Storm Damage Roof Inspections: Why They’re Essential and How to Choose the Right Roofing Company

When a big storm rolls through Virginia or North Carolina, most homeowners check for visible damage to trees, siding, or fences. But what about your roof? Even if you don’t see shingles missing from the ground, storm damage can be hiding where you can’t see it — and if left unchecked, it can lead to costly repairs down the road.

At Gotta Fix It Roofing, we’ve seen first-hand how quick action after a storm can save homeowners thousands of dollars. Here’s what you need to know.


Why a Post-Storm Roof Inspection is Critical

  • Hidden leaks – Wind can lift shingles and break seals without removing them entirely, allowing water to seep in slowly.

  • Compromised shingles – Granule loss or cracks may not be visible from the yard but will shorten your roof’s lifespan.

  • Flashing & vent damage – These critical waterproofing points are especially vulnerable to high winds and hail.

What to Ask When Choosing a Roofing Company

  1. Are you licensed and insured in my state?

  2. Do you offer a free inspection and written estimate?

  3. Will you document the damage for my insurance claim?

  4. Can you provide local references?

  5. Do you have experience with storm damage repairs?
