LA storms crack tiles, peel shingles, and drop branches on roofs. We check the damage, document it, and put the roof right.
Los Angeles does not see much hail, so storm damage here comes from three things: strong wind, wind-driven rain, and falling branches. The Santa Ana winds and the winter storm season lift and crack tiles, peel shingles, and work flashing loose. Wind-driven rain pushes water sideways under materials that shed a straight rain just fine, and the tree-lined streets across the Valley and the Westside mean branches come down on roofs when the wind picks up.
Any of these opens a path for water, and the trouble is that the damage often does not leak until the next real rain. A cracked tile or a lifted shingle can sit unnoticed until a storm finds it, and then the leak shows up inside. That is why checking after a storm, even when the ceiling looks clean, matters. Our page on signs of storm damage covers what to look for.
We handle the aftermath through storm damage repair and roof repair, and because storm damage is often an insurance matter, our insurance claim support documents the cause and extent for your claim.
We check the roof and document what we find. Call (310) 806-5959 or request an estimate.
Look for fallen tile pieces, shingle granules, and debris. Broken material on the ground means broken spots on the roof.
Scan for slipped, cracked, or missing tiles and shingles, and any bent flashing, without climbing up.
Look for fresh ceiling stains, damp spots, or daylight through the deck. The attic often shows damage first.
Take photos from the ground for your records. They help if you file a claim, as our insurance support page explains.
The repair itself is direct: replace the broken tiles or shingles, reseal or replace the flashing the wind worked loose, and repair any decking a falling branch damaged. We clear the debris and check that the valleys and gutters still drain, since a storm often leaves both blocked.
Because sudden storm damage is frequently covered by homeowners insurance, while age and wear are not, documentation matters as much as the repair. We put the cause and extent in writing, which is what a claim turns on, as our pages on filing a roof claim and whether insurance covers leaks cover. Moving early also keeps a broken spot from becoming a bigger leak, as our page on delaying a repair shows, and a full roof inspection confirms nothing was missed.
