Wind Damage FAQs
What wind speed causes roof damage in North Carolina?
Winds 60+ mph can lift shingles and cause damage to standard roofs. Winds 70-90 mph (severe thunderstorm/tropical storm range) cause significant damage including lifted shingles, torn siding, and damaged gutters. Winds 100+ mph (hurricane force) cause severe structural damage, missing shingles, and complete roof sections blown off. North Carolina experiences all wind ranges: thunderstorm downbursts (60-80 mph), tropical storms (40-75 mph), hurricanes (75+ mph), and occasional tornadoes (100+ mph). Atlas StormMaster shingles we install are rated for 130 mph winds compared to standard 110 mph rating.
How do I know if I have wind damage to my roof?
Signs of wind damage include: missing shingles or sections of shingles, lifted or creased shingles, curled shingle edges, exposed nail heads where shingles lifted, torn or missing flashing around vents/chimneys, granule loss in concentrated areas, damaged or missing ridge caps, water stains on ceilings (from leaks), and siding damage on same side as wind direction. Damage often occurs on roof edges, corners, and ridges first. We provide free wind damage inspections including attic inspection for hidden water intrusion.
Will insurance cover wind damage repair?
Yes, homeowners insurance typically covers wind damage under dwelling coverage after your deductible. Some policies have separate wind/hail deductibles (often 1-5% of home value, higher than standard deductible). Coverage includes: roof repair/replacement, siding repair, gutter replacement, window/door replacement, structural repairs, and water damage from wind-driven rain. Not covered: wear and tear, maintenance neglect, or flood damage (requires separate flood insurance). You must prove damage was caused by specific wind event. We document all damage with photos, measurements, and weather data for your insurance claim.
Should I tarp my roof immediately after wind damage?
Yes, absolutely. Tarping prevents additional water damage, mold growth, and interior damage while your insurance claim processes. Your insurance policy requires you to prevent further damage ("duty to mitigate"). Tarping costs are typically reimbursed by insurance. We provide emergency tarping service same-day after storms (available 24/7). Proper tarping secures roof with boards and tarps that withstand additional weather. Don't attempt DIY tarping on steep roofs or in dangerous conditions - professional tarping is safer and more secure. Tarping buys time (2-4 weeks typically) for insurance adjuster inspection and claim approval.
