Keeping and maintaining your roof after a storm is vital to your home. Did you know there are more ways than a tree limb puncture that can damage your roof? Some are not as obvious as others, and some can only be spotted by a true roofing or insurance professional.

Here are six ways homeowners can spot storm damage:

Substantial roof and shingle damage from storm.

  1. Look for fallen trees or branches: Strong winds can knock down trees and branches, causing damage to your home or property. If you see any fallen trees or branches, it's a sign that your area has been affected by a storm.

  2. Check for missing or damaged shingles: Strong winds can cause shingles to lift or even break off completely. If you notice any missing or damaged shingles, it's a sign that your roof has been affected by a storm.

  3. Look for dents on metal components: Hailstorms can cause dents on metal components such as gutters, downspouts, and flashing. If you see any dents, it's a sign that your home has been hit by hail.

  4. Inspect your windows: High winds can cause windows to crack or shatter. If you notice any cracks or broken glass, it's a sign that your home has been affected by a storm.

  5. Check for water stains: Heavy rain can cause water to seep into your home, leaving behind water stains on your walls and ceilings. If you see any water stains, it's a sign that your home has been affected by a storm.

  6. Check for debris around your home: After a storm, debris such as leaves, branches, and other items may accumulate around your home. If you notice any debris, it's a sign that your area has been affected by a storm.

“A large pine tree hit our house after a tornado tore through our neighborhood. We hired David Browne and Homeworks of Georgia to perform most of the repairs. The damage to our home was extensive and ranged from attic structural damage to putting on a completely new roof and gutters. I have nothing but great things to say about how Homeworks of Georgia managed this project. They were very timely and performed superior work with great communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend David Browne and Homeworks of Georgia!”
