After a hurricane, tropical storm or a strong summer squall, we inspect your roof for free, photograph every damaged area for your insurance claim, tarp anything that's open, and repair or replace with wind-rated materials built for the Lowcountry coast.
This service is part of our Charleston roof repair services. Homeowners who need it often ask about roof leak detection, roof coatings and resurfacing or a free roof inspection with photos at the same time, so we price and plan them together.
Storm damage that's easy to miss
Not all wind damage is a missing shingle you can see from the street. Shingles can be lifted and resealed crooked, breaking the factory seal strip so the next storm peels them off. Ridge caps crack. Metal panels loosen at the fasteners. Flashing pulls away from walls. Granule loss and dented vents tell part of the story. A close inspection with photos is the only way to know what the storm actually did.
Our storm response

- Emergency tarp or dry-in where the roof is open.
- A written scope of repairs or replacement your adjuster can review.

Watch out for storm chasers
After big storms, out-of-state crews knock on doors across Charleston, Mount Pleasant and the islands. Before signing anything, confirm the contractor holds a South Carolina license, carries insurance, and will be around to honor the workmanship warranty. Never sign over your insurance check before work is done.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Look for shingles in the yard, missing or creased shingles, exposed nail heads, granules piling up at downspouts, and new ceiling stains. The surest way is a free inspection with photos.
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim?
Deadlines vary by policy, so check yours. In general, report damage as soon as possible and document it before making permanent repairs.
Can you make my roof more hurricane resistant?
Yes. Sealed roof decks, upgraded underlayment, ring-shank nails, enhanced edge metal and wind-rated shingles or metal all improve resistance. See our FORTIFIED roof page for the full upgrade.
