AFTER THE STORM

Storm Damage
Resources & Services

Every storm impacts homes differently. Whether you’re dealing with hail, wind, or fallen debris, understanding what happened is the first step toward making informed decisions about your home.

Common Areas for Storm Damage

Residential-Roof-Icon--resized

Roofing

Your roof often takes the brunt of a storm. Missing shingles, lifted flashing, exposed fasteners, and hail impacts can all compromise its ability to protect your home.

Siding Icon

Siding

Storms can leave cracks, dents, loose panels, or impact marks that may not be obvious at first but can affect both appearance and performance.

Window Icon Grey Expanded

Windows

Hail and flying debris can damage window glass, frames, and seals. Even without shattered glass, broken seals can reduce energy efficiency and allow moisture to develop between panes.

Grey Gutter Icon Shortened

Accessories

Storms can also damage gutters, fascia, soffit, trim, skylights, vents, and other exterior components that help protect your home.

What Should You Do After a Storm?

Check for Safety Concerns

Look for fallen trees, broken glass, exposed electrical components, active leaks, or anything else that could create an immediate risk.

Inspect & Document Damage

Your yard, siding, windows, and gutters often provide the first clues about how severe the storm was. Take photos of any hailstones, fallen debris, and visible damage before beginning cleanup.

Check your roof from the ground for obvious signs of damage, but leave the close-up inspection to a trained professional. Climbing onto a roof can be dangerous, and many types of hail damage aren’t visible from the ground.

Prevent Further Damage

Temporary protection can help limit additional damage while you determine your next steps. If it’s safe to do so, cover broken windows, move belongings away from active leaks, and take reasonable steps to protect your home. If your roof has been compromised, Ardmor offers free emergency tarping to help reduce further damage until permanent repairs can be completed.

Schedule an Inspection

A professional inspection can identify damage that may not be visible from the ground and provide thorough documentation of your home’s condition. Look for a reputable local company with proven experience. If someone knocked on your door after the storm, take time to research the company before scheduling an inspection or signing any paperwork.

Review Your Options

Once the inspection is complete, review the findings and ask questions. A reputable contractor should clearly explain the damage, discuss your repair options, and help you understand whether filing an insurance claim is the right next step based on the inspection findings.

FAQ

Will filing a claim increase my insurance rates?

Every insurance company evaluates claims differently. While filing a storm damage claim does not automatically raise your premium, factors such as your policy, claims history, and insurer may influence future rates. Understanding the extent of the damage before filing a claim can help you make an informed decision.

Does Ardmor charge for storm inspections?

No. Our storm damage inspections are always free, with no obligation. If your roof has been compromised, we also provide free emergency tarping to help reduce the risk of additional water intrusion while you determine your next steps.

Should I file an insurance claim right away?

Not always. While significant storm damage may warrant an insurance claim, minor damage or repairs that fall below your deductible may not. A professional inspection can help you understand the extent of the damage before deciding whether filing a claim makes sense.

What areas do you serve?

Our office locations in the Twin Cities, Rochester, and St. Cloud allow us to respond to storm damage throughout Minnesota and parts of Western Wisconsin. If you have questions about your location, we’re happy to let you know if you’re within our service area.

How do I know if my home has storm damage?

Start by looking for visible signs of damage, such as missing shingles, dented gutters, cracked siding, broken windows, or fallen tree limbs. Because some damage isn’t visible from the ground, a professional inspection is often the best way to understand your home’s condition.

I do not leave a lot of reviews but they deserve it. I have had nothing but grade A customer service from this company. Back in October 2023 I had a terrible hail storm and as a new home owner I had zero clue what to do, how to handle insurance and the process of the claim itself. I got a knock on my door and here was a rep from Ardmor – he was nice and respectful, I then signed with them. They came to my house for a materials meeting (put up with my parents and I discussion), they communicated directly with my insurance, scheduled the whole job and obtained the permits. They let me make payments for my left over balance and all. Katie was a wonderful project manager! I honestly, can’t recommend this company more.

