After wind or hail
After a wind or hail storm, we find the damage on your Meridian roof, photograph it before the claim is filed, cover any opening, then repair it to the scope the claim settles.
Storm just blew through?

What we repair
Storm repairs cover hail-bruised shingles, wind-lifted and creased shingles, torn flashing and dented vents and metal.
These are the kinds of storm damage we repair:
Hail bruises the shingle mat and leaves soft spots that age faster than the shingles around them. We replace the bruised shingles before they wear through.
Hail knocks off the mineral surface that shields a shingle from the sun, which the trade calls "granule loss". Grit in the gutters after a storm is often the first sign you see.
Wind lifts shingles and breaks the adhesive seal between the tabs, and a hard gust tears some away. We replace what tore off and every tab that no longer seals.
A "creased shingle" has been folded by the wind and its mat is broken. It looks normal from a distance, but it has lost its seal and will eventually leak.
Storms tear "flashing", the metal at chimneys, vents, skylights and walls, and dent vents and roof metal. Flashing is where most leaks start, so we repair it along with the shingles.
Storm damage roof repair in Meridian finds, documents and repairs the wind and hail damage on the roofs of homes and commercial buildings.
Most of that damage is hard to see from the yard. Hail bruises the shingle mat and knocks off granules, leaving soft spots that age faster. Wind breaks the adhesive seal between shingle tabs, so a roof that looks fine from the ground can fail in the next storm.
What it costs
A storm repair is priced by how much of the roof was damaged and the materials it takes.
A few bruised shingles on one slope is a small job; a roof hit across every slope is a large one. Repairs cost more when water has spread into the decking or when the roof is steep or two stories tall.
If only a few shingles are damaged, paying for the repair may make more sense than filing a claim. We quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after, so you can weigh the two.

From the storm to the last shingle
We inspect and photograph the damage before the claim is filed, secure any opening, then repair the roof to the scope the claim settles.
A storm repair runs in four steps:
Tell us what you saw: shingles in the yard, grit in the gutters, a stain on a ceiling. We answer the phone or call back the same working day.
We walk the roof, mark the hail hits and the lifted tabs, and photograph the damage, so it is documented before the claim is filed.
When the full repair cannot be done right away, we tarp or patch the roof, the "dry-in", to stop water while the materials are prepared.
Once the claim settles the scope, we make the repair, quoted in full before we start, and clean up when the work is done.
We document every storm repair with these records:

From a neighbor
Michael did a great job for us. Met him randomly because he bought something from me on FB Marketplace, and then we got talking. Soon enough we were walking around on my roof and he gave me a very competitive quote. He was super professional and the roof is done right. I feel lucky to have found him!
The questions below sit next to storm damage roof repair, each with a short answer here and a pointer to the page that answers it in full where there is one.
Wind breaks the adhesive seal between shingle tabs, so the roof looks fine from the ground but fails in the next storm. A creased shingle has lost its seal too, and it will eventually leak even though it looks normal from a distance.
That is why we check the tabs up on the roof after a wind storm rather than judge it from the yard. Research by IBHS (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety) looks at how roofs hold up to hail and wind.
Insurance can cover storm, hail and wind damage, and it usually does not cover normal wear and tear. Photos of the damage taken before the claim is filed help show which is which.
Your policy and your insurer decide what is paid, and when only a few shingles are damaged, paying for the repair yourself may make more sense.
Quick answers
Have the roof inspected and the damage photographed before you file a claim. If water can get in, the opening gets a tarp or a patch to stop it while the materials are prepared. Call us and we walk the roof, document what the storm did and quote the whole repair before we start.
Insurance usually covers storm, hail and wind damage, but not normal wear and tear. Your policy and your insurer decide what is paid, which is why the damage is documented before the claim goes in. Our guide to roof insurance claims sets out what is covered and how a claim is paid.
The time you have is set by your policy, so check it or ask your insurer; the Idaho Department of Insurance answers consumer questions about claims. Either way, have the roof inspected and documented soon after the storm, because wind-broken seals look fine from the ground until the next storm finds them. How a claim is filed and paid is in our guide to roof insurance claims.
Stick to what you saw and when, and let the inspection photos show the rest. Do not guess at how old the damage is or call it wear, because a claim turns on whether the damage came from the storm or from normal wear and tear, as our guide to roof insurance claims explains.
