Storm Damage Roof Repair in Cary, NC

Cary field notes

When a storm moves through western Wake County, the first question is whether your roof is still keeping water out. Roof Revivers has been fixing roofs since 2012, and our Raleigh team inspects storm damage in Cary and nearby Morrisville, Apex and Holly Springs, documents what we find with photos, and sets up temporary protection when it's needed.

Cary homes and storm wear

Cary is the largest town in Wake County after Raleigh, with 174,721 people at the 2020 census, and a small part of it reaches into Chatham County. Most of its homes sit in planned subdivisions and HOA communities such as Preston, many with complex rooflines and mature hardwoods and pines between lots.

With that much tree cover, storm damage in Cary is often limbs on the roof and wind-lifted shingles, not just hail.

Hail, wind and tropical storms in Cary

Hail is not rare here. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) database lists 67 hail reports within 8 km (5 miles) of central Cary from 1955 to 2024, 38 of them 1 inch or larger. The largest was 2.25-inch hail on May 19, 1993, and the most recent in that dataset was April 14, 2023. That's history, not a claim that your street was hit; an inspection tells you what happened to your roof.

Hurricane Fran in September 1996 pushed a 79 mph gust through Raleigh, according to the National Weather Service, and remnants of tropical systems still bring wind-driven rain inland most late summers. Spring and summer thunderstorms add hail and straight-line wind.

Signs of storm damage

• Missing, creased or lifted shingles, especially on ridges and edges
• Dents on gutters, vents, downspouts or the AC unit after hail
• Granules piled at downspouts
• Limbs on the roof, or new stains on ceilings
• Loose flashing around chimneys, skylights and walls

Don't climb onto a wet or damaged roof. Take photos from the ground and call us.

What we do after a storm

1. Inspect and document. We photograph the whole roof, damaged and undamaged areas, so you have a clear record.
2. Protect. When there's an opening, our crews can tarp the roof to prevent more water damage until repairs or your adjuster's visit. See emergency roof repair in Cary.
3. Repair or replace. We give you a written scope. If you file a claim, we can meet your adjuster. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we can offer Owens Corning system coverage that includes 25 years of non-prorated coverage on qualifying replacements.

Flexible financing is available if a storm replacement isn't covered. Ask about financing.

Frequently asked questions

Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?

Many homeowners have the roof inspected first so they know whether there's damage worth reporting. Either order is fine. Your insurer decides what is covered.

Can you tarp my roof right away?

Our crews are on standby after storms to tarp roofs until the estimator or adjuster arrives. Timing depends on demand after a storm.

Can hail damage a roof without leaking?

Yes. Hail can bruise shingles and knock off granules without an immediate leak, which shortens the roof's life. A close inspection is the way to tell.

Was my Cary neighborhood hit by hail?

We check NOAA and National Weather Service storm reports for Cary and inspect your roof. We'll tell you what the data and your roof actually show.
