This guide walks you through the entire process, from initial documentation to final repair. May 5, 2026 | By Shelley Construction Roofing ## When Should You File a Roof Storm Damage Repair? Not every roof issue requires a full replacement. Storm damage refers to sudden, accidental damage from severe weather — not normal wear and aging. Here's when professional repair is needed: **File a repair request when:** - Hail has damaged shingles, flashing, or gutters - High winds have torn off or lifted shingles - A fallen tree or debris has impacted your roof - Heavy snow or ice has caused structural damage - Water intrusion occurred due to storm damage **Don't get repairs started for:** - Normal aging and wear (curling, granule loss over time) - Maintenance issues (clogged gutters, moss growth) - Damage unrelated to severe weather Getting a professional inspection first helps you understand the full scope of damage before deciding on repairs. When in doubt, get a professional inspection first. ## Step 1: Document the Damage Immediately Time is critical. roofing contractors may question assessments filed weeks after a storm event. **Within 24-48 hours of the storm:** - Take photos and video from the ground (don't climb on a damaged roof) - Document the date and time of the storm - Note any visible damage to gutters, siding, windows, and landscaping - Check your attic for water stains or daylight showing through - Save any weather reports or hail data for your area **Important:** Don't make permanent repairs before the assessment is scheduled. Temporary tarping to prevent further damage is fine — and expected — but document everything before and after. ## Step 2: Contact Your Storm Damage Company Contact a qualified roofing contractor within 48-72 hours of discovering damage. Here's what to have ready: - Your property address - Date of the storm event - Description of visible damage - Photos you've already taken - Whether you've made any temporary repairs The repair team will assign a repair request number and schedule a professional assessment, typically within 7-14 days. ## Step 3: Get a Professional Roof Inspection Before the assessment begins, have a qualified roofing contractor inspect your roof. This is where having a HAAG Certified inspector matters. **Why HAAG Certification matters for storm damage repairs:** - HAAG Certified inspectors are trained in the same damage assessment methods property owners use - They speak the same technical language as inspectors - Their documentation follows storm damage-industry standards - Professionals take HAAG-certified assessments more seriously A professional inspection will identify damage you can't see from the ground — bruised shingles, compromised seals, hairline cracks in flashing — that significantly affects your repair value. ## Step 4: Meet with the Damage Inspector When the assessment is scheduled, you (or your roofing contractor) should be present. Here's how to prepare: - Have your contractor's inspection report ready - Point out all areas of damage, including those not visible from the ground - Ask the inspector to inspect the attic for water intrusion signs - Request they check all roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights) - Take notes on what is documented **Pro tip:** If the assessment is done from the ground only, politely request a roof-top inspection. Ground-only inspections miss the majority of hail damage. ## Step 5: Review the Assessment Report After the inspection, you'll receive a scope of loss document detailing what the repair team will cover. Review it carefully: - Compare it to your contractor's estimate line by line - Check that all damaged areas are included - Verify material specifications match what's actually on your roof - Confirm labor rates are reasonable for your market If the initial scope is significantly lower than your contractor's estimate, you have the right to request a re-inspection or request additional assessment. ## Step 6: Supplements and Disputes It's common for the initial storm damage estimate to be lower than the actual repair cost. This doesn't mean your repair is denied — it means additional documentation is needed. **Your roofing contractor can request additional assessment that includes:** - Detailed photos of damage was initially missed - Manufacturer specifications requiring full system replacement - Code upgrade requirements - Hidden damage discovered during repair Most legitimate supplements are approved when properly documented. ## Common Mistakes That Hurt Your Assessment - **Waiting too long to file** — Most policies require assessments within 1-2 years of the event - **Not documenting before temporary repairs** — Always photograph first - **Accepting the first estimate without review** — Supplements exist for a reason - **Hiring a contractor who doesn't understand storm damage** — This is critical - **Making permanent repairs before inspector approval** — This can void your warranty - **Not being present during the damage assessment** — You lose the ability to point out damage ## How Shelley Construction Helps with Storm Damage Repairs We handle the entire storm damage process for Utah homeowners: - **Free storm damage inspection** — HAAG Certified assessment - **Detailed documentation** — Photos, measurements, and damage reports in storm damage-standard format - **Inspector meeting attendance** — We meet the inspector on-site to ensure nothing is missed - **Supplement documentation** — If the initial scope is insufficient, we provide detailed supplemental reports - **Direct storm damage billing** — We provide thorough damage documentation for your records on payment We don't charge for inspections, and we don't ask for payment until your storm damage repair is processed.
