Storm Damage Roof Repair in Duluth

From the driveway, most storm damage is invisible. That is not an accident of bad eyesight. Hail typically leaves bruises, not holes: darkened circles where granules were knocked off, sometimes with a cracked mat underneath. Wind slips under shingle edges, snaps the adhesive and folds tabs back, and the shingle may drop flat again looking innocent. Either way, water starts sneaking in, and the stain shows up months later when the link to the storm is long forgotten. That gap is exactly where homeowners lose out. So we close it. We walk every face of the roof, including the back slopes nobody sees from the street. Hail strikes get chalk-circled and counted. Edges along rakes and the ridge get lifted gently to test the seal. Vent caps, gutters and downspouts get checked for dents that confirm hail size. All of it is photographed, dated and organized, so it can stand as evidence. Then you get the honest answer. Scattered hits get mended with matched shingles sealed down. Damage across many faces usually means replacement, and the evidence is ready if you file. Tree limbs come down less often, but when one lands on a Duluth roof, the plywood beneath gets checked as well.
