After a storm, look from the ground for missing or lifted shingles, debris on the roof, dented or cracked siding, loose trim and new water stains on ceilings. Don't climb onto the roof yourself — call a contractor to review any damage.

Roof warning signs

Missing, curled or lifted shingles, granules collecting in gutters and fallen limbs are all worth a closer look.

Inside, check ceilings and attic spaces for new stains or dampness.

Siding warning signs

Cracked, loose or missing siding panels can let water behind the wall.

Check around windows and trim for gaps or damage.

What to do next

Take photos from a safe spot and avoid climbing on the roof.

We handle roofing, siding and window installation — and restoration if water gets inside.
