What do customers ask about Storm Damage Repair?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
What repair options do I have after hail hits my shingles?
Hail leaves bruised or fractured shingles, and you have a choice to make. Spot repair replaces only the hit shingles and works when the damage is scattered. Section repair covers one slope, and full replacement makes sense when bruising covers most of the roof. If you upgrade, Class 4 impact-rated shingles resist future hail better than standard architectural shingles. We lay out the options with photos so the decision is yours, not a sales pitch.
How quickly should a storm-damaged roof be looked at?
Most roofs can wait a few days, but open or leaking sections should not. Water that gets under lifted shingles soaks the OSB sheathing, and a deck that stays wet softens and loses fastener grip. A temporary tarp over a breached area buys time until the permanent repair. After a hail or wind event in the Lansing area, an early inspection also gives you dated photos, which helps if you file a claim.
Should I file an insurance claim or pay for repairs myself?
The damage total usually settles that question. Hail bruising across multiple slopes or wind-lifted shingles along a whole ridge often exceeds a deductible, and a documented claim is worth filing. A few cracked shingles near a valley may cost less to fix directly. We photograph and itemize what we find so you can compare the real scope against your policy before you decide. Either way, the roof gets fixed.
Tip
What to do in the first 24 hours
Stay off the roof. Wet shingles and hidden soft spots from torn decking make DIY inspection dangerous even for sure-footed people. Walk the property instead: check gutters, downspouts and window screens for dents, which signal hail large enough to bruise shingles. Note ceiling spots indoors and the time of the storm. Then call for an inspection. Those ground-level details help a roofer target the areas that need the closest look.
Can I replace just the damaged side of my roof?
Sometimes, with limits worth knowing up front. A partial repair on one slope works best when the storm hit one exposure and the remaining shingles are still pliable and closely matched in color. Older shingles that have aged several seasons rarely blend, so a hard color line shows at the ridge. If matching matters to you, or the undamaged side is near the end of its life, a full replacement in impact-rated shingles may be the cleaner long-term answer.
