Central Indiana Roof Damage

Storm season is well underway in the Hoosier State, and according to projected weather reports thunderstorms may be popping up more than usual throughout the summer as well. With more rain, wind and potentially hail on the forecast for the summer, it's important for homeowners to understand the current condition of their roofs.

As a trusted Indianapolis roofing company offering storm damage repair services, Rees Restoration knows better than anyone the signs of storm damage, when a full roof replacement is necessary, and the importance of timely repairs ahead of an active storm season.

Signs Your Roof Sustained Storm Damage

Spring 2025 brought a few sizable storms with it, so many homeowners in the state capital may have already sustained at least some damage. If you aren't sure whether or not your roof was affected by a recent rainfall, high wind or similar event, walk around the perimeter of your yard, viewing your roof from different angles. Some common signs of storm damage include:

  • Water Leaks
  • Curled or Buckled Shingles
  • Torn or Cracked Shingles
  • Loosened or Missing Shingles
  • Damage to Roof Vents 
  • Loosened or Torn Flashing
  • Dented Shingles or Gutters
  • Sagging Roofline

When to Get Repairs Vs. Roof Replacements

If you notice any sort of damage while assessing your roof, get in touch with an Indianapolis storm damage contractor sooner rather than later. If the damage only affected a minor portion of your roof, approximately 25% or less, a contractor is most likely going to recommend going ahead with roof repair services.

But when the extent of the damage covers a majority of your roofing materials, a whole new roof may be the more practical solution. Additionally, if the damage has already begun to affect the integrity of the roof and it's overall structure, an Indianapolis roof replacement may be the way to go.

Consider the Age of Your Current Roof

Even if your roof doesn't have any apparent damage, an aging roof also may not be able to adequately protect your home against any upcoming summer storms. If you can't remember when you last got your roof replaced, there are many places to check to help you determine the age of your current roof, including:

  • Local Government Building Permit Records
  • Previous Owners of Your Home
  • Ask Neighbors About the Age of Their Roofs
  • Home Inspection Report from Your Purchase Records
  • Records of Different Local Roofing Companies

Staying a Step Ahead of Stormy Conditions

No matter the extent of the damage currently, it's important for homeowners to schedule repairs before the next wave of summer storms hits. Even if a roofing issue seems relatively minor right now, that may not be the case after the next rainfall or high wind blows through town. Leaving a roof compromised ahead of storm season could very easily lead to more concerning roofing issues that require more expensive solutions.
