Skip to content Even though we don’t experience hurricanes or tropical storms, Michigan gets its fair share of severe weather. And the rain, winds, snow, ice, and hail associated with these storms can wreak havoc on your roof. From damaged flashing to missing shingles to active roof leaks, these kinds of problems can leave your home uncomfortable (or even uninhabitable) and in need of roof repairs. But unfortunately, many Michigan-area homeowners don’t know where to turn for these kinds of services. Never fear – the storm-damage repair specialists at Schoenherr Roofing are ready to help!
Storm damage can be a very serious issue that creates a number of problems (including potential structural damage) for your home. That’s why you need to rely on the storm-damage roof repair specialists at Schoenherr Roofing. We’ve been providing your Michigan neighbors with storm damage restoration services for more than 30 years, and we can do the same thing for you. No matter what kind of storm damage repair services you need, from shingle repair to complete roof replacement, we have the skills, knowledge, and experience to get the job done correctly. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.
It is critical that you obtain the storm damage restoration services you need promptly, as many of the problems caused by storms lead to additional damage that may affect other parts of your home, in addition to your roof. Ultimately, this will increase the costs of your repair and may even reduce the chances of your homeowner’s insurance company covering the repair costs.
A few of the most common issues that often accompany storm damage to your roof include:
Our roofing specialists will help you handle all of your roofing needs. Give us a call, and we can walk you through the steps that you can take to either repair or replace it.
Roof leaks can vary from minor to catastrophic, and the repairs you’ll need will vary based on the extent of the damage your home has suffered. Some roof leaks are relatively simple problems that can be repaired in an hour or two, but others may require significant repairs involving the replacement of your shingles, underlayment, and decking.
It is sometimes possible to replace small numbers of shingles that have become detached or damaged during high winds. The scope of the repairs necessary will primarily depend on the extent of the damage, as well as the overall condition of your roof. But whether you need one shingle replaced or 1,000 the professionals at Schoenherr Roofing are here to help.
Your gutters and downspouts can also suffer considerable damage during severe storms. Hail may cause damage to the structures themselves, leaving your gutters or downspouts dented, while high winds may bend these components or even rip them off your home entirely.
Metal flashing is incorporated into most shingle roofs to help prevent leaks from occurring near seams, hips, and other structural elements. But as with gutters and downspouts, flashing can sustain damage during high winds, hail, or rain, which can lead to leaks. So, it is always important to have your flashing repaired anytime it suffers damage.
Because shingles serve as your roof’s first line of defense, they tend to take the brunt of a storm’s impact. But storms may also cause damage that extends beyond your shingles and affects the underlayment and decking. Because damage to your roof deck or underlayment may cause serious problems, prompt repairs are necessary.
Extreme weather may sometimes damage a roof so badly that simple repairs are no longer possible; occasionally, complete roof replacement becomes necessary. While it can obviously be disheartening to learn that you need full roof replacement, our professionals will work with you to develop a replacement plan that suits your tastes and budget.
No matter what kind of storm damage your roof has suffered, the Schoenherr Roofing team implements a simple process designed to help repair your home quickly, efficiently, and affordably. The process unfolds in four key steps:
When you contact Schoenherr Roofing, we’ll work with you to schedule an in-person inspection of your damaged property and a consultation with one of our professional roofers. He or she will examine your roof and analyze the damage that has occurred (and that includes damage that may have also occurred inside your home or attic).
Once our representative has determined the extent of the damage, he or she will provide you with a complete plan for addressing the issues and restoring your roof to its original, pre-loss condition. You’ll also receive an itemized estimate at this point, outlining the costs associated with the project.
Once you’re happy with the plan we’ve developed, we’ll help to schedule a convenient time for the repair work to begin. When the date and time arrives, one of our professional roofing teams will visit your home and get to work. During all phases of the work, our team members will treat your home with respect and conduct themselves professionally.
Once the roofing repairs have been completed, one of our team members will review the work with you, taking time to point out any areas of special concern and answering any questions you may have. And because we always insist upon complete customer satisfaction, we won’t pack up and head to the next job until we know you’re happy with the work.
Did you know that homeowner’s insurance will often pay for some (and occasionally all) roof damage caused by storms? However, that doesn’t mean the process is always easy to navigate. In fact, many homeowners give up and simply pay for the repairs themselves, after becoming frustrated with all of the complicated steps some insurance companies require you to complete.
But that’s not a problem when you work with Schoenherr Roofing! We will be there to help with every step of the process. If you suspect that your roof has become damaged during a storm or natural disaster, you’ll want to do the following:

While it can be intimidating to file a claim with your insurance provider, we have extensive experience helping our customers deal with these issues and obtain fair settlements to help offset the costs of storm damage restoration.
