About Our Storm Damage Roof Repair Service
Storm damage is rarely obvious from the ground. Santa Ana winds lift shingle tabs and break the seal strip without displacing a single shingle; hail bruises asphalt mats and cracks concrete tile along the headlap; heavy rain finds flashing gaps that never leaked in a normal season. We inspect for all three failure modes, photograph each one with a date stamp, and separate genuine storm damage from pre-existing wear — because that distinction is what determines whether your carrier pays.
Best For
Homes and buildings hit by Santa Ana wind events, hail, or atmospheric-river rain; active interior leaks after a storm; denied or underpaid insurance claims needing re-documentation; property managers with multi-building portfolios.
Our Process
Call and we dispatch for stabilization first — tarp, divert, and protect the interior. Then we complete a full documented inspection with drone imagery, deliver a written photo report and line-item scope you can hand to your adjuster, and schedule the permanent repair at fixed pricing once the claim path is clear.
Warranty
Emergency stabilization holds through the storm season. Permanent storm repairs and replacements carry our written workmanship warranty plus full manufacturer material warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage roof repair in San Diego?
Wind, hail, and impact damage are typically covered perils; gradual wear, age, and deferred maintenance are not. We photograph the cause of loss with dated imagery and write a line-item scope so your adjuster can approve the covered portion.
How fast can you tarp my roof after a storm?
Call (424) 777-1619 and we prioritize active interior leaks, typically arriving the same day anywhere in San Diego County — from Pacific Beach and La Jolla to Poway, Ramona, and Escondido.
How do I know if Santa Ana winds damaged my roof?
Look for shingle tabs that lift by hand, missing ridge caps, granules piled at downspouts, slipped or cracked tile, and debris in valleys. Wind damage often breaks the adhesive seal without visibly displacing shingles, so it needs a close-up inspection to confirm.
What should I do before you arrive?
Move valuables out of the affected room, put containers under active drips, relieve a bulging ceiling with a small puncture into a bucket, and photograph interior damage. Do not climb a wet roof.
Can you help if my insurance claim was denied or underpaid?
Yes. We frequently re-document roofs after a denial with dated drone imagery, moisture readings, and a code-compliant line-item scope, which is often enough for the carrier to reopen and reassess the claim.
Does hail really damage roofs in San Diego County?
It does inland and at elevation — Ramona, Alpine, Julian, and Descanso see hail that bruises asphalt shingle mats and cracks concrete tile. The bruising is frequently invisible from the ground and only shows on close inspection.
Will you meet with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We meet adjusters on site, walk the roof with them, and present our documentation so the covered scope is agreed on before work begins.
Is emergency tarping credited toward the permanent repair?
Yes. Tarping typically runs $500–$1,500 depending on size, pitch, and access, and we credit that cost toward the permanent repair when we complete the work.
