Storm Damage Roof Replacement

Idaho Weather Is Tough on Roofs

The Treasure Valley gets it all—hail storms in summer, high winds year-round, and heavy snow loads in winter. Any of these can damage your roof enough to require replacement.

If your roof was damaged in a recent storm, you're probably covered by homeowner's insurance. We help homeowners navigate the claims process and restore their roofs properly.

Common Storm Damage

Hail Damage

Hail is one of the most common causes of roof damage in Idaho. Even pea-sized hail can bruise shingles and reduce their lifespan.

Signs of hail damage:

• Dents or bruises on shingle surfaces
• Granule loss exposing black asphalt underneath
• Cracked or broken shingles
• Damage to roof vents, skylights, and flashing
• Dents on metal components like gutters and vents

Hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. A professional inspection is the only way to know for sure.

Wind Damage

Idaho gets strong winds that can lift and tear shingles, especially on older roofs or poorly installed roofing.

Wind damage includes:

• Missing shingles or sections of roofing
• Lifted or creased shingles
• Torn or damaged flashing
• Exposed underlayment or deck
• Debris impacts from wind-blown objects

Snow and Ice Damage

Heavy snow loads and ice dams can cause serious problems, especially on older roofs.

Common winter damage:

• Sagging or structural damage from snow weight
• Ice dam leaks causing interior water damage
• Icicle damage to gutters and eaves
• Freeze-thaw cycles causing shingle deterioration

Free Storm Damage Inspection

After major storms, we provide free roof inspections to assess damage.

During the inspection, we:

• Check all roof slopes and surfaces
• Inspect flashing, vents, and roof penetrations
• Look for interior signs of leaks or damage
• Document all damage with detailed photos
• Provide a written assessment

If we find damage, we'll explain what needs to be replaced and whether it's likely covered by insurance.

Working with Insurance Companies

We've handled hundreds of insurance claims for storm damage. We know what adjusters look for and how to document damage properly.

Our insurance assistance includes:

• Detailed documentation - Photos and notes of all damage
• Adjuster meetings - We'll meet with your insurance adjuster on-site
• Comprehensive estimates - Detailed scope of work in the format insurers require
• Supplement requests - If initial approval is insufficient, we document additional damage
• Direct billing options - We can work directly with your insurance company

Your insurance company works for their bottom line. We work for you to ensure all damage is properly documented and covered.

The Claims Process

Here's how a typical storm damage claim works:

1. Call us for inspection - We assess damage and document it
2. File your claim - Contact your insurance company to open a claim
3. Adjuster inspection - Insurance sends an adjuster to assess damage
4. We meet the adjuster - Show them all damage and advocate for proper scope
5. Approval and payment - Insurance approves claim and issues payment
6. Schedule replacement - We schedule your roof replacement
7. Completion - Install new roof and provide final documentation

Don't Wait Too Long

Most insurance policies require you to file storm damage claims within one year of the damage. Don't wait too long after a major storm.

Also, leaving storm damage unaddressed can lead to:

• Water leaks and interior damage
• Mold growth from moisture intrusion
• Further deterioration of damaged shingles
• Additional damage in the next storm

Beware of Storm Chasers

After major storms, out-of-state contractors flood the area looking for quick jobs. Many do subpar work and disappear before warranty issues arise.

Choose a local, established contractor who:

• Has a permanent local presence
• Will be around to honor warranties
• Has verifiable local references
• Is properly licensed and insured in Idaho
