Storm & Hail Damage Inspection in St. Louis, MO

Missouri storms don't play fair. One spring afternoon it's sunny, and by dinner you've got quarter-size hail bouncing off your shingles and wind ripping down the gutters. Hail bruises the mat under your shingles and knocks off the granules that protect them. You often can't see it from the ground. Left alone, those soft spots turn into leaks a few months down the road, right when the next round of rain rolls in.

Here's how we handle it. A roofer climbs up and checks the whole surface, not just the side facing the street. We look for bruised shingles, cracked seals, dented vents and flashing, and damage to soft metal like gutters and downspouts. Everything gets photographed so you have a clear record. Then we sit down with you and explain what we found in plain words. If the roof's fine, we'll tell you that too. No scare tactics.

A lot of St. Louis homes carry old three-tab shingles or aging flat roofs, and the brick two-flats around Soulard, The Hill, and Tower Grove come with tricky chimney flashing and parapet walls that hail loves to find. We know these roofs. We also know how the insurance side works around here, so if your damage is real, we can lay out the photos and notes you'll need to file a claim. From Dogtown to Kirkwood to Florissant, we get out the same day and give you an honest read.
