Storm Damage Repair in New Jersey: What's Included
Storm damage repair in New Jersey usually means wind: nor'easters and summer thunderstorms lift shingles, crease them, and tear off ridge caps. Hail is less common here, but it leaves bruised shingles that fail years later. A storm visit covers:
- Inspection of every slope, not just the visible damage
- Dated photos and notes on what the storm did
- Tarping if the roof is open
- A written estimate for the repair
- The repair itself, with matched shingles and new flashing where needed
Hail, Wind and What They Leave Behind
Wind damage shows as missing shingles, lifted tabs, and horizontal creases where a shingle was bent back and its seal broke. A broken seal is damage even if the shingle lies back down, because the next wind lifts it again.
Hail leaves dark bruises where granules were knocked off, soft spots in the shingle mat, and dents in gutters and vents. Both are easy to miss from the ground, which is why an inspection after a big storm is worth it even when nothing looks wrong.

Storm Damage Repair Cost: What Drives the Price
- Extent
- A few missing shingles versus a whole slope.
- Matching
- Discontinued shingles can mean replacing more than the damaged area.
- Hidden damage
- Broken seals and bruising that can't be seen from the ground.
- Decking
- Water that got in before the roof was covered.
If insurance is involved, your deductible and your carrier's assessment shape what you pay.
Thinking about storm damage repair? We inspect, photograph what we find and put the price in writing. Free, with no obligation.
Warranty and Materials
Repairs use new underlayment and flashing wherever the roof is opened, with the warranty written into the estimate. If the storm finished off a roof that was already near the end, we'll tell you and price a replacement alongside the repair.
Not sure the storm did anything? A post-storm roof inspection will tell you.

Storm Damage Repair FAQs
Still have a question?
(201) 757-3945How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Shingles in the yard, missing ridge caps or new leaks are the obvious signs. Lifted or creased shingles and hail bruising usually can't be seen from the ground, so an inspection is the only way to know.
Should I call my insurer or a roofer first?
If the roof is open, get it covered first; your policy will expect you to prevent further damage. Then contact your insurer. An inspection with dated photos before the adjuster visits helps you understand what you're claiming.
Is storm damage always visible from the ground?
No. Broken shingle seals and hail bruising often can't be seen without getting on the roof.
What if the damage is minor?
Then the repair is minor. Small wind damage left alone tends to grow, because loose shingles lift further in the next storm.
