Storm Damage Roof Inspection & Emergency Roof Repair
Storm rolling through? Don’t wait on a leak to become a ceiling stain.
If your area is getting heavy rain or strong wind, your roof may have damage that isn’t obvious from the ground: lifted shingles, flashing issues, punctures, or debris impact. Idea Roofing provides fast storm-damage inspections, clear photo documentation, and repair options to protect your home.

Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage
Missing, lifted, or creased shingles
Granules in gutters/downspouts
Bent or missing flashing around chimneys/vents
Water spots on ceilings, walls, or attic decking
Drips near skylights, valleys, or roof-to-wall transitions
Debris impact or tree limb scrapes
Gutters pulling away or dented metal components
Stay off the roof. Wet shingles are dangerous.
If water is actively coming in, catch drips and move valuables.
Take photos of visible exterior/attic/ceiling issues.

Storm Damage & Insurance FAQs
Q: Do I need to file an insurance claim?
A: Not always. If it's minor, a repair may make more sense. We'll show you what we found so you can make the right call.
Q. What if I have damage but no leak yet?
A. That's common. Wind can loosen shingles and flashing; problems often show up on the next heavy rain.
Q: Can you meet my adjuster?
A: If a claim is filed, we can coordinate inspection timing and provide documentation to support the scope.
Q: How fast can you come out?
A: We prioritize storm-related calls and schedule as quickly as possible -- especially when storms are active.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: We serve all of Shelby County, including Helena, Alabaster, Pelham, Calera, Chelsea, and surrounding areas.
