tell you that too. Filing a claim that comes in under your deductible helps no one.

What Does Storm Damage Repair Cost?

Often just your deductible

When storm damage is covered by your homeowners policy, your out-of-pocket cost is typically your deductible, and insurance covers the rest of the approved repair or replacement.

If the damage is minor and a claim doesn't make sense, storm repairs price like any other repair: most fall between $650 and $3,000, with a free written estimate before any work starts.

We document everything with photos, so whether you file or not, you have a dated record of your roof's condition.

Timing Matters

Why You Shouldn't Wait After a Storm

Storm damage gets worse quietly. A bruised shingle sheds the rest of its granules over the following months, a creased shingle peels off in the next wind event, and a slow leak rots decking long before it stains a ceiling. The repair that would have been covered by insurance becomes wear-and-tear that isn't.

There is also a clock on the claim itself. Most policies set a time limit for filing storm-related claims, and the further you get from the storm date, the harder it is to tie the damage to the event. A free inspection right after the storm gives you dated photo documentation, whether you file now, later, or never.

One more thing worth knowing: after big Midlands hail events, out-of-town storm chasers flood the neighborhoods, knock doors, and disappear when the warranty work comes due. We're at 125 Queen Pkwy in West Columbia, and we'll still be here next storm season.

Common Questions

Storm Damage & Insurance FAQs

Questions Columbia-area homeowners ask us most after a storm.

Storm damage is often invisible from the ground. Hail leaves soft bruises and knocks granules off shingles, and wind can lift or crease shingles without tearing them off. If a storm has passed through your area, the only way to know for sure is a professional inspection, which we provide free with full photo documentation.
Most homeowners policies cover roof damage caused by wind, hail, and fallen trees. What you pay out of pocket is typically your deductible. We document the damage thoroughly, help you understand whether a claim makes sense, and work directly with your adjuster.
Not always, and an honest contractor will tell you when a claim is not worth it. If the repair cost is close to your deductible, paying out of pocket may be smarter. We give you a free assessment and real numbers first so you can make that call with full information.
Most policies set a time limit for filing storm-related claims, often one year from the date of the storm, but it varies by policy. If you suspect damage, get an inspection soon after the storm so the damage is documented and dated while you still have time to file.
Yes. We can be on site when your adjuster inspects the roof to make sure all the damage we documented gets seen and considered. Having your contractor and the adjuster look at the same evidence together usually makes the process smoother and faster.
