Storm Damage Roof Repair in Philadelphia & Bucks County

When a storm rolls through Philadelphia or Bucks County, the damage it leaves on your roof is not always obvious from the ground. High winds lift and tear off shingles, hail bruises and cracks them, and a fallen limb can open a hole in minutes. Union Roofing provides storm damage roof repair for homes and businesses across Philadelphia, Bucks County, and the South Jersey shore. We are a family-run, fully licensed and insured company with more than 40 years of experience, and every job starts with a thorough inspection, clear documentation, and a free estimate.

Storm Damage We Repair

Our region sees heavy summer thunderstorms, nor’easters, winter ice, and sudden high winds. Each one stresses a roof in a different way. These are the types of storm damage roofing work we handle most often:

• Wind damage. High winds can loosen or completely remove shingles, leaving the underlayment exposed to moisture. Wind also lifts flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges. Our wind damage roof repair secures or replaces displaced materials, reseals flashing, and restores the roof’s resistance to the next storm.
• Hail damage. Hail can dent, crack, or bruise shingles and knock off the granules that protect them. Granule loss weakens the surface and can shorten your roof’s lifespan, even when the roof looks fine from the street. We identify hidden impact areas and replace the affected sections.
• Fallen trees and limbs. Branches and wind-blown debris can puncture, crack, or crush roofing and the decking beneath it. This kind of damage often causes sudden leaks and usually needs attention right away.
• Ice and winter storm damage. Snow, ice, and melt can force water under shingles and around flashing. Once water gets past the roof covering, it can reach insulation, ceilings, and walls.

We work on residential and commercial roofs, and we repair all of the common roofing systems in the area. If the storm hit an older roof that was already near the end of its life, we will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether a storm damage roof replacement is the better value.

What to Do the Moment You Spot Storm Damage

After a storm, look for these warning signs that your roof needs a professional inspection:

• Missing shingles, or shingles lying in the yard
• Excess shingle granules collecting in your gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
• Damaged or lifted flashing around chimneys, vents, or roof edges
• Ceiling stains or interior moisture that were not there before the storm

If you see any of them, here is what to do next:

• Stay off the roof. Storm-damaged roofs are slippery and can be weakened in places you cannot see. Leave climbing and tarping to a crew with the right safety equipment.
• Protect the inside of your home. Put buckets and towels under any drips and move valuables away from the water.
• Take photos from the ground and indoors. Note the date of the storm. This record helps if you decide to file an insurance claim.
• Call for help. If water is coming in, call us right away. Union Roofing provides 24/7 emergency roof repair, and we can tarp the roof and install temporary protection to stop active water flow until a full repair is completed.

Working With Your Insurance Claim

Many homeowners file an insurance claim after a major storm, and clear documentation makes that process much easier. Every storm damage roof inspection we complete is documented with photographs and a written assessment, so you have an accurate record of what the storm did to your roof.

• Documentation. We photograph the damage and prepare a written report you can share with your insurance company.
• Detailed estimate. You receive a detailed repair estimate that spells out the recommended work.
• Coordination. When needed, we coordinate with your insurance provider so the information they receive about your roof is clear and complete.

Every policy is different, and the decision on a claim is always made by your insurer. What we can do is make sure you have professional, accurate documentation to support it. If you are not sure whether to file, schedule an inspection first so you know the extent of the damage before you call your insurance company.

Our Storm Damage Repair Process and Response Time

When you call Union Roofing after a storm, you get a straightforward process from the first visit to the finished repair:

• Emergency protection if needed. For active leaks, we secure the area first with professional-grade tarps, sealants, or leak barriers. Most emergencies receive same-day service, often within a few hours depending on weather and traffic.
• Storm damage roof inspection. We assess the shingles, flashing, and roof penetrations to find both visible and hidden damage. Emergency inspections are free and include photos, notes, and a repair plan.
• Clear report and free estimate. You get a clear written report and a free estimate for the recommended work, with no pressure to commit.
• The repair. Our crew completes the wind, hail, or impact damage repair, or the replacement if that is the better option, using quality materials and professional installation standards.

Not every storm leaves an emergency behind. If you have no active leak but suspect hidden damage, book a roof inspection so small problems are found before the next storm turns them into leaks. For non-storm leaks and general wear, see our roof repair in Philadelphia page.

Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Common signs include missing shingles, granules in your gutters, lifted flashing, and new ceiling stains. Some damage, like hail bruising, is not visible from the ground, which is why a professional inspection after a major storm is worth it.

Do you offer emergency storm damage repair?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency roof repair. Most emergencies receive same-day service, often within a few hours depending on weather and traffic, and we can tarp your roof to stop active leaks.

Is a storm damage roof inspection free?

Emergency inspections are free and include photos, notes, and a repair plan. Every estimate for recommended work is free too, with no pressure to commit.

Will you help with my insurance claim?

We document the damage with photographs and a written assessment, provide a detailed repair estimate, and coordinate with your insurance provider when needed. The decision on your claim is made by your insurer.

Should I repair or replace a storm-damaged roof?

It depends on how widespread the damage is and the age and condition of the rest of the roof. Localized damage on a healthy roof can usually be repaired. Widespread damage on an older roof often makes replacement the better value. We will explain the options plainly after the inspection.
