Storm Damage Roof Repair in Durham, NC

Durham field notes

When a storm moves through Durham 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 Durham and nearby Chapel Hill, Morrisville and Research Triangle Park, documents what we find with photos, and sets up temporary protection when it's needed.

Durham homes and storm wear

Durham had 283,506 people at the 2020 census. Its housing ranges from early-1900s homes in older neighborhoods near downtown and Duke's East Campus to newer subdivisions in the south and north of the city.

Hail, wind and tropical storms in Durham

Hail is not rare here. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) database lists 68 hail reports within 8 km (5 miles) of central Durham from 1955 to 2024, 35 of them 1 inch or larger. The largest was 1.75-inch hail on March 14, 2016, and the most recent in that dataset was October 17, 2022. 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 Durham.
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 Durham neighborhood hit by hail?

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