After the Storm Passes
Do Not Wait for a Leak to Confirm Roof Damage
Short answer: Request an inspection when hail, strong wind or windblown debris hits the property, especially if nearby roofs were damaged. Storm damage may show up as bruised shingles, loosened fasteners, open seams, cracked tile, displaced edge metal or flashing damage long before water reaches the ceiling.
- Hail Impact Hail can fracture or bruise shingles, dent metal, crack tile and damage vents or roof accessories.
- Wind Uplift Raised tabs, creased shingles, loose panels and displaced edge details can leave the system vulnerable to the next storm.
- Debris Damage Branches and airborne debris can puncture membranes, break roofing and damage gutters, flashing or rooftop equipment.
- Interior Moisture Stains, damp insulation, musty odors or dripping water require prompt source tracing and damage control.

What a Post-Storm Roof Inspection Should Cover
A quick glance from the driveway is not enough. Storm damage can be directional, scattered across separate roof slopes or concentrated around edges and penetrations. A useful evaluation records the affected components, separates storm damage from age-related wear and establishes whether the roof can be repaired safely and correctly.
Roof Surface Inspection
Evaluate each accessible slope or roof area for hail marks, creases, punctures, fractures, displacement and material loss.
Flashing and Edge Check
Inspect valleys, walls, penetrations, ridge materials, edge metal, fasteners, laps and transitions for movement or separation.
Interior Moisture Review
Review accessible attic or interior evidence when relevant to trace water entry and identify wet insulation or finishes.
Photo Documentation
Record visible conditions and affected locations so the owner can understand what was found and what work is proposed.
Repair or Replacement Scope
Explain whether damage is localized and repairable or widespread enough to make replacement the responsible path.
The Magic Roofing Storm Process
From Immediate Protection to Permanent Roof Work
The first priority is safety and stopping additional damage. The permanent scope comes after the roof can be inspected, documented and evaluated as a complete system. Skipping those steps creates weak patches, incomplete estimates and confusion about what the storm actually damaged.
1
Report the Damage
Share the address, storm date, visible problems, active leaks and any photos that can be taken safely from the ground.
2
Protect the Property
When conditions require it and access is safe, stabilize vulnerable areas or plan temporary protection to limit further water entry.
3
Inspect and Document
Evaluate accessible roof areas, flashing, penetrations, drainage and relevant interior evidence, then record visible conditions.
4
Approve the Scope
Review the recommended repair or replacement work, materials, known exclusions and any conditions that may change after removal.
5
Complete Permanent Work
Remove temporary measures when appropriate, rebuild damaged roof details and document remaining maintenance concerns.
Damage Varies by Roof System
Hail and Wind Do Not Affect Every Roof the Same Way
The inspection and repair method must fit the existing roof. Damage patterns, fastening methods, underlayment, seams, penetrations and repair materials change from shingles to metal, tile and low-slope membranes.
Hail Bruising and Wind Creases
Asphalt Shingle Damage
Look for fractured mats, displaced granules, lifted tabs, torn shingles, exposed fasteners and damage around ridge and edge materials.

Farmington Roofs Face More Than One Type of Storm Damage
Hail can strike one roof slope harder than another, while strong winds attack edges, ridges, loose materials and poorly secured flashing. Monsoon rain can then exploit damage the wind created minutes earlier. Dust and debris may also block drainage or hide small openings.
Magic Roofing looks at how the event interacted with the whole roof: storm direction, roof orientation, material age, previous repairs, exposed fasteners, wall transitions, rooftop equipment, gutters and the path water could take into the property.

Repair Scope and Insurance Documentation
Get the Roof Scope Right Before Work Begins
Storm work becomes a mess when the owner, contractor and insurer are looking at different damage or different repair assumptions. Magic Roofing can inspect the roof, document visible conditions and prepare a roofing scope. Your insurance company decides coverage, payment and policy interpretation.
What Should Be Documented?
Storm date, affected roof areas, visible damage, temporary protection, relevant interior evidence, proposed materials and the permanent work scope.
Repair or Full Replacement?
Localized damage may support repair when surrounding material remains serviceable. Widespread impacts, brittle roofing or unmatchable systems may change the recommendation.
Who Decides Insurance Coverage?
The insurer interprets the policy and determines coverage. The roofing contractor documents roof conditions and prices the work it is qualified to perform.
Do not sign a vague storm contract built around whatever the insurance company pays. Request a clear roofing scope, understand what is included and confirm how uncovered or concealed conditions will be handled before authorizing permanent work.

Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
Farmington Storm Damage Questions
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a storm?
Schedule promptly after hail, strong wind or debris impact, especially when nearby properties show visible damage. Active leaks, missing roofing, loose metal or fallen debris require faster attention. Delaying allows the next wind or rain event to enlarge openings and damage decking, insulation or interior finishes.
What are common signs of hail damage on a roof?
Signs vary by material. Asphalt shingles may show bruising, fractured mats or localized granule loss. Metal can show dents, especially around seams or functional details. Tile may crack or shatter. Vents, caps, gutters and soft metal components can also provide useful evidence, but an on-roof inspection is needed to determine whether the roof system was functionally damaged.
Can a roof have storm damage without leaking?
Yes. Wind can loosen or crease roofing without immediately creating an open hole, and hail can weaken materials that remain temporarily watertight. Flashing, seams and fasteners may also move enough to fail during a later storm. No visible interior leak does not prove the roof escaped damage.
Should I climb onto the roof to take pictures?
No. Wet surfaces, loose materials, steep slopes, electrical hazards and concealed structural damage can make post-storm roofs dangerous. Take only safe ground-level photos. Let a qualified roofing professional determine whether and how the roof can be accessed.
Can storm damage be repaired, or will I need a new roof?
That depends on the distribution and severity of damage, roof age, material condition and whether new materials can be integrated into the existing system. Localized damage may qualify for targeted roof repair. Widespread impacts, extensive uplift, brittle roofing or damage across multiple roof areas may make replacement more responsible.
Will Magic Roofing work with my insurance claim?
Magic Roofing can inspect the roof, document visible conditions and provide a roofing scope or estimate. Your insurance carrier determines coverage and interprets the policy. Homeowners should report the loss according to policy requirements and keep copies of photos, temporary-protection invoices and contractor documents.
What should I do if rain is entering the house now?
Keep people away from wet electrical fixtures or sagging ceilings, move belongings when it is safe and use containers to limit interior spread. Do not climb onto the roof during a storm. Call for emergency service so current response options and safe temporary protection can be discussed. For ongoing moisture with no confirmed storm event, request a roof leak inspection.
Can you match storm-damaged shingles, metal or tile?
Matching depends on whether the original product is still manufactured, local availability, age and weathering. The replacement may perform correctly without being visually identical. Magic Roofing should explain known matching limitations before permanent repair work begins.
Which areas do you serve for storm damage roof repair?
Farmington and San Juan County are the primary service area, including Aztec, Bloomfield, Kirtland, Flora Vista, La Plata and Navajo Dam. Qualifying Four Corners work may be available depending on the storm, project scope, travel, crew scheduling and applicable licensing.
