Storm Damage Repair · Metairie

It absolutely can. Fast-moving afternoon storms with wind gusts above 45–50 mph are enough to lift shingles, crack flashing seals, and drive water under ridge caps. Hail from even a brief storm can bruise asphalt shingles in ways that don't show up as leaks immediately but shorten your roof's lifespan significantly.

If the branch is still on the roof, don't try to remove it yourself — it may be holding damaged materials in place or concealing a larger hole. Call us and we can assess the situation safely, tarp if needed, and document everything for your insurance claim. Impact damage from fallen trees is typically covered under homeowner's insurance.

We provide detailed photo documentation and an itemized estimate that aligns with how insurance adjusters evaluate storm damage. We can also be present during the adjuster's visit if that's helpful. Our goal is to make sure the full scope of damage is captured so your claim reflects the actual repair cost.

Yes. Hail bruising, lifted shingles, and cracked flashing are almost impossible to spot from the ground. After a storm that affected your neighborhood, a professional inspection is the only way to know for certain. If there's no damage, we'll tell you that too.

It depends on the scope of the work. Minor repairs typically don't require a permit, but significant decking replacement or full re-roofing triggered by storm damage may require one under Jefferson Parish building codes. We handle the permitting process when it's required so you don't have to navigate that yourself.
