What Storm Damage Repair Involves
Storm damage repair starts with a rapid damage inspection. We climb up, check for missing shingles, dented gutters, torn flashing, and any place where water could seep into the decking. If the roof is actively leaking, we install a tarp secured with ring-shank nails to stop further intrusion. That tarp is temporary, but it buys you time while we document every bruise and crease for your insurance claim.
The permanent repair depends on the damage. Sometimes it's a matter of replacing a few shingles and resealing the flashing around your chimney and step flashing. Other times, the hail was severe enough that the shingles have granule loss, the underlayment is exposed, and the decking has started to rot. In that case, we tear off the old roof, replace any damaged decking, lay down self-adhered ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, and install new shingles in staggered courses with a proper starter course. We also check the drip edge, fascia, soffit, and downspouts to make sure the whole system drains water away from your foundation.
We work with insurance-approved manufacturers like GAF and Owens Corning, so your replacement shingles are backed by a real warranty. And we handle the building code requirements for Denver, including proper ventilation and ice dam protection.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
After a hailstorm, walk around your house and look up. Marble-sized hail leaves distinct marks on asphalt shingles — little dark circles where the granules have been knocked off. You might also see cracked or split shingles, or pieces of shingle in the yard. Check the gutters for an unusual amount of granules; that's a sign the shingles are eroding.
Inside, look for water stains on the ceiling or in the attic. A musty smell or damp insulation means moisture is wicking through the roof deck. If you see daylight through the roof boards, that's an emergency — call us right away. Wind damage can lift or curl shingles, exposing the underlayment. And in winter, ice dams can form at the eaves, forcing water back under the shingles and into your walls.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
1. Rapid Response. Call us at 7207840657. We answer 24/7 and can usually get a crew to your home the same day, especially in Capitol Hill, Five Points, Cherry Creek, Washington Park, or Highland.
2. Emergency Tarping. If there's an active leak, we tarp the damaged area to stop water from ruining your ceiling, insulation, and floors.
3. Documentation. We take photos of every piece of damage, note the storm date, and prepare a line-item estimate using Xactimate — the same software your insurance adjuster uses. This makes the claims process smoother.
4. Adjuster Coordination. We meet your adjuster on-site, point out the damage, and make sure nothing is missed. If they underpay, we file a supplemental claim.
5. Permanent Repair. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the repair. For a full replacement, we tear off the old roof, replace decking where needed, install ice-and-water shield, and lay new shingles. We clean up with a magnetic nail sweep so your yard is safe for kids and pets.
Cost Considerations in Denver
Storm damage repair costs vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the size of your roof. A simple repair — replacing a few shingles and flashing — might run $300 to $800. A full roof replacement on a typical Denver home runs $5,000 to $12,000, or about $350 to $550 per square (100 square feet). If the decking is rotted or you need new gutters and downspouts, that adds to the total.
The good news: if the damage was caused by a storm, your homeowners insurance likely covers it, minus your deductible. We help you document everything so you get the maximum settlement. We also offer free estimates, so you know the cost before we start.
Warranty & Insurance
We register your new roof with the manufacturer — GAF or Owens Corning — so you get a 25- to 50-year warranty on the shingles. That warranty covers manufacturing defects, and some plans are transferable if you sell your home. Our workmanship is backed by our own guarantee, and we're fully licensed and insured in Colorado.
For insurance claims, we don't just fix the roof — we handle the paperwork. We'll walk you through the claim, provide the Xactimate estimate, and even talk to your adjuster for you. If the insurance company tries to lowball you, we'll push back with documentation. You shouldn't have to fight for what you're owed.
Why Choose Denver Roofing Team for Storm Damage Repair in Denver?
Denver sits at 5,280 feet above sea level, where the sun is intense and the weather swings from 80 degrees to a snowstorm in a day. That takes a toll on roofs. We know the local building codes and the common failure points — like ice dams on older Victorian bungalows in Baker or wind damage on the exposed rooftops of Washington Park. We're a local crew, not a national franchise, so we care about our reputation in this city. When you call us, you get a straight answer, a fair price, and a roof that will hold up to the next hailstorm.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair
Active Leak During Storm
Water dripping from your ceiling or pooling in the attic means the roof is compromised. A tarp can stop the damage until we make a permanent repair.
Missing Shingles After Wind
High winds can tear shingles clean off, leaving your underlayment exposed. Check your yard for debris and call us before rain gets in.
Hail Strike Marks
Marble-sized hail leaves dark, bruised spots on shingles where granules are knocked loose. If you see them, the roof's protection is compromised.
Sudden Interior Water Staining
A brown circle on your ceiling often appears hours after a storm, as water seeps through the decking. Don't wait — the rot spreads quickly.
Tree Impact or Falling Debris
A branch or loose debris can puncture the roof, creating a direct path for water. Even small holes need immediate tarping and repair.
Ice Dams at the Eaves
Sudden temperature swings in Denver cause ice dams that push water under the shingles. If you see icicles on the fascia, you may have interior damage.
