Your Roof Took a Hit. We Know What to Look For.
After a major storm, your roof can hide damage in places you cannot see from the ground. Kaiser provides free inspections, thorough documentation, and experienced guidance through the entire insurance claims process.
Storm Damage Roof Inspections and Replacements
After any significant storm, having your roof professionally inspected is one of the smartest things you can do as a homeowner. Wind and hail damage is not always visible from the ground, and what looks minor on the surface can mean serious problems underneath.
Our inspections are completely free and come with no obligation. When we find minimal damage, we provide a repair estimate and get you taken care of quickly. For more substantial damage, however, we draw on years of experience working directly with insurance adjusters and carriers, and we advocate for you throughout the entire claims process.
Even when there is no storm damage at all, we still document the current condition of your roof so you have a clear baseline on file. That record can prove valuable later if a future claim ever comes into question.
Free, No-Obligation Inspection
We get on your roof, document what we find, and walk you through the results honestly. There is no cost and no pressure to move forward with any work.
Insurance Claims Guidance
Filing a storm damage claim involves tight windows and specific documentation requirements. Because we know what insurers look for, we help make sure you file your claim correctly and on time.
Baseline Documentation
Even when there is no damage, a documented roof inspection creates a record that protects you in future claims. We recommend it annually for any homeowner.
We Know How to Work With Your Insurance Company
Kaiser has helped hundreds of homeowners and business owners successfully navigate storm damage claims with a wide range of insurance carriers. Proper documentation, a correctly identified test square, and timely filing all make a real difference in whether your insurer approves a claim. Because of that, we handle the process alongside you so we miss nothing.
Signs Your Roof Has Storm Damage
Storm damage is not always obvious from the street. Here are the key indicators our inspectors look for on every roof evaluation.
Granule Loss in Gutters
As shingles shed granules from storm impact, those granules wash into the gutters and collect near the downspouts. Large amounts at the base are a ground-level warning sign many homeowners overlook. Often it signals the shingles above have taken real damage, so you should schedule an inspection.
Light or Moisture in Attic
Visible light or signs of moisture inside the attic clearly indicate that a storm has compromised something above. Moreover, small openings from storm damage let water work its way in over time. Catching it early therefore prevents much larger structural and mold problems later.
Wind-Lifted Shingles
High winds can lift or crease shingles, breaking the adhesive seal that holds them down. Even if a shingle appears to settle back into place, the storm has already broken its seal, so it is now more vulnerable to both leaks and future storms. This type of damage needs a professional evaluation.
Bald Spots on Shingles
Granules are the protective top layer of an asphalt shingle. When hail strikes, it can knock them away and leave visible bald patches that expose the fiberglass mat beneath. These spots reliably indicate significant hail damage, so you should have them evaluated without delay.
Hail Impacts on Vents
Metal roof vents dent on impact and are one of the most reliable indicators of a hailstorm. Our inspectors use chalk to highlight and document these marks clearly during every evaluation. Visible dents on soft metals like vents and flashing almost always signal that hail struck the shingles as well.
Exposed Fiberglass Mat
Once hail strips the granules away completely, the fiberglass mat underneath becomes visible. This is a sign of significant impact damage. Exposed fiberglass weakens the shingle, reduces its ability to shed water, and accelerates deterioration. A roof showing this level of damage typically warrants a claim evaluation.

Real Reviews, Real Results
Kaiser did an excellent job with our roofing project. We had storm damage from wind and hail. Dennis was our project manager and went above and beyond in every aspect. He did the most thorough initial evaluation I have seen and worked closely with our insurance company to get full approval after they initially refused to cover the full roof.
Our sales rep was thorough and very detailed in helping us work through the insurance process and complete the job to our specifications. I have dealt with other roofing companies before and none were as easy to work with as Kaiser. They did an outstanding job and communicated clearly throughout.
We had hail damage and Kaiser replaced our roof in a day and a half. The crew was positive, fast, and worked late to get it done. They were excellent workers and we would use them again without hesitation. Really could not have asked for a better experience.
