What's Included

Every storm damage roof repair job includes:

Emergency tarping: same-day deployment on active leaks during Nor'easter season Oct-Mar

Wind-uplift damage repair: missing shingle replacement, ridge cap rebuild, decking exposure response

Insurance claim documentation: adjuster meetings, photo evidence, NJ HIC-licensed scope reports

Pre-existing damage segregation: separates storm damage from age-related wear for claim integrity

How It Works

Four steps that take a storm-damaged Jersey Shore roof from active leak to insurance-coordinated repair.

Emergency Call Response

Same-day site visit during Nor'easter and hurricane season (August through March). Emergency tarping deployed when hot-work conditions are safe, so the active leak stops while the claim opens. Storm-damage photos timestamped at first visit.

Damage Assessment

Photographic documentation of wind-uplift, missing shingles, fallen-tree damage, hail divots, and decking exposure, formatted for claim integrity. Pre-existing wear segregated from storm damage so the adjuster sees only the named-event scope.

Insurance Coordination

Adjuster meeting at the property with our written scope in hand. Supplemental claim filed if hidden damage surfaces during repair, which is common after a Sandy-class event when decking rot wasn't visible until tear-off. Direct billing where supported.

Repair Execution and Close-Out

Color-matched shingle replacement on partial sections, or full re-roof if the 25% NJUCC rule triggers. Debris haul including any tree-fall material. Magnetic nail sweep, photo close-out for the adjuster, owner walkthrough before final invoice.

Storm Damage Roof Repair Questions, Answered

Will insurance cover storm damage to roof?

Most NJ homeowner policies cover storm damage from wind, hail, and named tropical events. Coverage requires documentation that the damage came from a named event, not gradual wear. Photographic evidence at time of storm and an adjuster site visit before repair are both critical. Sandy-era policies in Monmouth County now commonly carry separate wind deductibles.

Is it a good idea to have the entire roof fixed after a storm?

Full replacement is the right call when storm damage triggers the 25% rule, when underlayment is exposed across multiple slopes, or when shingles are past their typical lifespan and the storm accelerates the timeline. Partial repair works for localized wind-uplift damage on otherwise sound shingle systems under 10 years old.

What is the 25% rule for roofing?

The 25% rule under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code triggers full code compliance when storm-damage repairs exceed 25% of roof area in 12 months. Insurance carriers often write the supplemental claim to cover the code-compliance scope rather than dispute the threshold.

What is the average cost of a roof replacement in NJ?

Average roof replacement in New Jersey runs $8,500 to $28,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home. Storm-damage replacements often run higher because insurance scope typically funds current-code upgrades: ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, and decking replacement where wet substrate appears.
