How to Spot and Handle Roofing Storm Damage in New Jersey

    When a storm rolls through New Jersey, your roof takes the brunt of it. High winds, hail, and heavy rain can cause serious damage—often without you even realizing it. At RidgeBuilt Roofing, we specialize in helping homeowners throughout North Jersey assess and repair storm-related roofing issues quickly and professionally.

Common Types of Storm Damage to Roofs

      1. Missing or lifted shingles — Strong winds can rip shingles right off, exposing your roof deck to water damage.

      1. Cracked or bruised shingles — Hail and debris can impact shingle integrity, leading to leaks.

      1. Damaged flashing — Storms often loosen flashing around chimneys, skylights, or vents.

      1. Leaks and ceiling stains — Water infiltration may show up as wet spots or discoloration in your attic or ceiling.

    Signs You May Have Storm Damage

        • Granules in your gutters or driveway

        • Loose shingles around the property

        • Water stains on ceilings or walls

        • Dripping in the attic after heavy rain

      What to Do After the Storm

          1. Stay safe — Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Take pictures from the ground if visible damage exists.

          1. Call RidgeBuilt Roofing — We offer free storm damage assessments and can provide a written report for your insurance company.

          1. Document everything — Save all receipts and correspondence related to the storm and repairs.

        Will Insurance Cover the Damage?

        Most homeowner policies cover storm-related damage, but proper documentation and professional inspection are key. We work directly with adjusters to ensure nothing is overlooked.
