  • Dents or punctures from branches or debris
  • Water stains on ceilings or attic walls
  • Loose flashing or damaged vents

A: Most homeowner policies cover storm-related roof damage. Our team can help you navigate the claim process from inspection to replacement.

Q: How soon after a storm should I call for an inspection?
