Roof Replacement After a Storm: What to Expect

Severe storms can cause significant damage to your roof, leaving homeowners uncertain about the next steps. If your roof has suffered storm damage, a full replacement might be necessary to protect your home from further issues like leaks, mold, or structural deterioration. At Bella Construction, we specialize in storm restoration and insurance claim assistance, making the roof replacement process seamless. Here’s what to expect when replacing your roof after a storm.

Step 1: Assess the Damage

After a storm, the first step is to evaluate the extent of the damage. Look for signs such as: ✅ Missing or broken shingles ✅ Granule loss on asphalt shingles ✅ Water stains on ceilings or walls ✅ Dented metal roofing or flashing ✅ Sagging or soft spots in the roof structure

Some damage might not be visible from the ground, so a professional inspection is essential. Bella Construction offers free roof inspections to determine whether a full replacement is necessary.

Step 2: File an Insurance Claim

If storm damage is confirmed, the next step is filing an insurance claim. Here’s how we help:

• Thorough Documentation: We provide photos, reports, and a professional damage assessment to support your claim.
• Meeting with the Insurance Adjuster: We advocate on your behalf to ensure all damage is accounted for.
• Claim Assistance: We guide you through the process to help maximize your coverage.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Roofing Materials

Once your claim is approved, it’s time to choose the materials for your new roof. Options include: 🔹 Asphalt Shingles – A cost-effective and durable choice, available in various styles and colors. 🔹 Metal Roofing – Long-lasting and highly resistant to extreme weather conditions. 🔹 Slate or Tile Roofing – A premium option with high aesthetic appeal and durability. 🔹 Energy-Efficient Options – Reflective shingles or coatings that improve your home’s efficiency.

Our team helps you select the best material for your home’s needs and budget.
