Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair Across Metro Detroit
Shingles scattered across the yard after a spring windstorm? We'll inspect, document every hit, and get your roof watertight before the next front rolls in.

Michigan storm season doesn't ask permission. One straight-line wind gust or a fast-moving hail cell can lift shingles, bruise granules, and drive debris through your roof in minutes — often leaving damage you can't see from the ground. We inspect it thoroughly, document every hit for your insurance claim, and repair it right so an open roof isn't left exposed to the next round of Michigan weather.
Wind, Hail & Debris: What Storm Damage Looks Like on a Michigan Roof
Not all storm damage is obvious. After a big blow you might see shingles in the yard, but plenty of damage hides in plain sight — creased tabs that will curl and leak later, or hail bruises that knock the protective granules loose and shorten the roof's life. Left alone, small hits turn into active leaks once the next freeze-thaw cycle or spring rain works its way in.
That's why it pays to have a roofer look closely after any serious storm, even when the roof looks fine from the driveway. Here's what we're checking for:
- Wind-lifted or creased shingles that have broken their seal and flap in the next gust
- Missing shingles and exposed underlayment after straight-line winds
- Hail bruising — soft spots and knocked-off granules that expose the asphalt mat
- Debris impact from branches, plus dented or torn metal flashing, vents, and gutters
- Backed-out or popped nails that let water track underneath the shingles
- Interior clues: fresh ceiling stains, daylight in the attic, or grit collecting in the downspouts
Our Free Storm-Damage Inspection & Photo Documentation
Every storm call starts with a free, no-pressure inspection. We get up on the roof — not just a look from the ground — and check the field shingles, ridges, valleys, flashing, vents, and gutters for the specific signatures of wind and hail. Then we document what we find with clear, dated photos and notes you can keep, whether you decide to file a claim or simply pay out of pocket for a repair.
You walk away knowing exactly what's damaged and what it will take to fix it, before anyone signs anything.
- On-roof inspection of shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and roof penetrations
- Close-up, dated photos of wind creasing, hail bruising, and impact damage
- Chalk-marked test squares that show hail-hit density the way an adjuster reviews it
- A plain-English summary of what's damaged and what the repair involves
- Honest guidance on whether the damage is worth an insurance claim or a straight repair
Honest Help With Your Insurance Claim
If your damage warrants a claim, we'll make the process easier — and we'll always be straight with you about how it works. We document the damage thoroughly and can meet your insurance adjuster on-site to walk the roof together, so nothing legitimate gets missed.
What we won't do is bend the rules. Your deductible is your responsibility, and any contractor promising a "free roof" by waiving, covering, or "eating" it is asking you to take part in insurance fraud, which is illegal in Michigan. We'd rather earn your trust with honest work than make a promise that could put you at risk.
- We photograph and document all storm damage for your claim file
- We can meet your adjuster on-site to review the roof together
- We provide a clear, itemized estimate of the repair or replacement scope
- You pay your own deductible — we never waive, discount, or cover it, and we won't pretend the roof is free
- If the damage is minor, we'll tell you honestly so you can weigh a claim against a simple repair
Emergency Tarping & Fast Turnaround
When a storm leaves your roof open, the clock starts. Michigan weather rarely hands you a dry week to think it over — another front, a hard rain, or an overnight freeze can turn a small breach into soaked insulation and ruined drywall. During our business hours we can get an emergency tarp over the exposed area to stop water intrusion, then move quickly to schedule the permanent repair.
Same-day tarping or repair is sometimes possible when our schedule allows — reach out and we'll tell you honestly what we can do and when.
- Business-hours emergency tarping to stop active water intrusion
- Fast scheduling so an open roof doesn't sit through the next Michigan storm
- Same-day help when our schedule allows — we'll always be upfront about timing
- Priority on breaches over living space, where interior damage spreads fastest

Storm & Hail Damage — FAQs
How much does storm damage roof repair cost in metro Detroit?
It depends on the damage. Minor repairs — resealing a few wind-lifted shingles or patching a small section — often run a few hundred dollars, while larger repairs typically fall in the $600 to $2,500 range. Full storm-driven replacements cost more. Every roof is different, so we'll give you a free, exact estimate after inspecting yours.
How fast can you tarp or repair my roof after a storm?
When your schedule and ours line up, we can sometimes tarp an exposed roof the same day to stop water from getting in — always during our business hours. Permanent repairs are usually scheduled within a few days, depending on materials and storm volume. Reach out and we'll be honest about exactly what we can do and when.
Do you work with my insurance company on a storm claim?
Yes. We document your storm damage with photos and a written scope, and we can meet your adjuster on-site to review the roof together so nothing legitimate gets overlooked. To be clear, though: your deductible is your responsibility. We never waive or cover it, and we won't promise a "free" insurance roof — that would be fraud.
How do I know if I have hail or wind damage I can't see?
A lot of storm damage isn't visible from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles and knock off protective granules, and wind can crease tabs that look fine but will leak later. Warning signs include grit in your gutters, fresh ceiling stains, or shingle pieces in the yard. A free inspection is the only sure way to know.
Should I file an insurance claim or just pay for the repair myself?
It depends on how much damage you have and the size of your deductible. If the repair costs less than your deductible, paying out of pocket usually makes more sense. For widespread wind or hail damage, a claim may be worth it. We'll inspect, show you the damage honestly, and help you weigh both options — no pressure.
