Storm and wind damage repair in Coeur d'Alene usually comes after a summer thunderstorm or one of the strong fall wind events that roll through the Inland Northwest. Wind gets under the lower edge of a shingle, breaks the seal strip and folds the tab back. Sometimes the shingle stays, just creased. Sometimes it ends up in the neighbor's yard.
Creased shingles are easy to miss from the ground. They lose their seal and the next wind rips them off. We walk the roof and lift test tabs on each slope to see how many have let go. We also check ridge caps, drip edge, loose flashing and any damage from falling limbs, which is common in neighborhoods with tall pines like Cherry Hill and around Canfield Mountain.
Fallen trees are a separate job. We make the roof safe and dry first with emergency roof tarping, then rebuild the framing and deck once the tree is off.
For shingle repairs we match the product as closely as possible and hand-seal replacement tabs so they hold before summer heat bonds them. We take dated photos of all damage before and after. Those photos help if you decide to file a claim, and we are happy to meet an adjuster on the roof. We do not run the claim for you, and we cannot say what a policy will pay.
