Recognizing Storm Damage on Your Roof


Understanding how to spot signs of storm damage early can save you from costly repairs down the line. At BMR Building Solutions, we want to empower homeowners with the knowledge to identify potential issues before they escalate. Here’s what to look out for:

Hail Damage:

  • Appearance: Look for dents, bruises, or circular cracks on your shingles.
  • Potential Impact: These damages can compromise the roof’s structural integrity, leading to leaks.

Wind Damage:

  • Appearance: Missing shingles, curling, or lifting edges are clear signs of wind damage.
  • Potential Impact: Wind can expose the underlayment or roof deck, increasing the risk of water intrusion and further structural damage.

Water Damage:

  • Appearance: Water stains on your ceilings or walls and missing granules from shingles (which might accumulate in gutters) are indicators of water damage.
  • Potential Impact: Ongoing water intrusion can rot wood, cause mold growth, and weaken the overall structure of your roof.

Understanding Your Roof Repair Options


The age of your roof plays a critical role in determining the best approach for storm repair. For newer roofs with isolated damage, repairs are often sufficient and cost-effective. However, older roofs might require a more cautious approach. Attempting to replace shingles on an older roof can cause damage to adjacent shingles, which may not withstand the repair due to their brittleness.

Our Process: From Roof Inspection to Repair


At BMR Building Solutions, transparency, quality workmanship, and clear communication are the cornerstones of our service. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our process:

  1. Initial Roof Inspection:
    • We begin with a thorough storm damage roof inspection to evaluate the damage and the overall integrity of your roof. This crucial first step ensures that we fully understand the extent of the damage and can provide a detailed assessment.
  1. Discussing Options:
    • Based on the inspection findings, we discuss the most sensible repair options with you:
      • Repair: Ideal for newer roofs or when damage is minor and localized.
      • Partial Replacement: Suitable for localized damage where a section of the roof is significantly affected.
      • Full Replacement: Recommended if extensive damage compromises the roof’s integrity or if the roof is nearing the end of its life expectancy.
  1. Planning and Execution:
    • Once a plan is agreed upon, we schedule the repair work at a time that’s convenient for you. Our team of skilled roofers uses only the highest-quality materials and the latest techniques to ensure your roof is repaired or replaced efficiently and effectively.
  1. Quality Assurance and Final Walkthrough:
    • After the work is completed, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our high standards and your expectations. We explain what has been done and address any concerns you might have.
  1. Ongoing Support:
    • Our commitment to you doesn’t end when the job is done. We provide ongoing support and advice to help maintain the integrity of your roof in the years to come.

Through each step of the process, BMR Building Solutions ensures that you are not only informed but also comfortable with the progress. Our aim is not just to repair your roof but to build a lasting relationship based on trust and quality service.
