Emergency Tarping & Repairs, Tree Removal Assistance, and Insurance Claim Help
Not every local roofing contractor has the expertise and certification to evaluate and repair roof and siding damage from hail and wind storms. Working with TLC Restoration assures you that you’ve hired a roofing company with the knowledge and experience to correctly and honestly determine your roof’s condition after a severe weather condition and provide the necessary solutions. What’s more, TLC can work directly with you and your insurance company to ensure that you get the proper compensation for your claim.
You May Have Experienced Storm Damage, even if you can’t see it. You can’t get a good look at your roof from the ground; because of this, you may have damage that’s not visible. And hidden damage will get worse over time and can lead to much larger problems down the road.
TLC Roofing Can Help! When Mother Nature unleashes her fury on your home, contact the TLC experts and schedule a FREE storm damage evaluation. If we find damage, we can provide emergency tarping to prevent any further problems while scheduling the repairs.

Signs of Storm Damage on Your Roof
While your roof is designed to withstand the elements, some storms are more intense than others. There are signs to look for when you believe there may have been damage to your roof. Please be safe when inspecting your roof—possibly view from a window inside the house or use binoculars from the ground. If in doubt, call a professional roofing contractor. Owens Corning Roofing has a network of Preferred Contractors and TLC Restoration just happens to a Platinum Preferred Contractor in your area.
01
Wind Damage
Significant wind can cause shingles to blow off the roof deck. Missing shingles can lead to leaks and other interior damage. Other wind damage may not be easy to see, especially if the adhesive seal that provides a water-shedding surface is broken. Always be safe when checking for roof damage. Call a professional roofing contractor for assistance.
All manufacturers publish a wind warranty on their shingles; it is important to compare the wind coverage when making your shingle selection on a new roof. If the winds that caused the shingle damage were above the manufacturer’s wind coverage, you’ll need to file an insurance claim. If they were not, contact the shingle manufacturer to file a claim.
Potential signs of wind damage:
- Missing shingles.
- Thin horizontal lines where granules have been worn off about 1-2 inches beneath the shingle above; this could indicate that the shingle seal was broken and the shingle was flapping in the wind rubbing against the shingle above it. To be effective against the elements, shingles must be sealed to each other as one water tight roof deck.
02
Hail Damage
Usually hail is not something that you can miss—it is typically a widespread weather event in a neighborhood and not isolated to just one house on the block. Hail can bruise a shingle causing an indentation that may be hard to see but that can crack the shingle allowing water to infiltrate over time. You may need the assistance of a professional roofing contractor to determine the scope of the damage. If you have hail damage, you will need to file an insurance claim.

If your hail event was significant in terms of widespread damage, you will have roofing contractors who specialize in “storms” knocking on your door within days of the event. As always, you should use your best judgment when selecting a contractor. Owens Corning™ Roofing has a network of Preferred Contractors. TLC Restoration is a Platinum Preferred Contractor in your area.
Potential signs of hail damage:
- Other collateral hail damage around the house; dents on cars or other items on your house or in your yard.
- A distinct pattern of small round-shaped divots on the edges of the shingles.
- Indentations in the shingle where granules are missing.
- A large pile of granules at the end of your downspout; a small amount is normal, especially on new shingles.

Falling Debris
During some storms tree branches or other failing debris can land on your roof. Some items are small and won’t cause an issue—other items are so large that you will naturally be concerned about damage. Use your best judgment. You may need to have a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof for damage. TLC is the Owens Corning™ Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor in your area. If you have damage from debris on your roof, you will need to file an insurance claim.
Potential signs of debris damage:
- Visual identification of debris on the roof deck
