Storm Damage Roof Restoration
Hurricane, tropical storm, hail or high wind, ARC Roofing handles it from start to finish: inspection, emergency tarping, documentation for your insurance claim, a new or repaired roof, and restoring the inside of your home.
What to Do After a Storm Damages Your Roof
Short answer: stay safe, stop the water, document everything, then get a professional inspection before you sign anything.
- Stay safe. Stay off the roof and out of rooms with sagging ceilings or standing water near electrical outlets.
- Limit the damage. Move belongings away from leaks and catch dripping water.
- Take photos of damage from the ground and inside the house, including anything that got wet.
- Call for tarping if water is getting in. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage.
- Contact your insurance company to start a claim, then schedule an inspection.
Signs of Storm Damage
Missing or creased shingles, exposed nails, torn ridge caps, dents in metal roofing, gutters and vents, granules washed into gutters, fallen limbs and new water stains inside are all signs your roof needs a closer look. Some wind damage, like shingles that were lifted and resealed, is hard to see from the ground.

Beware of Storm Chasers
After big storms, out-of-town crews often go door to door. Before you sign, ask for a local address and phone number, proof of licensing and insurance, and a written estimate. Be cautious of anyone asking for large payments up front. We are a local Mobile and Baldwin County company, and we will be here after the storm has passed.

Storm Damage FAQs
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
As soon as it is safe. Some damage is hard to see from the ground and can leak weeks later. Insurance policies also have time limits for reporting damage, so check your policy.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
If water is coming in, arrange emergency tarping right away to prevent more damage. Then report the claim to your insurer. A roofer’s inspection and photos can help you understand the full extent of the damage before the adjuster visits.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover sudden wind and hail damage, but coverage, deductibles and wind or hurricane deductibles vary by policy. Your insurance company decides what is covered.
Can you restore the inside of my home too?
Yes. We handle water damage drying, drywall, paint and interior restoration, plus demolition and debris removal when needed.
