Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Hail dents, lifted shingle seals, cracked ridge caps, and bruised shingle mats don't show up from the driveway. Our HAAG-trained inspectors get on the roof and check every slope, every flashing detail, and every penetration point.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Free Storm Inspection
Within 48 hours of the storm, our inspector is on your Essex roof. We check for hail impact, wind-driven shingle lift, cracked ridge caps, and any penetration failures. A full photo report is provided regardless of whether damage is found.
Insurance Claim Filing
We help you file the claim with your insurance carrier using our inspection report, photos, and damage summary. This documentation follows the same standards adjusters use, which means smoother processing.
On-Site Adjuster Visit
Essex Roofing & Maintenance sends an inspector to every adjuster meeting. We make sure nothing gets overlooked and that the scope of work covers all damage, not just the most visible areas. If the estimate comes in low, we supplement.
Repair or Replace
Insurance-approved repairs done by manufacturer-certified crews. Same quality materials and installation standards as any other Essex Roofing & Maintenance job. Your storm-restored roof gets the same warranty as a standard replacement.
