FAQs
How can I tell if recent high winds have damaged my roof in Sparta?
Signs of wind damage include missing or creased shingles, lifted flashing, granule loss that appears as bald spots or granules in gutters, dents on metal components, and water stains in your attic or on ceilings. Because many issues are hard to spot from the ground, a professional inspection is the safest and most reliable way to confirm damage.
What does a professional wind-damage roof inspection involve?
Our inspector starts with a ground-level assessment, then safely accesses the roof to check shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, and ridge caps. We look for displaced or broken materials, measure moisture content, photograph all findings, and evaluate the attic for hidden leaks or insulation issues. Afterward, you receive a detailed report with photos, a damage map, and repair or replacement recommendations.
How soon after a windstorm should I schedule an inspection?
Schedule an inspection as quickly as possible—ideally within 48–72 hours of the storm. Early documentation protects your home from further water intrusion, speeds up the repair process, and strengthens any insurance claim by showing that damage occurred during the specific weather event.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover wind damage repairs?
Most homeowner policies in Wisconsin cover sudden wind or hail damage, but coverage can vary. A prompt professional inspection provides the written evidence insurers require. We can help you interpret your policy, supply the necessary documentation, and even meet with the adjuster to ensure all storm-related damage is noted.
Can minor wind damage cause bigger problems if I delay repairs?
Yes. A single lifted shingle can allow water to seep under adjacent shingles, leading to rot, mold, ruined insulation, and interior ceiling stains. Small breaches also make your roof more vulnerable to the next storm. Timely repairs are far less expensive than structural repairs required after prolonged leaks.
