The Importance of a Post-Storm Roof Inspection

Severe weather—whether it’s high winds, hail, or a relentless downpour—can leave hidden damage to your roof and home exterior. Even minor issues, if left unchecked, can turn into costly repairs and headaches later on. Regular inspections following a storm are one of the best ways to protect your investment and ensure your home stays safe and sound. Here are five essential steps to take:

1. Call a Long-Standing, Award-Winning Company
   When it comes to something as critical as your roof, expertise and experience matter. Reach out to a company with a proven track record in your area—like Mallard Construction—to make sure the job is done right the first time. We’ve earned our reputation by delivering reliable, high-quality services you can trust.

2. Perform a Preliminary Visual Check
   Before the pros arrive, take a cautious look around—safely from the ground—for visible signs of damage. Missing or curled shingles, damaged gutters, and debris on the roof can indicate more serious issues. Make note of anything unusual so you can share it with your inspector.

3. Schedule a Professional On-Site Inspection
   A professional inspection dives deeper than what you can see from the ground. Experienced inspectors know what to look for, including subtle cracks, leaks, compromised flashing, and hidden moisture damage. This thorough evaluation helps you understand the true extent of the storm’s impact.

4. Contact Your Insurance Provider
   Once you have an initial assessment, it’s time to loop in your insurance company. Your inspector’s report can help document damage and support any claims you need to file. Having organized information on hand can streamline the claim process and maximize your coverage benefits.

5. Get a Plan of Action and Schedule Repairs
   Work with your roofing professionals to develop a clear, step-by-step repair plan. With the right company, you’ll get quality craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and helpful guidance throughout the process—so you can rest easy knowing your home is in good hands.
