After the storm: assess, document, repair
New Jersey storms (nor’easters, summer thunderstorms and the remnants of tropical systems) can damage a roof in ways that are not always obvious from the ground. Wind can break the seal on shingles without tearing them off, and a limb that bounced off the roof may have cracked shingles or bent flashing.
If the roof is open or water is coming in, treat it as an emergency. Monarch offers 24/7 emergency roofing service: call (551) 241-0470 and we can discuss temporary protection.
For damage that is not urgent, a storm damage inspection looks at the whole roof: shingles, ridge caps, flashing, vents, skylights, gutters and the roof edge. We photograph what we find and explain which issues are storm-related, which are wear, and what the repair would involve.
Documentation, not promises
Many homeowners want photos for their own records or to share with their insurer. We provide clear documentation of the damage we observe. Whether and how much an insurance policy covers is up to your insurer, so we do not make promises about claims. Keep your own photos and notes as well, including the date of the storm and when you first noticed any damage.
Common types of storm damage
Storm damage ranges from obvious to subtle. The subtle kind can lead to leaks months later.
Wind-lifted shingles
Shingles bent back by wind may lose their seal and crease, even if they lay flat again.
Missing shingles
Exposed underlayment or decking where shingles were torn away.
Limb and debris impact
Cracked shingles, punctures or dented metal from falling branches.
Displaced flashing
Flashing pulled loose at chimneys, walls or valleys, opening a path for water.
Damaged gutters
Gutters bent or pulled away by debris, ice or water volume.
Roof edge damage
Drip edge and edge shingles peeled back where wind catches them.
Repairing storm damage or replacing the roof
Most storm damage is repairable. Sometimes the extent or the roof’s age changes the picture.
When a repair usually makes sense
- Damage limited to one slope or area
- A handful of missing or creased shingles
- Flashing that can be reset or replaced
- Matching shingles still available
When replacement may be discussed
- Damage across multiple slopes
- Brittle shingles that break when repaired
- Decking damaged by impact or water
- Older roof with existing wear
Factors that affect the decision
How widespread the damage is, the age and condition of the roof before the storm, whether matching materials are available, and the condition of the decking.
When further investigation is needed
Impact damage can crack decking under shingles that look intact. Where that is suspected, we explain it and confirm once materials are opened up.

Storm damage FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Look from the ground for missing shingles, debris, bent gutters or shingle pieces in the yard, and check ceilings and the attic for new stains. An inspection confirms what is not visible from below.
Can wind damage shingles without blowing them off?
Yes. Wind can lift a shingle enough to break its seal or crease it. It may lie flat again but no longer be properly sealed.
Do you offer emergency service after storms?
Yes. Monarch offers 24/7 emergency roofing service. Call (551) 241-0470 if your roof is open or leaking.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We can document the damage with photos and explain what we observed. We cannot promise coverage or claim outcomes; those decisions belong to your insurer.
Should I wait for the insurance adjuster before repairs?
Talk to your insurer about their process. Temporary protection to prevent further damage is usually sensible regardless. Keep records and photos.
Can you match my existing shingles?
We try to find a close match. Discontinued colors and weathering can make an exact match difficult, and we will tell you up front.
A tree fell on my roof. What should I do?
Get everyone out of the affected area, stay clear of any downed wires, and call for help. Tree removal and roof repair may involve different trades; we can address the roofing.
Is the storm damage inspection free?
Yes. Inspections and estimates are free.
