storm damage roofing don’t ignore a roof after a storm.
Every hour a compromised roof sits, it allows rain to enter the decking, saturate your insulation and destroy interior finishings damage - far greater than what caused it.
Pro Exteriors uses rapid - response crews ready to respond within 48 hours after a hailstorm (or similar qualifying event) in each of the five states where we operate.
Pro Exteriors carefully documents the storm damage, works closely with your insurance adjuster and ensures your roof replacement is compliant with all manufacturer guidelines and local building codes, without the deceptive practices many storm - chasing crews employ.
Why Pro Exteriors for Storm Damage Roofing
Pro Exteriors has worked in regions with significant hailstorms and coastal storms for over two decades, so we recognize that documenting storm damage is critical and often as important as responding to the damage.
Your insurer isn’t going to pay you for a claim based solely on the contractor’s statement.
So, after a qualifying storm, we deliver a time - dated photographic report, a line - item damage matrix and a scope of work written in a format the insurance adjuster recognizes and expects.
That documentation allows claims to move from an “open” status to “approved” much faster.
Pro Exteriors is not a pop - up shop, we’re a stable, permanent company with permanent accountability.
We’re based in Richardson, TX and operate permanent regional offices - not storm - chaser trailer pads- in each service area.
This allows our crews to travel to Plano for hail damage or a derecho for Kansas City long before storm trackers read the reports on CNN.
Our crews have GAF - certified and CertainTeed - credentialed certifications, which is important on two fronts.
First, manufacturers require certified installation for their material warranties.
Second and of much greater consequence, installers are held to a stringent standard when it comes to their installations - a higher standard of work that can save you money if there are warranty issues years from now.
Additionally, we carry general liability and workers’ compensation in every jurisdiction where we work.
We employ full - time roofing crews.
Sadly, only about a third of companies responding to storm damage do.
What Storm Damage Roofing Actually Involves
Storm damage roofing can be a wider category than most homeowners are aware of when they first reach out to Pro Exteriors.
Hail on asphalt shingles impacts under the top granule surface of the shingle and even though the damage isn’t visible from the ground, it prematurely shortens the life span of the roof.
High wind on a shingle roof is experienced when tabs get lifted or break apart or the wind compromises sealing strips that provide resistance to blowing rain or moisture entering under the roof surface.
During extreme cold, ice damming on roofs causes meltwater to wick under the shingles, causing roof leaks even if it’s not raining.
Even though ice damming in places such as Denver or Wichita will cause extensive damage inside the home, the roof may still look outwardly fine for some time.
Pro Exteriors always inspects the shingles, ridge cap shingles, all flashing valley surfaces and pipe boots.
Drip edge and gutters are checked and documented as are skylights and all other roof penetrations, like vent stacks.
We’re committed to finding and documenting all hail- or wind - damaged areas.
If we find areas where moisture has soaked into your roof decking or soft spots on your plywood or OSB underlayment, we document that as well.
Why? Shingles over a soft deck will eventually fail again on a short schedule.
When it comes to selecting materials, GAF and CertainTeed provide us with shingles on almost all roofs we handle.
While these companies don’t offer as extensive choices, both have impact - resistant Class 4 shingles.
If you live in Texas, Colorado, Kansas or Missouri, installing one of these impact - rated shingles can lead to insurance discounts on your policy.
Atlas also carries great - impact - resistant options, so we can help meet any project needs you’ve.
Your choice of underlayment, ice - and - water shield and starter strips are climate - appropriate selections selected based on the specific weather - prone region where your property is located.
Standard selections aren’t utilized across all of our areas.
The roof construction sequence is: roof inspection and documentation, insurance claim settlement and negotiation with your insurance agent/adjuster, ordering roofing materials and permitting with local authorities where necessary and completion of roofing installation.
When working through the insurance process, your calls won’t get handed off to a third party or third - party administration, so project managers maintain direct contact with your adjuster throughout the process.
