Common Types of Storm Damage in Connecticut

Connecticut roofs take a beating from nor’easters, summer thunderstorms, hail, and winter ice. We wrote about why in the Connecticut roof survival guide. After a storm the damage is not always visible from the ground. A few missing shingles or a small stain can point to a roof that needs more than a patch. Here is what we look for during a free storm damage inspection, and the signs that mean it is time to have your roof checked. Storms rarely stop at the roof, so we check siding and gutters for storm damage during the same visit. If it wasn’t storm related, start with a free roof inspection instead.

Wind Damage

High winds lift, crease, and tear off shingles and expose the underlayment. Look for missing or flapping shingles and shingle debris in the yard after a storm.

Hail Damage

Hail bruises shingles and knocks the protective granules loose. Granules in the gutters, dented flashing and pockmarked vents are common signs, and hard to see from the ground.

Tree and Debris

Fallen limbs puncture shingles and dent flashing. Even after the branch is cleared, the impact leaves bruising and cracked seals that turn into a leak a season later.

Water and Leaks

Water stains on a ceiling or wall mean water is already getting in. The longer it sits, the further it spreads into the decking and the framing behind it.

Winter Ice Dams

Ice dams force water back under the shingles at the eaves, and freeze and thaw cycles crack aging shingles. Our guide to the New England ice dam covers what actually stops them.

Siding and Gutters

Wind and hail damage siding and gutters too. Cracked panels, dented runs and pulled-off downspouts show up alongside roof damage. We check all of it on the same visit.

Fast Response to Stop Further Damage

When water is getting in, the first job is stopping it. Calls from Southington and the towns around it usually get a visit the next day, because the crew is thirty minutes away rather than driving in from out of state behind a storm.

Next-Day Response

We schedule an emergency visit, usually the next day. Homes with water actively coming in go to the front of that day’s list, ahead of estimates and routine calls.

Tarp and Secure

We tarp and secure the roof so water stops getting in while you decide what happens next. That buys you time to think without the ceiling getting worse every night.

Photographed Before the Tarp

We photograph everything before the tarp goes on. An adjuster arriving a week later sees the tarp, not the storm, and undocumented damage is why claims come back short.

Working With Your Insurance Company

Most storm damage roof work in Connecticut goes through a homeowners insurance claim. When a covered storm causes the damage, your policy typically pays for the roof minus your deductible.

Claims move faster when the damage is documented correctly the first time. We get up on the roof, photograph every area of storm and hail damage, and put together a detailed report of what we found for your insurance company, with the measurements they need to scope the work.

We meet your adjuster on site and walk the roof with them so the approved scope matches the real damage. You are not left arguing about coverage on your own.

When Storm Damage Means a Full Roof Replacement

Not every storm takes a roof. A few lifted shingles on a roof with years left is a different situation from hail across every slope. What decides it is how far the damage spreads and how much life the shingles had before the storm hit.

Storm damage roof replacement is the right answer when the bruising or granule loss shows up across the whole roof rather than one section, when wind has broken the seal on shingles well beyond the visible damage, or when water has already reached the decking. Insurance companies know this. When the damage is widespread, a full replacement is usually what gets approved, because patching a beat-up roof just fails again in the next storm.

Epic Exteriors is a replacement and installation contractor. When the inspection shows the roof needs replacing, we replace it with a complete GAF system built for Connecticut weather, which is what makes the stronger GAF warranty coverage available. We supply the documentation your insurer asks for along the way.

1. Free Inspection

We get up on the roof, photograph the damage, and document everything your insurance company needs.

2. Report to Your Insurer

A detailed report of what we found goes to your insurer, so the claim starts from an accurate picture.

3. Meet the Adjuster

We meet your adjuster on site to confirm the scope so nothing gets missed.

4. Roof Replaced

Once approved, we replace the roof with a complete GAF system built for CT weather.

From Inspection to a Finished Roof

Epic Exteriors focuses on full roof replacement and new installation. After a storm we start with a free inspection. If the roof still has service life, we tell you. If it is too far gone, we replace it with a complete GAF system built for Connecticut weather. Either way, you get the facts before you spend anything.

What Else the Storm Hit

Wind and hail rarely stop at the shingles. We check the rest of the exterior on the same visit, so everything that took damage goes into one claim instead of turning up later as a second one.

Storm Damage FAQ

Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. Common signs are missing or lifted shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, dented flashing or vents, and water stains on a ceiling. A free storm inspection is the only way to know for sure. We photograph what we find and show you.

Often, yes. When a covered storm causes the damage, most homeowner policies pay for the roof minus your deductible. You open the claim with your carrier, and we send them a detailed report of what we found on the roof so the scope they work from reflects the actual damage.

Most policies give you a window, often a year or more from the date of the storm, but it varies by carrier and policy. The sooner the damage is documented, the stronger the claim. We can inspect and document it for you at no cost.

Stay off the roof. If water is getting in, call us and we will come out, usually the next day, to tarp and secure it. Then we run a full inspection and document the damage, so you have what you need when you open the claim.

Yes, and it usually helps the claim rather than hurting it. Most policies put a duty on you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage once you know about it, so water that keeps coming in for a week afterwards can be argued back at you. The tarp cost is normally recoverable as part of the claim, so keep the receipt. We photograph everything before the tarp goes on, which is what keeps the original damage in the file.

No. Calls that come in overnight get picked up first thing, and homes with water actively coming in go to the front of that day’s schedule. If you need someone on a roof at two in the morning, we are not that company and we would rather say so than take the call and not show.

With an approved insurance claim, your out-of-pocket is usually your deductible. Without a claim it depends on the scope, and we give you a free written estimate before any work starts.

Yes. We document the damage and work with your adjuster through the claim so the covered scope is right.

Sometimes, and it depends on how far the damage spreads. Isolated damage on a roof with service life left is one thing. Hail or wind across every slope, or water that has reached the decking, is another. When the damage is widespread, a full storm damage roof replacement is usually what the inspection and the insurance scope both point to.

Southington and the towns around it, including Bristol, New Britain, Hartford, Cheshire, Plainville and Manchester. Staying close is how we get out quickly after a storm. If you’re outside that, call us anyway and we’ll let you know if we can get to you.
