Wind & hail roof damage
AFTER THE STORM, GET A CLEAR ROOF ASSESSMENT
Central Iowa storms can damage shingles, flashing, gutters and other exterior parts of a property. TPR Roofing & Repair assesses visible conditions and helps you understand the repair or replacement work that may be needed.
First steps
What to do after wind or hail
- Stay off a roof that may be wet, unstable or damaged.
- If it is safe, photograph visible damage from the ground and note when the storm occurred.
- Protect interior belongings and document any active water intrusion.
- Request a professional roof inspection before committing to a repair scope.
If you have an insurance claim, review your policy and communicate directly with your insurer. We can discuss the roofing work indicated by the visible condition; coverage decisions belong to the insurer.
What to look for
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground
Water entry
Leaks may show up around penetrations or in attic and ceiling areas after a storm.
Repair or replacement
The scope should match the damage
A single affected section may call for a targeted repair. More widespread damage or an already worn roof may make replacement the better option. A useful estimate explains the observed condition, proposed work and any unknowns that can only be evaluated once materials are removed.
