How do I Know if My Roof Has Storm Damage?

There are a few things you can do and be aware of to know when or if your roof has sustained storm damage. Here in Colorado, we are very familiar with severe thunderstorms, high winds, and occasional hail storms. And whenever a severe storm comes through, you will want to know what to look for when you walk around your property the next day. 

Storms can wreak havoc on your home when it brings strong winds and hail. Your roof, siding, windows, and gutters are all susceptible to damage during these times, and fast-acting repairs can prevent your home from further damage from leaks or other more severe damage. 

Roof damage can look like any of the following: 

• Missing or damaged flashing 

• Missing or damaged shingles 

• Curling edges on your shingles 

• Damaged vents or pipe boots 

• Cracked or crumbling chimney 

• Sagging spots or pooling water 

• Hail damage (missing shingle granules) 

Any of these can be tell-tale signs that your roof is damaged and now at risk of leaks and water damage. Be sure to act fast to get these things repaired before it gets any worse.
