Storm Damage Roofs

Nor'easters, tropical storms and heavy wind-driven rain in Stamford, CT can strip shingles, lift roof edges and loosen flashing, letting water into attics and ceilings. If water is coming in and it is safe, move belongings away, set out buckets and stay off the roof, then call to reach a roofing contractor.

Signs of storm damage after a nor'easter
Shingles missing or folded back, bare spots on the shingle surface, a lifted ridge cap, bent or loose flashing, granules washed into gutters, a fresh ceiling stain, damp attic insulation or daylight through the roof boards can all point to storm damage.

What the contractor may do
The roofer you are connected with can check the roof up close, note each damaged area, put temporary protection such as a tarp over openings, and tell you whether repair or replacement fits. Take dated photos from the ground and indoors for any claim; the policy sets coverage and the insurer decides.

Call about storm damage and say when the storm hit, where water is getting in, and whether anything already covers the damaged area.
