Severe weather doesn't follow a schedule. When storms tear through Centreville, VA, they can damage your roof in minutes. High winds lift and tear off shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges.

Our team responds quickly to assess damage, provide temporary protection if needed, and develop a repair plan. We've helped hundreds of property owners recover from storm damage, and we know how to work with insurance companies to make the process as smooth as possible during a stressful time.

Common Types of Storm Damage

Different types of storms create different types of roof damage. Here's what we commonly see after severe weather in our area:

• Wind damage – High winds lift and tear off shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. Missing shingles leave your roof deck exposed to water infiltration. Wind can also blow debris onto roofs, causing punctures and tears.
• Hail damage – Hailstones create dents in shingles that compromise the protective granules. This damage might not be immediately obvious, but it significantly reduces your roof's remaining life and can void warranties if not addressed.
• Tree damage – Falling branches or entire trees can crush sections of roof, creating immediate emergency situations. Even small branches can damage shingles and gutters when they fall from height.
• Water infiltration – Heavy rainfall tests every seal and seam on your roof. If flashing has failed or shingles are damaged, water finds its way into your building quickly during downpours.
• Ice dam damage – In winter, ice dams form along roof edges when snow melts and refreezes. These ice buildups force water under shingles and cause leaks. Our gutter repair services help prevent ice dams by ensuring proper drainage.
• Lightning strikes – While less common, direct lightning strikes can shatter shingles and even ignite roof materials, creating both immediate danger and long-term damage.

Our Emergency Response Process

When you call us for emergency roofing service, we spring into action immediately. If you're experiencing active leaking, we'll guide you through temporary measures to minimize damage until we arrive. Our emergency crew carries tarps, temporary patching materials, and everything needed to stop water infiltration quickly.

Once on site, we assess the full extent of damage. Storm damage is often more extensive than it first appears – what looks like a few missing shingles might hide damaged underlayment or deck problems. We document everything with photos and detailed notes. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims and helps ensure nothing gets overlooked during repairs.

After securing your property and documenting damage, we provide a detailed estimate for permanent repairs. If insurance will cover the damage, we help you navigate that process. Many homeowners feel overwhelmed dealing with adjusters and paperwork after a storm, so we make it easier by providing clear documentation and answering questions. Our goal is to restore your roof completely so you can move forward with confidence.

Working With Your Insurance Company

Most storm damage is covered by homeowner's or commercial property insurance. We've worked with virtually every insurance company and understand what they require for claims. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed estimates that match insurance requirements, and advocate for proper repairs rather than quick fixes that won't last.

Be cautious of contractors who offer to waive your deductible or promise to handle everything with insurance – these practices are often illegal and can jeopardize your claim. We operate honestly and transparently, which protects you and ensures proper repairs. Whether you need emergency roof repairs or complete storm damage roof replacement, our experienced Centreville roofing team will restore your property quickly and correctly.
