Storm Damage Repair in Noble
After hail or high wind, we walk your roof, photograph each damaged shingle, vent and flashing run, and explain what the storm did. Then we repair or replace what failed to current code, with the permit pulled when the job calls for one.
What storm damage repair covers
Hail and wind hurt a roof in different ways. A hailstone strips away the ceramic-coated granules that shield an asphalt shingle from sunlight, and a hard enough strike fractures the fiberglass mat inside. That shingle then ages faster, even while your ceiling stays dry. Wind pulls shingles loose from their adhesive strip, bends tabs back until they crease near the nails, and lifts ridge caps and flashing edges.
Spring storms across central Oklahoma often deliver both at once, so we look for each kind of damage on every visit. A handful of creased tabs is a small repair. Bruising spread across a whole slope means that slope needs new shingles. We tell you which applies, and the reason, based on what is actually on your roof.
Our rule is that any work we do meets the code in force today, not the code your roof was first built under. That matters most when a repair grows into a reroof, because current requirements for underlayment, drip edge and nailing apply to all of the new work.
What our storm repair work covers
Every slope checked
A storm rarely strikes only one face of the roof, so we look at all of them. Hail hits are marked and tallied inside test squares, and wind creases are followed course by course.
Photo documentation
You get dated photos of bruised shingles, dented vents, cracked pipe boots and lifted flashing. They help you understand the damage and are useful if you decide to file an insurance claim.
Soft metals and penetrations
Hail dents box vents, turtle vents and gutters, and it splits the rubber collars on plumbing boots. We replace damaged pieces so water can't follow the dent or crack into the deck.
Repairs built to code
Replacement shingles get the manufacturer's nailing pattern, starter strip and sealed edges. If the deck is soft or delaminated, we replace those sheets before new roofing goes over them.
Permits and inspection
When the scope reaches a reroof or deck replacement, we pull the permit and schedule any required inspection. You don't have to deal with the paperwork.
Cleanup
We sweep the yard and driveway with a magnet for loose nails and haul off torn-out material.
Signs your roof took storm damage
Granules in the gutters
A heavy layer of sand-like granules at the downspouts after hail usually means shingles lost their UV protection.
Dark spots on shingles
Round, soft-feeling marks are hail bruises. Underneath, the mat may be cracked even if the surface looks intact.
Missing or flipped tabs
Wind that breaks the seal strip lets tabs lift and fold. Once unsealed, they keep loosening in every gust that follows.
Dented vents and gutters
Dents on metal vents, downspouts or the AC fin housing show hail size and tell us the shingles took the same hits.
New ceiling stains
A fresh stain after a storm points to a puncture, a lifted flashing or a cracked pipe boot letting water in.
The steps of a storm damage job
- 1
You call us
Describe the storm and what you've spotted since. We pick a time to come see the roof.
- 2
We inspect the roof
On the roof we mark and photograph the damage, then look in the attic for damp decking or stained rafters. If water is coming in, a temporary cover can keep things dry until the repair is done.
- 3
Scope in writing
We go over what the storm damaged, whether a repair or a replacement fits, and which code items the job will cover. The written scope is yours before anything goes on the calendar.
- 4
Doing the work
Only the area in the scope gets torn off. We check the deck, lay new underlayment and shingles to the manufacturer's specs, and swap out damaged flashing and vents. When a job is permitted, it passes inspection before we consider it finished.
- 5
Walking the roof together
You walk the completed roof with us, see photos of what went in under the shingles, and we leave the site clean.
What drives the price of storm repair
The price comes down to how much of the roof the storm hit and what turns up beneath the shingles. We base it on the damage we actually find and list it item by item, so each part of the total has a clear source.
- How far the damage spreads
- Lifted tabs on a single slope make for a small job. When hail has bruised every slope, those slopes usually need new shingles.
- State of the decking
- Decking that is wet or soft gets replaced before any new roofing goes over it, which adds both material and labor.
- Bringing it up to code
- A reroof has to meet today's code, so it may include drip edge, new underlayment or vent changes the old roof didn't have.
- Finding a matching shingle
- When a shingle color has been discontinued, a close match is hard to find, and the repair may need to cover more area.
- Slope and reach
- Steeper roofs call for more safety setup and slower, more careful work.
Storm damage questions
Something not covered here? (405) 913-1476
Do I call my insurance company first, or have you look at the roof first?
It usually makes sense to have the roof checked before you file, so you know whether the damage is real and how far it goes. We hand you dated photos and a written summary of what we found. Coverage is the adjuster's decision, not ours, but we can walk through our findings and meet the adjuster on the roof if you want us there.
My roof doesn't leak. Can hail damage still matter?
Yes. A hail bruise can crack the shingle mat without causing a leak right away. Over the next few seasons, the cracked spot loses granules, absorbs heat and fails sooner than the rest of the roof.
Do I need a permit for storm repairs?
Small repairs often don't need one. A full reroof or deck replacement usually does. We check what applies to your job and pull the permit when it's required, so the work is inspected and on record.
Will the repair match my existing shingles?
We try to source the same product line and color. If it's discontinued, we'll show you the closest options and explain whether a partial repair will look right or whether replacing a full slope makes more sense.
Should I upgrade to impact-resistant shingles?
If a slope or the whole roof is being replaced, Class 4 impact-rated shingles are worth considering where hail is common. Some insurers adjust premiums for them, so it's worth asking your agent before you choose.
