Storm & Hail Damage

Emergency storm damage repair and full hail damage assessment – we respond fast and work directly with your insurance.

Wichita's Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair Team

When a Wichita hailstorm or 80 mph wind event hits, your roof takes the brunt of it. Hail bruises shingles, knocking off granules and exposing the asphalt beneath to UV degradation. Wind lifts shingle tabs, breaks adhesive seals, and can peel back entire sections. At Wichita Roofing Pros, we have a dedicated storm response team ready to assess damage, provide emergency tarping if needed, and document everything for your insurance claim.

Not all hail damage is visible from the ground. Hailstones as small as 1 inch can bruise shingles without cracking them – the damage shows up as soft, sponge-like areas where granules have been crushed into the asphalt. Over time, those bruised areas lose more granules and become leak points. Our inspectors climb every roof and use hail strike measurement tools to identify both fresh and older damage.

For active leaks after a storm, we provide emergency tarping to prevent interior water damage. Tarping is a temporary measure – we schedule full repair or replacement as quickly as materials allow. We also coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster, providing our damage documentation to support your claim. If the damage exceeds 30% of the roof surface, a full replacement is usually warranted – and we handle the entire insurance process for you.

Free Emergency Roof Inspection

After any major hail or wind event, we inspect your roof at no charge and provide a written damage assessment with photos.

Emergency Tarping & Leak Containment

Insurance Adjuster Coordination

We meet your adjuster on the roof, point out damage on every slope, and provide our documentation to support a full scope – including code upgrades and matching.

Storm Damage Repair Process

From Emergency Response to Full Restoration

Step 1 – Call After a Storm

Contact us as soon as it is safe after a hail or wind event. We will schedule an inspection – often same-day or next-day depending on storm volume.

Step 2 – Inspection & Tarping if Needed

Our inspector evaluates damage. If there is an active leak or exposed deck, we install a watertight tarp at no upfront cost (billed to insurance later).

Step 3 – Documentation & Claim Filing

You receive a photo report and repair/replacement estimate. You decide whether to file an insurance claim. We help with the filing if you choose.

Step 4 – Repair or Replacement Execution

Brands We Trust & Install

Once insurance approves (or if you pay out of pocket), we schedule the work. Emergency tarping is removed and permanent repairs are completed.

How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?

As soon as it is safe. Hail damage is easiest to identify within a few weeks of a storm – granule loss patterns are fresh and bruises are still visible. Waiting months allows UV exposure to oxidize the asphalt, making damage harder to see. More importantly, Kansas insurance policies typically require claims to be filed within one year of the storm date. Early inspection gives you the maximum window to decide on a claim.

What does hail damage look like on asphalt shingles?

01

Fresh hail strikes appear as dark, circular divots where granules have been knocked off. Over time, the exposed asphalt turns gray. When you run your hand over a hail strike, it feels soft – the asphalt has been compressed. On fiberglass mat shingles, large hail can fracture the mat entirely. We use a hail strike measurement card and take macro photos so you can see the damage clearly.

Will insurance cover my roof if only a few shingles are damaged?

02

It depends on your policy's deductible and the extent of damage. Many policies cover only "functional damage" – hail that has cracked or bruised shingles to the point of premature failure. One or two isolated strikes may be below deductible. However, if we find hail damage on multiple slopes (especially the north and west sides, where storms typically approach), the repair cost often exceeds your deductible, making a claim worthwhile.

How long does emergency tarping last?

03

Heavy-duty tarping secured with 1×3 wood battens and roofing nails can remain watertight for 60–90 days – long enough to complete the insurance process and schedule permanent repairs. We do not use lightweight blue tarps or plastic sheeting; our tarps are 8-ounce woven polyethylene with reinforced edges and grommets every 24 inches. After permanent repairs, we remove all tarping and fasteners.

What if my roof is old and already had granule loss before the storm?

Residential Roofing FAQ

Pre-existing wear can complicate insurance claims because adjusters may attribute some granule loss to age rather than hail. We document the difference carefully: fresh hail strikes have sharp edges and bruising, while age-related granule loss is diffuse and even. If your roof was near end-of-life before the storm, insurance may pay only actual cash value (depreciated) rather than replacement cost. We explain your specific situation during the inspection.
