Wind Damaged My Home — What Do I Do?

High winds lift shingles, peel siding, and drive rain into gaps — so wind damage usually comes with water damage. Secure the openings first.

Common Questions

Wind Damaged My Home

How much wind does it take to damage a roof?

Shingles can start lifting around 45–55 mph, and gusts in a severe storm easily exceed that. Even partial lifting breaks the seal and lets water under the shingles.

Is wind-driven rain damage covered?

Typically yes when wind creates an opening that lets rain in. We document the wind damage and the resulting water damage together for the claim.
