Insurance Restoration

Types of Storm Damage We See in Northern Virginia
Most homeowners haven’t been through a storm damage claim before. Here’s how we handle the process from start to finish.
Wind Damage
High winds lift, crack, and tear shingles, exposing decking and weakening flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights. Even when a roof looks intact from the ground, wind can break the adhesive seal between layers. This often leads to leaks during the next rain.
Hail Damage
Hail impacts can fracture the internal structure of asphalt shingles, leading to granule loss and reduced lifespan. This damage is rarely visible from the ground and typically requires a trained inspection. Common signs include dented gutters, soft metal damage, and subtle surface marks on shingles.
Heavy Rain Exposure
Extended rainfall exposes weak points in an aging roof, especially around flashing, pipe boots, and sealed penetrations. Small failures quickly become active leaks once water builds over time. If your roof held up during wind but leaks during rain, underlying storm damage is likely the cause.
Fallen Trees & Debris
Branches and debris can puncture roofing materials, damage structural components, and create entry points for water. Even minor impacts can compromise the roof system. Any contact with debris should be inspected to confirm the structure remains sound.

How It Works
Most homeowners have never filed a roof damage claim. Here’s exactly what happens with us.
What Insurance Typically Covers After Storm Damage
Usually Covered
- Storm damage to roofing, siding, gutters, and trim
- Hail impact that affects shingle performance
- Damage from fallen trees or wind-driven debris
- Temporary tarping to prevent further interior damage
Usually Not Covered
Damage from wear, poor maintenance, cosmetic issues, or flooding is typically not covered.
What This Means for You
If your home has legitimate storm damage, insurance typically covers the repairs, with your deductible as your main out-of-pocket cost.
If the damage is from age or wear, it usually won’t be covered. We inspect, document what we find, and walk you through the next step.

Storm Damage & Insurance Questions
Call us first. We inspect the damage, document it professionally, and then guide you through filing with complete information. A claim filed with thorough documentation from the start moves faster and produces better outcomes than one filed based on a homeowner’s description alone.
In most cases, yes. Wind, hail, and fallen tree damage are standard covered perils under Virginia homeowner’s insurance policies. Specific coverage, deductibles, and exclusions depend on your individual policy. We help you understand what applies to your situation.
You probably can’t from the ground — that’s the challenge. Hail bruises shingles without always leaving visible cracks. Look for dented gutters, damaged vent caps, and marks on outdoor AC units. But the only reliable assessment is a professional roof inspection. We provide free inspections after significant storms across our entire service area.
This varies by insurer and policy. Storm damage is classified as an act of nature rather than negligence, and most Virginia carriers treat weather claims differently from at-fault claims. Talk with your agent about your specific policy before filing.
Typically 2–6 weeks from initial inspection to completed restoration. The largest variable is insurance company processing time. Once the claim is approved, we schedule and complete work promptly.
We can submit supplemental documentation, request a re-inspection, or provide you with our complete damage report to support an appeal through your carrier’s dispute process.
Typically just your insurance deductible. Everything else is covered by your policy. We explain all costs before work begins.
We handle all exterior components. If your siding, gutters, trim, or soffit were damaged in the same storm, we restore everything under one project. One contractor, one claim, one timeline.
