Storm Damage Roof Repair: What Quad Cities Homeowners Need to Know 

Steps to Take After a Storm Damages Your Roof 

Severe storms in the Quad Cities can leave homeowners facing unexpected roof damage. Whether it’s high winds, hail, or heavy rain, your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. If your home has been impacted, knowing the right steps to take can make all the difference in preventing further damage and ensuring a smooth insurance claim process. 

At Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction, we specialize in storm damage roof repair and insurance claim assistance. Here’s what you need to know if your roof has been hit by a storm. 

 

1. Inspect Your Roof for Signs of Damage 

After a storm, perform a visual inspection of your roof from the ground. Look for: 

🔹 Missing or lifted shingles – Strong winds can rip shingles off or loosen them. 
🔹 Hail damage – Dented, bruised, or cracked shingles indicate hail impact. 
🔹 Granule loss – If you notice excessive granules in your gutters, your shingles may be compromised. 
🔹 Leaks inside your home – Water stains on ceilings or walls signal potential roof damage. 

⚠️ Safety First! If you suspect significant damage, avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Instead, schedule a professional inspection. 

 

2. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection 

Even if the damage isn’t obvious, a licensed roofing expert can identify hidden issues that might lead to leaks, structural damage, or long-term deterioration. 

At Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction, we provide: 

✔️ Free, no-obligation roof inspections 
✔️ Licensed drone inspections with AI technology to detect damage safely 
✔️ Fast assessments to help with insurance claims 

If we find storm-related damage, we’ll guide you through the next steps to restore your roof efficiently and affordably. 

 

3. Contact Your Insurance Provider 

Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover storm damage, but you’ll need to file a claim promptly. Here’s how: 

Document the damage – Take photos of your roof, siding, gutters, and any interior leaks. 
File a claim – Contact your insurance company to report the damage and start the claims process. 
Work with a public adjuster – If needed, we can help ensure you receive a fair claim settlement. 

🏡 Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction specializes in working with insurance companies to make the claims process hassle-free for homeowners. 

 

4. Get Immediate Repairs to Prevent Further Damage 

Delaying repairs can lead to water infiltration, mold growth, and costly structural issues. Whether your roof needs minor repairs or full replacement, our team is ready to: 

✔️ Tarp & secure your roof to prevent leaks 
✔️ Repair wind-damaged shingles 
✔️ Replace hail-damaged roofing materials 
✔️ Ensure your home meets current building codes 

We offer special financing options to help make storm repairs affordable. 

 

5. Choose a Trusted Local Roofing Contractor 

Unfortunately, storm-damaged areas often attract out-of-town “storm chasers” who offer quick fixes but leave homeowners with poor-quality work and no warranties. 

🚨 Beware of contractors who: 
❌ Pressure you into signing contracts immediately 
❌ Request full payment upfront 
❌ Lack local references or a physical business location 

At Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction, we are a local, award-winning roofing company, serving homeowners throughout the Quad Cities with integrity and expertise.