Dodge was exceptional to work with. He spent his time to make sure that everything was properly covered under insurance for both our siding and roof and was very patient, even when we changed our mind on colors multiple times. I would select Ardmor again if I ever need these services in the future. Transformation from a cream house was quite dramatic and we got a lot of compliments from friends, family, and neighbors.

The roofing and siding looks great. They did a wonderful job and were extremely helpful with the insurance company. Through no fault of Ardmor the whole process took nearly 18 months. This was the constant reassignment of adjusters by the insurance. Ardmor kept on them and the only cost to me was my deductible and appoved upgrades. The owner even called me after he saw the front of the house and said if I would get a new storm door he would have his crew install it for free. The reason was it looked kinda shabby (it was old and due to be replaced) so I would have had to hire someone to do the job after the rest was done. In other words they did a wonderful job and went above and beyond what was actually required.

I have an architectural house and the project Ardmor helped with was rather unique. It took some time to get everything handled with insurance but once we got through that, they completed the work faster than expected and the quality was everything I hoped for! Sarah and Raul were very responsive and easy to communicate with! And they got it all to be covered by insurance, which I expected but that’s not always a given with insurance!

I called Ardmor construction after they were recommended for storm repair on roofs by MN Association of Women Contractors & I had a small leak in my roof. They came quickly and were able to repair the same day! I would not hesitate to call them again for repairs/remodeling. Friendly & professional A+

Ardmor saved the day for me! I needed a tarp on my roof before the rain was coming, Katie was so responsive and helpful and they came within 90 minutes of my call. Above and beyond customer service.

Ardmor did our roof and siding after getting hail damage this past Summer. We are so happy with the way our roof and siding (went with different colors) turned out! Ryan was our first contact and from start to finish everything went smoothly! If we had an issue or question it was dealt with on a timely basis. I couldn’t be more happy with this company and their staff! The roofers and siders were awesome and got the job done so fast! Great job Ardmor!! – Big Lake, MN

A tree landed squarely on my house during a windstorm. I was at a loss on how to start or who to contact for repairs. A neighbor had used Ardmor for their roof and came highly recommended. A rep was out to evaluate the damage right away. All during the process someone was in contact the entire time. Very personable, respectable and did excellent work in a timely manner. They took care of everything with my insurance company. I couldn’t be happier with their professionalism and exceptional work. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

I can’t express how impressed I am with their operation. They are a well oiled machine! From beginning to end, they have been nothing but professional. Katie K., specifically, has been an absolute joy to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. The quality of the work has been fantastic as well. I had a friend of mine who is a contractor, come and look at the job they did. He affirmed to me as well that my new roof was very well done. I couldn’t recommend someone more.

I could not be happier with my experience with Ardmor construction. I needed my roof replaced due to hail damage. Every person I talked to was friendly and professional. They worked with the insurance company and made the process simple. They kept me updated on everything, called to let me know anytime they would be stopping by. They did a fantastic job and my new roof looks amazing. Highly recommend.

It can be a daunting task to find a great roofing company that will do a fantastic job and address any issues that might arise. Well, Ardmor is that roofing company. Not only did Ardmor make our roof look beautiful, their communication with us was top notch. They quickly responded to any questions, really listened, and addressed any concerns we had. There is nothing we didn’t like about Ardmor and I will be recommending them to anyone I know that needs a new roof!

My husband and I worked with Brianna who worked tirelessly to get our insurance company to approve our claim. Our insurance company was so difficult, unethical and very tiring. Brianna was confident and stood up for the damages that she identified and knew that our insurance should cover. She did it professionally and with confidence. I would recommend both Ardmor and Brianna if you have any potential damage to your home. We are so excited to finally have the hail damaged roof and gutters repaired. Thank you for all your efforts!!

Great customer service. I found a few things that I wanted done differently after work was completed and they always came back and fixed it. I even found an issue almost a year later when I was cleaning my gutters and they came over immediately and fixed it at no charge. A great company to work with.
