We also flag any pre-existing wear we find during the inspection separately from new storm damage, since insurers distinguish between the two.
Hail and wind damage isn't always visible from the driveway — our Storm Damage Roof Repair inspections check every slope, not just what's easy to see.
We also keep records of regional Lowden, IA storm events, which can help corroborate the timing of damage on a claim.
Every Storm Damage Roof Repair assessment is conducted by a technician trained specifically in storm damage evaluation.
Post-storm call volume spikes fast — our Lowden crews prioritize active leaks first, then work through the queue.
Written Storm Damage Roof Repair estimates before any repair work begins, matched to your claim documentation.
We know which documentation details Lowden, IA adjusters actually look for first.
Storm damage covers a range of issues — here's what falls under our Storm Damage Roof Repair service.
Hail damage often shows as bruised or missing granules rather than obvious cracks, and it's easy to miss from the ground.
High wind can lift or tear shingles without leaving an obvious gap, weakening the seal until the next storm finishes the job.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
We document storm damage with photos and measurements formatted for how Lowden, IA carriers typically review claims.
We scope the repair to match what actually happened during the storm, not a generic estimate.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Storm damage assessments move a little slower than a routine repair call, since documentation quality matters for your claim.
We check for hail bruising, lifted shingles, and debris impact across the full roof.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
We follow up to make sure the repair holds through the next storm season.
They walked us through what was worth claiming and what wasn't, no pressure either way.
