Professional Wind Damage Roof Repair

Rhode Island’s coastal location means frequent high winds from nor’easters, thunderstorms, and seasonal storms. Wind damage can lift shingles, tear flashing, and compromise your roof’s protection. Even moderate winds can exploit weak spots, creating leaks and structural issues. At 757 Exteriors Inc., we specialize in wind damage assessment and repair. Our team identifies both visible damage and hidden vulnerabilities, providing complete restoration that protects your property.

Wind Damage FAQs

How much wind does it take to damage a roof?

Most asphalt shingle roofs withstand winds up to 90-110 mph when properly installed. However, damage can occur at lower speeds (50-60 mph) if materials are aging or improperly installed. Roof edges and corners are most vulnerable to wind uplift forces.

Can wind damage be repaired or does the whole roof need replacement?

Localized wind damage often qualifies for spot repairs if your roof is in good overall condition. Extensive damage, older roofs, or widespread issues may require full replacement. We provide honest assessments based on damage extent, roof age, and long-term value.

Will my insurance cover wind damage repairs?

Most homeowners policies cover sudden wind damage from storms. Some Rhode Island coastal policies have separate wind/hurricane deductibles. We provide comprehensive documentation and work directly with adjusters through our insurance claims assistance to maximize your coverage.

How quickly should wind damage be repaired?

Wind damage needs prompt attention to prevent water intrusion. Even minor shingle loss creates pathways for leaks. We recommend professional inspection within 24-48 hours of significant wind events. Emergency tarping may be needed immediately for large exposed areas.
