The weather in Northeast Ohio is pretty easy to fall in love with. The summers are warm, humid, and partly cloudy. They are almost picture-perfect. The winter season is freezing, snowy, and windy, which is ideal conditions for those that love the chilly snow-covered season. Although thunderstorms are common, they happen mostly in the spring and summer months. What accompanies those thunderstorms, many times is hail, damaging winds, and deadly lightning. Your home keeps you safe from these sometimes tragic storms.
What happens if your home takes the brunt of the hail and winds? Damage can occur. There are a few steps to take after storm damage. Let’s go through them.
Take Pictures
After the storm has passed, and it is safe to go outside, take several pictures showing the damage to your roof. Take a video if you can. Include pictures of missing shingles, damaged gutters, and other signs of damage. Make sure to take excellent pictures if branches are present or a tree has fallen on your roof. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to have more pictures, than not enough.

Contact Your Insurance Company
Much like your roofing contractor, your insurance company will send out an adjuster to look over your roof, take pictures and do an inspection. Review your insurance policy to understand the sections dealing with storm damage, water damage, and “acts of God.” The many pictures you have taken could assist them with judging the amount of damage.
Check Your Paperwork for Warranty Information
Not all roofing materials and manufacturers are the same when it comes to warranties. Read over your materials carefully so you understand more about your roof.
