Signs of Storm Damage

Fallen tree branches, hail, wind, and flying debris are typical causes of roof damage during a storm. Once you’re sure that a storm has passed, you can perform a simple visual inspection of your roof from the ground using a pair of binoculars. Look for holes in the roof, missing shingles, split seams, or dented shingles. You also need to search for any leaks in your roof and ceiling. If you see an accumulation of granules in your gutters, it may be a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its service life. Call us for an inspection to be sure.

Criteria for Roofing Contractors

If you see any storm damage, then it’s important that you call a reliable roof repair expert. The National Storm Damage Center recommends making sure the contractor is an established company with an excellent reputation and track record. They must have insurance claims experience and be able to provide at least three local references. They should also be fully insured with liability and workers’ compensation, and they must pass a background check. Fortunately, KangaRoof Austin meets all these criteria.
