Storm Damage Roof Repair in Boston, MA

Same day or next day for emergency tarping, weather permitting. If you call in the morning after a storm and conditions are safe, we can get tarps up that afternoon. Multi-roof storm events create backlog—if 100 homes got damaged overnight, we triage based on severity. Active leaks pouring into living spaces get priority over missing shingles without immediate water intrusion. Can't work in dangerous conditions—high winds, lightning, ice-covered roofs—but once it's safe we respond. Emergency service means we're available 24/7 for calls, actual tarping happens when weather allows safe roof access.

Probably, if damage came from a covered peril like wind, hail, or tree impact. Insurance policies cover sudden storm damage, not gradual deterioration from age. The adjuster determines coverage after inspecting damage and comparing to your policy terms. Most homeowner policies include wind and hail damage. Flood damage requires separate flood insurance. Filing an insurance claim doesn't guarantee payment—adjusters deny claims they consider wear-and-tear or pre-existing damage. Documentation helps—photos showing damage happened during recent storm, not years of neglect. We've worked hundreds of insurance claims and know how to present legitimate storm damage in ways adjusters accept.

Emergency tarping happens same day to next day. Permanent repair timeline depends on damage extent and material availability. Minor wind damage repair replacing 20-50 shingles takes 1-2 days once materials arrive. Extensive damage requiring deck replacement or large section rebuilds takes 3-7 days. Big storm events create material shortages—everyone needs the same color shingles simultaneously. Weather delays are real—we're not installing in driving rain or on ice-covered roofs. Realistic timeline from storm to completed permanent repair: 1-3 weeks for straightforward jobs, 4-8 weeks after major nor'easter damage when supply chains are stressed and weather is uncooperative.

Depends on your deductible and damage cost. If storm damage repair costs $2,000 and your deductible is $1,500, you're only getting $500 from insurance. Maybe not worth a claim that goes on your record. Damage exceeding deductible by significant margin—file the claim. Also consider hidden damage you can't see—what looks like five missing shingles from the ground might be thirty shingles with wind damage plus underlayment tears once we're up there. Get a roof inspection and damage assessment before deciding. We'll tell you honestly if filing makes sense or if out-of-pocket is smarter. Minor cosmetic hail damage that doesn't affect function? Probably skip the claim. Missing shingles causing leaks? File it.

You've got options. Request detailed denial explanation in writing—insurance companies must state specific policy reasons for denials. Appeal the decision with additional documentation showing damage is storm-related, not pre-existing—date-stamped photos, weather records confirming storm timing, professional assessment from us explaining damage patterns consistent with wind or hail events. Hire a public adjuster who works for you, not the insurance company—they re-inspect, document, and negotiate claims. They take a percentage of any settlement but often get denials overturned. Last resort: lawyer up for bad faith claims if insurance is clearly dodging legitimate coverage. Most denials we see get resolved through better documentation or appeals process before lawyers get involved.
