Water and Storm/Hail Damage

When a severe storm hits Ann Arbor, the aftermath can be incredibly stressful. High winds, driving rain, and damaging hail can leave your property vulnerable, creating an urgent need for a professional you can trust. A damaged roof or compromised siding is more than an inconvenience; it’s a threat to the safety of your home and everything in it. At New Roof, Inc., we provide a rapid, expert response to secure your property and begin the path to full restoration.

In a crisis, you need immediate answers from a true expert, not a call center. When you contact New Roof, Inc., you will speak directly with Jeff, the owner, a licensed builder since 1978 with over 40 years of experience managing storm damage. He provides the calm, authoritative guidance you need to make sound decisions under pressure. For immediate assistance with water, storm, or hail damage, call us now at (734) 665-5555.

Immediate Response to Protect Your Property

After a storm, our first priority is to prevent the damage from getting worse. Water entering your home can lead to serious structural issues and mold growth. We act fast to put protective measures in place.

Emergency Tarping and Damage Mitigation

If your roof has been punctured by hail or falling limbs, or shingles have been torn off by wind, we will deploy our team to install emergency tarps. This critical first step stops water intrusion, protects your home’s interior, and gives you the breathing room needed to assess the full extent of the damage without further risk.

Comprehensive Damage Assessment

Storm damage is often more extensive than what is visible from the ground. Hail can create subtle “bruises” on shingles that compromise their integrity, and high winds can loosen siding and flashing in ways that lead to future leaks. Jeff’s four decades of experience allow him to conduct a thorough inspection, identifying all points of failure to ensure a complete and lasting repair.

Complete Storm Damage Restoration Services

As a full-service exterior contractor, we are your single point of contact for all storm-related repairs. This integrated approach saves you the time and stress of coordinating multiple companies. Our expertise covers:

  • Roofing Systems: We handle everything from replacing a few missing shingles on your residential roofing to complex repairs on commercial roofing systems. We are also specialists in diagnosing hail and puncture damage on flat roof membranes.
  • Siding, Windows, and Gutters: We expertly repair or replace cracked vinyl siding, damaged window trim, and gutters that have been dented by hail or torn away by wind. We ensure your siding and windows are once again a perfect, protective shield.
  • Structural Components: Storms can damage more than just the surface. We provide expert chimney repairs for damaged masonry or flashing.
  • Interior Impact: When water gets in, it can ruin insulation and compromise your attic’s airflow. Our knowledge of insulation and ventilation services is crucial for complete water damage restoration.

Navigating the Insurance Claim Process

Dealing with insurance paperwork can be overwhelming, especially after a storm. While we are not public adjusters, we have decades of experience working with all major insurance carriers. We provide the clear, detailed documentation and professional damage assessment your insurance company needs to process your claim accurately and fairly. We help you get the full compensation you are entitled to for a proper repair. For homeowners looking for guidance, resources from organizations like the Insurance Information Institute can be very helpful in understanding the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage

A hailstorm just passed, but my roof isn’t leaking. Do I need an inspection?

Yes, absolutely. Hail impacts can fracture the shingle mat and dislodge the protective granules without causing an immediate leak. This “bruising” exposes the asphalt to UV rays, which causes rapid deterioration and will lead to leaks down the road. It can also void your shingle’s manufacturer warranty, making a professional inspection essential.

What are the first things I should do after I notice storm damage?

First, ensure your family is safe and stay away from any downed power lines. Second, if it is safe to do so, take photos of the damage to your property for your records. Third, call a trusted local contractor like New Roof, Inc. to mitigate the damage with emergency tarping. Finally, notify your insurance company to begin the claims process.

How can I spot and avoid a “storm chaser”?

Beware of contractors who show up uninvited, use high-pressure sales tactics, or offer to cover your insurance deductible (which is illegal in many places). A reputable contractor will have a permanent local address and phone number, be fully licensed and insured, and provide a detailed, written contract. Always choose a company with deep local roots and a long history, like our 40+ years serving the Ann Arbor community.
