Storm Damage Roof Repair in Sunny Acres, Cranford: what actually fails
In one storm, residents on Windemere Drive in Sunny Acres reported limbs falling all around them. After a limb strike here, the rafters and boards under it are checked from the attic before the shingles are priced, because the damage below is what decides the repair. Houses of one era under one canopy can share damage from a single tree, so a neighbor's limb is noted if it hung over your roof as well.

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01What does wind damage on shingles look like?
Missing shingles are obvious. Less obvious are shingles that lifted, creased across the top and lay back down, broken seal strips, and loose ridge caps. Creased shingles have lost their grip and are replaced, which is why every slope is walked.
Note 02Should storm-damaged shingles be patched or replaced?
Replaced, shingle by shingle, where they are creased, cracked or missing. Gluing a creased shingle back down does not restore its grip. When damage is spread across most of a slope, the honest conversation is whether that slope is worth re-roofing instead.
Note 03What to do if you have roof damage from a storm?
Make the house safe first: stay clear of down wires and anything hanging from a tree, catch any water inside, and photograph the roof from the ground and the damage indoors. Do not climb up to look. Then call, and say whether water is coming in, which decides whether it is cover tonight or a repair on the next dry day.
