Common Signs of Roof Storm Damage
Not all roof damage is immediately visible. Some signs you should look out for after a storm include:
-
Missing or lifted shingles
-
Water stains or leaks in ceilings
-
Granules from shingles in your gutters
-
Dents in flashing or gutters
-
Sagging rooflines
-
Debris on the roof (branches, tree limbs, etc.)
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection right away. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive—and expensive—damage down the line.
Step-by-Step: What to Do After Storm Damage
1. Document the Damage
Take photos and videos of any visible roof damage and the surrounding property. This documentation is useful for your insurance claim and will help your contractor assess the situation more accurately.
2. Stay Safe
Do not climb onto the roof yourself. Wet, damaged surfaces can be extremely dangerous. Let a qualified roofing professional handle the inspection.
3. Call a Roofing Specialist
Contact a trusted local roofer like American Roofing NJ to perform a full inspection and provide a damage report. Our team is trained to spot even hidden issues that could develop into serious problems.
4. File an Insurance Claim
If your roof damage is extensive, you may need to file a homeowners insurance claim. We can help guide you through the process and even work with adjusters to make sure you receive fair compensation.
5. Schedule Repairs or Replacement
Once the inspection is complete and the damage is assessed, it’s time to repair or replace your roof. Acting quickly reduces the risk of water intrusion, mold growth, and structural decay.

What Makes Roofs in New Jersey Vulnerable?
New Jersey’s seasonal weather can be particularly harsh on roofing materials. Some of the most common weather-related threats include:
-
Wind damage: Strong gusts can tear or loosen shingles and flashing.
-
Hail impact: Can cause dents, cracks, and granule loss in shingles.
-
Heavy rain: Exposes existing weaknesses and leads to leaks.
-
Falling trees/branches: Physical impact can puncture or crush roofing materials.
The key to preventing storm damage from escalating is prompt attention from a qualified roofing company.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Future Storm Damage
While you can’t control the weather, you can take steps to strengthen your roof’s resistance:
-
Schedule annual inspections with a local expert
-
Trim nearby trees to prevent falling branches
-
Clean your gutters regularly to prevent water overflow
-
Replace damaged or aging shingles before storm season
-
Install wind-resistant shingles if you’re in a high-risk area
American Roofing NJ can help assess your current roof’s resilience and recommend preventative upgrades when needed.
