Quick answer: After a storm: stay off the roof, take photos from the ground, stop active leaks with a tarp, call your insurance company, and get a roofer's damage report before you sign anything with anyone knocking on your door.
Safety first
Stay off the roof and away from downed lines. Wet roofs are slick and storm damage hides weak spots.
Document everything
Take photos and video from the ground and inside the house before anything gets cleaned up.
- Missing shingles or tiles
- Ceiling stains
- Debris on the roof
- Gutters pulled loose
Stop the water
A tarp keeps a small problem from becoming a big one. Keep your receipts.
Watch out for storm chasers
Use a licensed local roofer. Check the license on the state's site before you sign.
