Storm Damage Roofing | Green Slate Roofing & Siding

What storm damage actually looks like

Not every storm leaves obvious damage. Knowing what to look for helps you decide whether an inspection is worth booking.

• Hail strike marks. Granule loss, soft spots in the asphalt mat, bruising, and broken seal strips. Hail also dents soft metals (gutter aprons, vents, flashing) — we use those as indicators when shingle damage is borderline.
• Wind damage. Lifted, creased, or missing shingles — especially on the windward slope and at field-to-edge transitions. A creased shingle has lost its seal even if it’s still in place.
• Impact damage. Tree limbs, blown debris, ice and snow buildup. Visible punctures are obvious; what we watch for are the secondary impacts that loosened nearby fasteners.
• Accelerated wear. A roof that was already nearing end-of-life often fails faster after a major storm event. Worth checking even when the storm felt mild.

Our inspection process

1. Schedule. Free inspection visit. We come out, walk the roof, and document conditions on the ground, on the roof deck, and (where accessible) in the attic.
2. Document. Photos of every relevant condition — field shingles, valleys, penetrations, soft-metal hits, gutter and downspout condition, interior moisture signs. The photo record stays with the file.
3. Report. A written scope explaining what we found and what the recommended next steps are — spot repair, larger repair, or replacement.
4. Decide. You decide whether to move forward. If the damage qualifies for an insurance restoration claim, we provide the photos, scope, and measurements your carrier will ask for — the claim itself stays between you and your carrier.

Repair coordination & documentation

We coordinate the actual roof work. That means scoping the repair, ordering materials, managing the install crew, and walking the finished job with you. What we don’t do is speak for you with your insurance carrier or position ourselves as your representative on the claim. Colorado law draws a clear line between contractor and adjuster, and Green Slate stays on the contractor side of that line. See our insurance restoration page for how we document the scope your carrier needs.

What we provide for storm-damage restoration projects:

• A photo-documented scope of damage
• Measurements (squares, linear feet of ridge / hip / valley, penetrations)
• A repair or replacement estimate based on the documented scope
• Coordination with the carrier’s field adjuster on a re-inspection if needed
• Clear written communication on what’s included and what isn’t
