Wind damage inspection and roof repair.

## What this page covers

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and coastal wind events can lift, crack, and expose your roof in ways that aren't obvious until water comes in. We inspect, document, and work the claim — so you don't have to figure it out alone.


## Frequently asked questions

### How do I know if wind damage to my roof is covered by insurance?

Wind damage is covered under most standard homeowner policies. The key is documentation — we inspect the roof and record all wind-related damage before anything is disturbed, giving you a strong claim package that reflects what the storm actually did.

### What wind speed damages a roof?

It depends on the roof's age and condition. New roofs are rated for 90–130 mph winds. Older roofs with weathered shingles or loose flashing can suffer damage at 40–60 mph — which is routine in coastal NC storms. Salt-air degradation makes coastal roofs more vulnerable than inland equivalents.

### My shingles look fine from the ground — do I really need an inspection?

Yes. Lifted tabs, broken seals, creased shingles, and damaged flashing are not visible from the driveway. These are exactly the conditions that cause leaks months later and form the core of most wind damage claims. By the time you see water inside, the claim window may be closing.

### Can I wait until after storm season to get my roof inspected?

We recommend against it. Claim windows are typically one year from the storm date, and damage gets harder to document over time. Waiting also risks additional water intrusion through any compromised areas. Inspect as soon as the storm passes and it is safe to do so.
