Storm Damage Restoration in Northern NJ
Documented. Restored. Done Right.
Wind, hail, and heavy snow do real damage. We document it thoroughly, work directly with your insurance adjuster, and restore your roof to better than pre-storm condition.
Types of Storm Damage We Handle
New Jersey weather is tough on roofs. Here’s what we see most after major storms.
Hail Damage
Owens Corning Preferred Contractor — factory-certified installers backed by industry-leading warranties.
Hail bruises and cracks shingles in ways that aren’t always visible from the ground. We inspect every section of the roof and document granule loss, cracking, and dents for your insurance claim.
Wind Damage
High winds lift and tear shingles, pull up flashing, and can damage the decking underneath. Even if shingles look intact, the seals may be broken — letting water in with the next rain.
Fallen Trees & Branches
Impact damage from trees or large branches can go deep — through shingles, through underlayment, and into the decking. We assess the full structural impact before quoting the repair.
Ice Dam Damage
Ice dams form when heat escapes the attic and refreezes at the eaves. The ice backs up under the shingles and forces water into your home. We repair the damage and can address the ventilation issue causing it.
Heavy Snow Load
Excessive snow weight stresses the roof structure. We inspect for sagging, cracked rafters, and any damage to the decking or covering after a significant snow event.
Water Intrusion
Storm damage often creates entry points that aren’t obvious until the next rain. We track water intrusion back to its actual source — not just the spot where it’s showing up inside the home.
We Know the Claims Process — and We Handle It With You
Most homeowners don’t file storm damage claims often enough to know the process. We do this regularly. We know what insurance adjusters look for, how to document damage so it doesn’t get dismissed, and how to get your claim approved for the full scope of work needed.
We don’t just hand you a repair estimate and leave you to figure out the paperwork. We coordinate directly with your adjuster, provide the documentation they need, and make sure nothing gets overlooked.
- Thorough photo and measurement documentation
- Direct coordination with your insurance adjuster
- Repair scoped to actual damage — not a minimum patchwork
- Restoration to pre-storm or better condition
Our Storm Damage Restoration Process
From the first call to the final walkthrough — documented, coordinated, and done right.
Free Damage Inspection
We inspect the full roof, document all damage with photos and measurements, and give you an honest assessment of what the storm did and what needs to be done.
Insurance Coordination
We prepare the documentation your adjuster needs and coordinate with them directly. We make sure the full scope of damage is captured before the claim is filed.
Restoration Work
Once the claim is approved, we restore your roof properly — matching materials, replacing underlayment and flashing where needed, and doing the job to last.
Final Walkthrough
We walk you through the completed work, provide all warranty documentation, and follow up after the next significant rain to confirm everything is performing correctly.
Storm Damage FAQ
What homeowners ask us most after a major storm.
A lot of storm damage — especially hail — isn’t visible from the ground. Signs to watch for: granules in your gutters after a storm, visible dents or cracks on shingles, damaged flashing, or a new leak inside the home. The safest way to know is to have someone get on the roof. We do that inspection for free.
Damage caused by hail, wind, fallen trees, and similar sudden events is typically covered by standard homeowner’s insurance policies. Normal wear and aging is not. We document the damage thoroughly and help you understand whether a claim makes sense before you file.
Call us first. We’ll inspect and document the damage so you know what you’re dealing with before the adjuster comes out. It’s much easier to make sure nothing gets missed when we’ve already been up there with a camera. Then we coordinate with the adjuster together.
It varies by insurance company and the volume of claims after a major storm event. Typically 2–4 weeks from inspection to approval. We stay in contact with your adjuster throughout the process and push things forward when we can.
It happens. We’ve seen adjusters miss damage that was clearly there. We’ll walk through our documentation with you, explain what was missed, and help you understand your options — including requesting a re-inspection or working with a public adjuster if necessary.
