When a powerful storm hits New Jersey, it doesn’t just leave behind fallen branches and flooded streets—it can also quietly wreak havoc on your roof. Unfortunately, roof damage often isn’t immediately visible, which is why post-storm roof inspections are essential for homeowners. At AMERICAN ROOFING PROS, we’ve seen firsthand how minor issues left unchecked can lead to expensive repairs or even full roof replacements.
If you live in New Jersey and recently experienced a storm, don’t wait for leaks or water damage to appear. Call AMERICAN ROOFING PROS at (877) 228-1042 or request a free quote online. A quick inspection today can save you thousands tomorrow.
Understanding Storm Damage to Roofs
Not all roof damage is obvious. Sure, if a tree falls through your roof, the problem is clear. But more commonly, storms cause subtle but serious issues like:
-
Lifted or missing shingles
-
Granule loss on asphalt shingles
-
Cracked flashing
-
Loose nails or fasteners
-
Clogged or dented gutters
-
Soffit or fascia damage
Even a brief hailstorm or high winds can compromise your roofing materials, allowing moisture to enter and create leaks or mold. If left unrepaired, what starts as a small problem can lead to structural deterioration, insulation damage, and costly interior repairs.
Why Immediate Roof Inspections Matter in New Jersey
New Jersey’s climate includes high winds, snow, rain, and occasional hurricanes. After any major storm, homeowners should have their roofs checked to ensure they remain intact and weatherproof.
Here’s why timing matters:
-
Insurance windows are limited: Insurance companies may deny your claim if you wait too long to report storm damage.
-
Water infiltration worsens over time: Moisture that sneaks in through damaged shingles can rot wooden supports or encourage mold within days.
-
Repair costs increase exponentially: A simple shingle repair costs far less than fixing an entire section of water-damaged decking.
Our licensed inspectors at AMERICAN ROOFING PROS will assess your roof safely and thoroughly—spotting issues invisible from the ground.
How a Storm Damage Inspection Works
When you schedule a roof inspection with AMERICAN ROOFING PROS after a storm, here’s what you can expect:
-
Exterior Inspection – We check shingles, flashing, valleys, gutters, chimneys, and skylights for signs of impact or wind damage.
-
Interior Check – We inspect your attic, ceilings, and upper walls for discoloration, moisture, mold, or sagging insulation.
-
Detailed Report – You’ll receive photos and notes outlining any issues, their severity, and our recommended next steps.
-
Insurance Help – If your roof damage qualifies for an insurance claim, we’ll guide you through the process with professional documentation and communication with your adjuster.
Our goal isn’t just to fix your roof—we aim to protect your home investment.
How to Tell If Your Roof Has Storm Damage
While a professional inspection is the safest option, here are some red flags homeowners can look for after a storm:
-
Shingle debris on the ground
-
Water stains on your ceiling
-
Bent or dented gutters
-
Broken tree limbs on your roof
-
Whistling or drafts from your attic
-
Increased energy bills (from compromised insulation)
If you notice any of the above, act quickly. Call (877) 228-1042 or use our fast online form to get a quote.
What Happens If You Skip the Inspection?
Many homeowners assume their roof is fine unless water starts dripping inside. However, by the time water enters your home, the damage has already reached an advanced (and expensive) stage.
Skipping a post-storm roof inspection could lead to:
-
Premature roof failure
-
Voided warranties
-
Denied insurance claims
-
Mold and health hazards
-
Interior drywall and insulation damage
A free or low-cost inspection gives you peace of mind and prevents bigger issues down the road.
