Storm Damage
Storms can wreak havoc on our homes in the DFW Metroplex. Looking for the correct signs are important to know if you need to replace your roof or if you are able to hold off from doing anything. Often times blistering gets mistaken for hail damage and a roof replacement isn't going to fix the underlying issue.
Owens Corning wrote a great on signs of storm damage on your home. Here is a small preview of it. Feel free to contact here if you feel you have storm damage.
"While your roof is designed to withstand the elements, some storms are more intense than others. There are signs to look for when you believe there may have been damage to your roof. Please be safe when inspecting your roof—possibly view from a window inside the house or use binoculars from the ground.
If in doubt, contact a professional roofing contractor.
Roof Wind Damage
Significant wind can cause shingles to blow off the roof deck. Missing shingles can lead to leaks and other interior damage. Other roof wind damage may not be easy to see, especially if the adhesive seal that provides a water-shedding surface is broken. Always be safe when checking for roof damage. Call a professional roofing contractor for assistance.
All manufacturers publish a wind warranty on their shingles; it is important to compare the wind coverage when making your shingle selection on a new roof. If the winds that caused the shingle damage were above the manufacturer’s wind coverage, you’ll need to file an insurance claim. If they were not, contact the shingle manufacturer to file a claim."
