What storm damage looks like

Hail and wind leave different marks

Stay off the roof. These are the signs we look for up close.

Hail damage

Circular dents on shingles (bruising) that strip away the protective granule layer, accelerating deterioration.

Wind damage

Shingles lift, crack, or blow off entirely, exposing the roof deck.

Fallen trees & debris

Heavy debris can damage the deck and structure. Have it inspected even if nothing looks broken from the ground.

Don’t wait on it

Hail damage is often not visible without close inspection

  • Bruised shingles lose their granules and deteriorate faster, and leaks follow.
  • Be sure to review your homeowner’s insurance policy deadlines for storm-damage claims in NJ.
  • After any significant storm, have your roof inspected even if no damage is visible from the ground.
