What All Of Us Roofing recommends checking after this storm

• Shingles lifted at the edges or creased by wind — often invisible from the ground
• Broken shingle seal strips that show up as leaks weeks or months later
• Missing or displaced ridge cap shingles
• Debris impact marks from wind-thrown branches
• Granule accumulation in gutters and downspout splash areas

Wind damage is frequently invisible from the ground — lifted shingles and broken seal strips often only show up as leaks weeks later, after the next heavy rain. A professional inspection documents the roof's condition now, while damage is clearly attributable to the storm.
