New Jersey homeowners know that when storms strike, your roof takes the brunt of the impact. Heavy winds, hail, ice, and falling debris can all cause significant roof damage—some of it visible right away, some of it hidden and dangerous.
At Boundless Roofing & Chimney, we specialize in fast, effective, and affordable roof storm damage repair in New Jersey. If you’ve recently experienced bad weather, this guide will help you understand what to look for, what to do next, and how to protect your home from further damage.
1. Types of Storm Damage That Affect Roofs
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Here are some of the most common ways severe weather can compromise your roof:
Wind Damage
Strong gusts can lift shingles, loosen flashing, and even tear sections of your roof completely off. If shingles are missing or curling, your roof’s waterproof barrier is already compromised.
Hail Damage
Hailstones can crack shingles, dent metal components, and dislodge granules that protect your roof from UV rays and moisture. Hail damage often goes unnoticed until leaks appear.
Water Damage
Driving rain can expose weaknesses in flashing, valleys, or roof seams. Even a small leak can lead to mold, rot, or structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Tree and Debris Impact
Falling branches or debris can puncture roofing materials, destroy gutters, and damage chimneys. If the structural decking beneath is affected, your roof’s stability is at risk.
2. How to Spot Roof Storm Damage
After a storm, it’s crucial to check for signs of roof damage—even if there’s no visible leak yet. Here’s what to look for:
-
Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles
-
Debris on the roof or in the gutters
-
Water stains on ceilings or walls inside the home
-
Loose or detached flashing around vents and chimneys
-
Granules from shingles collecting in gutters
-
Sagging rooflines or buckling
-
Damp insulation in the attic
For safety reasons, avoid climbing onto your roof. Instead, use binoculars or call a licensed roofing professional for a full inspection.
3. What to Do After a Storm Hits
If your roof was affected by a storm, time is critical. Follow these steps to minimize damage and protect your home:
Step 1: Document the Damage
Take clear photos of any visible issues. This will be useful if you file a homeowners insurance claim. Document both exterior and interior signs of water damage or structural compromise.
Step 2: Contact a Professional Roofing Company

Step 3: Prevent Further Damage
If the damage is severe, cover affected areas with a tarp or temporary patch until a professional can fully repair the roof. Water intrusion will worsen over time and lead to costly interior repairs.
4. Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Roof Storm Damage?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners insurance policies typically cover storm-related roof damage, including:
-
Wind and hail damage
-
Damage from fallen trees or flying debris
-
Water damage due to storm-created openings
However, coverage may vary depending on your insurer, your policy terms, and how the damage occurred. A professional roof inspection report can support your claim and increase the chance of full coverage.
Boundless Roofing & Chimney works with many New Jersey homeowners to provide documentation and assistance during the insurance process.
