Storm & Wind Damage · A guide to your next step
After the storm, make your next step count.
Missing roof materials, water inside, or damage from falling debris can involve more than one repair. Start with the current condition of the property and separate immediate protection from the work that comes next.
Start with what you notice
Does any of this sound familiar?
Roof changes visible from the ground
Missing shingles, displaced materials, or debris can be useful observations. A roofing professional should evaluate the condition and repair needs.
Water entry during or after rain
Record which room is affected and when the leak appears. Interior drying and repairs may need coordination with work at the entry point.
Damaged openings or exterior materials
Broken windows, damaged siding, or impact areas can create separate repair needs. Describe each area rather than assuming one contractor covers everything.
Make the next conversation useful
Three things to do before planning the work.
Wait for safe access
Follow local emergency guidance. Document only from places that are safe to access; photographs are not worth entering a hazardous area.
Identify ongoing exposure
Tell the appropriate professional if rain is still entering or the building is open to the weather. Ask about temporary protection and subsequent inspection.
Keep a clear timeline
Save photos, inspection findings, and records of temporary work. Distinguish what you observed after the storm from any known earlier concerns.

Before you reach out
A few common questions.
Does visible roof damage always mean replacement?
That cannot be determined from a description alone. A roofing inspection can help establish the condition and whether repair or replacement should be considered.
Can one request include roof and interior water damage?
Yes. Describe both and indicate whether the water is still coming in. Exsell can review the service needs rather than treating the visible roof issue as the entire scope.
Can I ask for claim help separately?
Yes. Include that you need help with a property damage claim. Claim review and physical repair are different services, and a request does not establish insurance coverage.
FEMA advises prioritizing safe access when returning to a damaged property. FEMA: returning to a fire- or flood-damaged home.
You do not need to diagnose it yourself.
