Storm Damage Roof Repair
In Decatur, Texas
Roof storm damage is the number one problem facing homeowners. Unfortunately, a storm damaged roof can turn into a much bigger problem if it’s not taken care of immediately. The experienced team at GLC Roofing knows exactly what needs to be done to repair roof storm damage. Our professionals have all the skills and tools necessary to patch up or completely replace a storm damaged roof when bad weather rears its ugly head. Homeowners are often surprised to learn that even a bout of high winds or heavy rains can wreak havoc on a home. Left unfixed, storm damaged roofing can get much worse through deterioration, the spreading of cracks, and routine aging.
GLC Roofing knows how to diagnose roofing problems and take care of all types of damage before it spreads and leads to more complicated problems. A storm damaged roof is not to be ignored—doing so will only mount to higher costs later.
Common Storm Damage that Requires Roof Repairs
HAIL DAMAGE
Storm damage caused by hail is a serious threat to your roof. Hail damage causes small indentations and holes in your roof’s shingles. Once a roof has been damaged by hail, it is not repairable, and there is no such thing as “a little hail damage.”
WIND DAMAGE
Assessing storm damage caused by wind is not always cut and dry. Residential asphalt shingles are designed to self-seal by way of a tar strip adhering to a match point on each shingle. During a windstorm this tar strip can unseal, and the shingle can lift. A lifted shingle alone is not considered damaged.
However, if wind-blown debris attaches to the tar strip during the storm and prevents the shingle from re-sealing, then the shingle is damaged beyond repair. The best way to tell the difference is to get a free roof inspection.
FLYING DEBRIS
Flying debris is typically a tree branch or similar object which falls, impacts your roof, and causes damage. Assuming your roof is fine after a storm simply because it APPEARS to be intact is a mistake. Most storm damage is not visible from the ground or to the untrained eye. Get a roof assessment to be sure!
GLC Roofing will provide a free roof inspection to determine if your roof is still working properly and fully protecting your home.

Inspect for fallen tree limbs, broken fences and damage to landscaping.

Keep an eye out for leaks and water spots inside your home, especially in the attic and on the ceilings of upper rooms.
