Storm Damage — Southeastern NC

Wind damage roof repair — free inspection, full claim support.

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.

Free inspection. No obligation. Serving Wilmington and all of southeastern NC.

Why It Matters

Coastal wind damage compounds fast.

A lifted shingle tab in July becomes a leak by September. On the coast, the window between wind event and water intrusion is shorter than most homeowners expect.

Coastal winds cause damage at lower speeds

Salt-air exposure and sun degradation weaken shingles over time. What holds in a 50-mph inland wind may fail at 40 mph on the coast. Older roofs are especially vulnerable.

Claim windows close fast

Wind damage claims are time-sensitive. Most NC policies require filing within a year of the storm date — and documentation is much easier when the damage is fresh.

Wind damage is often widespread but subtle

A few missing shingles are obvious. Lifted tabs, broken seals, and creased shingles from wind pressure are not. We find both.

What To Look For

Signs your roof took wind damage.

Some signs are visible from the ground. Most require getting on the roof. If you had a significant wind event, get an inspection before assuming everything is fine.

  • Missing, lifted, or creased shingles
  • Blown-off ridge cap or hip shingles
  • Damaged or detached flashing around chimneys and vents
  • Exposed roof deck from large sections of shingle loss
  • Bent or pulled-away drip edge
  • Soffit or fascia damage from wind-driven debris
  • Visible daylight through the attic after the storm
  • Interior water stains following a wind event

After a wind event

Don't wait for the next rain to find out.

A free inspection after a significant wind event costs you nothing. Finding wind damage before it becomes a water damage problem — and before the claim window closes — is the whole point.

Our Process

Inspection to repair — no guesswork.

01

Free inspection

We get on the roof and document all wind-related damage — shingle loss, lifted tabs, flashing failure, and anything that opens the roof to water.

02

Photo report

Every damaged area is photographed before any work begins. That report becomes your claim documentation.

03

Adjuster coordination

We meet your insurance adjuster on-site, walk the damage with them, and make sure the approved scope reflects what we found.

04

Repair or replacement

Once the claim is approved, we schedule the work. If repair is the right call, we repair. If replacement is warranted, we replace the full system.

Wind, hail, and hurricane damage all handled in one free inspection.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask us about wind damage.

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.
