Storm damage
Wind damage roof repair
Wind damage breaks the seal between shingle courses, then creases, lifts or tears shingles off — usually along ridges, rakes, eaves and the windward side. Repair replaces damaged shingles and reseals the area; widespread creasing may justify replacing whole slopes.
- Typical time
- A few hours to a day.
- Repair or replace
- Repair isolated damage; replace slopes with widespread creasing.
Gulf Coast thunderstorms and tropical systems regularly bring gusts that break shingle seals. Damage isn't always visible from the ground: creased tabs can lie back down and look normal.
A roofer lifts tabs to check for broken seals and creases, photographs each one, and marks the pattern for the adjuster.

Wind Damage Roof Repair: common questions
How much wind damages a roof?
It depends on the shingle's rating and age. Older roofs can lose shingles at tropical-storm gusts; newer high-wind installations resist much more.
Is wind damage covered by insurance?
Sudden wind damage is typically covered subject to your deductible; on the coast, wind may fall under a separate TWIA policy.
