Storm Damage Roof Repair in New Jersey

Signs You Should Have the Roof Checked After a Storm

• Hail hit your area even if the roof looks fine from the street
• Wind may have damaged the roof
• Neighbors are getting roofs replaced on your block
• Metal flashing or gutters show new dents
• A limb came down anywhere near the house

What Sets the Repair Number After a Storm

The estimate describes the damage and the proposed repair or replacement work. Insurance coverage is a separate decision made under your policy.

Warranty That Means Something

Roof repairs carry a 2-year warranty. Roof replacements carry a 50-year warranty. Our own licensed crew does the work under NJ HIC #13VH11720500, with no subcontractors.

Discounts and Financing

Seniors and military get our discount, and we run 0% financing so an uninsured loss does not have to come out of one paycheck. You get the real number in writing before anything starts.

After the storm

New Jersey's Department of Banking and Insurance advises reporting storm damage to your insurer promptly. Photograph the damage, keep temporary-repair receipts, and read its storm-claim guidance.

Request roof inspection photos and a written description of the proposed work.

What Storm Damage Actually Looks Like

• Wind: lifted or creased shingles that look fine from the ground but have broken their seal, so they may not leak until a later sideways rain.
• Hail: bruised granule patches you can feel more than see. Rare here, but it can shorten the life of a roof.
• Impact: limbs and debris. Sometimes a clean puncture, more often cracked decking that shows up as a stain weeks later.
• Water driven under: nor'easter rain pushed up and under the shingle edge, soaking underlayment that stays wet.

Insurance, Without the Runaround

Our roof estimate describes the work being proposed. The insurance company assigns an adjuster to inspect the loss and determine coverage.

The Deductible Question

Read the deductible in your policy and ask your insurer how it applies to the reported damage. A contractor's price does not determine your benefits. See New Jersey's homeowner insurance FAQs.

Ask your claim representative which documents they need. Keep copies of the estimate and any information you submit.

How to Spot a Storm Chaser

Warning signs of a storm chaser include out-of-state plates, a deposit requested before any inspection photos exist, pressure to sign an assignment-of-benefits form on the spot, and a company name you cannot connect to a local address. Any one of those is a reason to stop and check before signing anything. You can look us up first: we are registered as NJ HIC #13VH11720500 at 38 Speer Ave in Clifton.

How a Claim Actually Goes

Your insurer sets the claim appointments and explains payment terms. New Jersey's home insurance guidance says permanent repairs should wait until the adjuster has reviewed the damage; necessary temporary protection is a separate step.
