How We Help With Storm Damage Claims

A clear process built on honesty and professional documentation

You'll always know what's happening next—and why it matters.

Common Storm Damage We Document

Southern Wisconsin weather strikes fast. Hail, wind, and heavy rain cause damage that's not always visible from the ground.

Hail Impact Damage

Hail ranging from golf-ball to grapefruit size strikes Dane County and surrounding areas regularly. Impact bruises weaken shingles, exposing the roof to water and UV damage months later. Even small dents don't look like much, but they break the seal that protects your home.

• Circular or oval impact marks on shingles
• Dents in gutters and downspouts
• Chipped flashing or vents

Wind Damage & Lifted Shingles

Spring and summer thunderstorms create uplift pressure under shingles. Wind rips away protective granules and breaks seals. Homes in Fort Atkinson, Madison, and Janesville see this damage every season. A single lifted shingle creates a pathway for water inside.

• Missing or torn shingles in your yard
• Lifted shingles curled at edges
• Granule loss creating bare spots

Water Intrusion & Ice Dam Backup

Wisconsin winters bring heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles that create ice dams. Storm-created openings combined with ice backup force water under shingles and into attics. We check for water stains, mold, and structural damage inside before problems worsen.

• Ceiling water stains or discoloration
• Musty odor or visible mold in attic
• Soft or deteriorating plywood beneath

Why Insurance Documentation Matters

Insurance companies rely on professional reports to approve claims. A certified roofer's assessment—not a homeowner's photos—carries credibility with adjusters. Our inspections combine high-resolution imagery, structural analysis, and detailed notes that prove damage and justify repairs or replacement.

Dane County and surrounding towns see significant claim volume after major storms. Adjusters are busy, and incomplete submissions get delayed or denied. We work with your adjuster directly to ensure every detail is recorded, understood, and approved before work begins.

What Our Reports Include

• Boots-on-roof inspection with boots-on-shingles photos
• Storm date, weather conditions, wind speeds documented
• High-resolution images of each damage type
• Structural assessment—repair vs. replacement recommendation
• Building code compliance for local jurisdiction

Storm Damage Claim Process

Four simple steps from inspection to approval

Step 1: Document the Storm

Note the date, time, and type of storm—hail, wind, debris. Take photos of ground-level damage: dented gutters, car damage, broken branches. This context helps your claim narrative.

Step 2: Call a Local Roofer First

Schedule a professional inspection before you contact your insurance agent. A certified report gives you leverage, documents conditions accurately, and protects your claims history from being used against you on minor damage.

Step 3: File Your Claim

Contact your insurance company with the roofer's assessment in hand. Submit our report along with your photos. Schedule the adjuster inspection and ask that we be present to answer technical questions.

Step 4: Approve & Repair

Once the adjuster approves coverage, we handle material selection, coordinate inspections, and execute repairs. You receive updates and know exactly what to expect.
