Choose the right lane
What are you seeing right now?
The best next step depends more on the condition of the home than on the size of the storm headline.
01Emergency response
Water is entering or the roof is exposed
Treat this as active damage. Protect people and belongings, document the area, and get temporary protection in place.
Call 208.830.582302Inspect soon
Something looks different after the storm
Missing material, lifted edges, damaged flashing, or fresh dents deserve documentation and a closer inspection.
Start my Roof Report03Monitor calmly
Nothing obvious has changed
That is a good sign. Check the address-level context, save a few ground photos, and monitor after the next rainfall.

Safety first
Do not climb onto a wet, steep, icy, or visibly damaged roof.
A safe 10-minute check
Look for change without getting on the roof.
Your job is not to diagnose the roof. It is to notice what is new and preserve useful evidence.
- 1
Start inside
Check ceilings, upper walls, skylights, and the attic—only if safely accessible—for fresh stains, damp insulation, or dripping.
- 2
Walk the ground
Photograph each roof side from a safe distance. Look for missing pieces, uneven edges, displaced ridge material, or branches on the roof.
- 3
Check the details
Look at gutters, downspouts, vents, window screens, and other soft metals for fresh dents or impact marks.
- 4
Save the context
Record the date, approximate time, weather type, and what you noticed. Keep the original photos rather than editing them.
Read the pattern
Hail, wind, and debris leave different clues
One mark rarely tells the whole story. Look for a consistent pattern, then let a close inspection confirm what it means.
Close inspection matters
Normal aging, foot traffic, heat, and installation issues can resemble storm damage in a single photo.
Lifted, creased, shifted, or missing shingles—often concentrated on exposed edges and slopes.
Keep in mind: Do not assume every curled edge is new; age and heat can also change shingle shape.
Fresh dents in soft metal, splatter marks, damaged screens, and a repeated impact pattern across surfaces.
Keep in mind: Granules in a gutter alone do not prove hail damage; shingles naturally shed granules over time.
Branches, punctures, cracked accessories, displaced flashing, or damage localized around one impact area.
Keep in mind: Avoid moving heavy debris yourself if it could expose an opening or create a fall hazard.
After the storm
A calm sequence protects your home and your options
Urgent protection comes first. The larger repair or claim decision should follow documented facts.
Right now01
Stop active water
Move belongings, contain water if safe, and arrange temporary protection for an opening.
Within 24 hours02
Document what changed
Take wide and close photos from safe locations and write down the storm timing.
Before deciding03
Get the condition clear
Use the Roof Report and a qualified inspection when the evidence points to a problem.
Then04
Choose the right path
Monitor, repair, or discuss a claim based on the documented scope—not fear or pressure.
A useful result can be “keep monitoring.”
A nearby storm is not a reason by itself to replace a roof or open a claim. If the condition does not support action, we will say so.
Storm check FAQ
The questions homeowners ask after rough weather
Straight answers help you protect the home without turning every storm into a crisis.
Does a storm report prove that my roof is damaged?
No. A nearby wind or hail report is useful context, but it does not confirm damage at your address. Roof material, age, direction of exposure, tree cover, and the exact storm path all matter. A property-specific report and, when warranted, an inspection are the better next steps.
Should I file an insurance claim as soon as a storm passes?
Protect the home immediately if water is entering, but do not assume every storm calls for a claim. First document what changed, review your policy and deductible, and get a condition-based inspection. Your insurer and policy determine coverage.
Can a roof have storm damage without an active leak?
Yes. Lifted or creased shingles, damaged flashing, and hail impacts may not leak right away. That is why a change after the storm can deserve attention even when the ceiling is dry.
Is it safe to inspect the roof myself?
Stay on the ground. Use binoculars or your phone camera, check the attic only if it is safely accessible, and never climb onto a wet, steep, icy, or visibly damaged roof. A roofing professional can handle the close inspection.
How do I tell new storm damage from normal roof aging?
Timing and pattern matter. New debris, missing pieces, fresh interior staining, and damage concentrated on the storm-facing slopes are stronger clues than general wear alone. Photos, prior records, and a documented inspection help separate the two.
