Wind damage roof repair
Start with the condition, then choose the right scope.
Wind can affect more than the shingles that land in the yard. It can lift tabs, crease shingle edges, loosen flashing, pull gutters away from the fascia, and open a path for rain. Some damage is easy to see from the ground. Other damage sits under a lifted edge and only shows up during the next storm. Franco Roofing & Gutters LLC inspects the roof and connected exterior areas after wind events in Wilmington.
A wind damage visit should create a record of the property condition and a plan for the work. Photos, notes, and a clear repair scope help the owner decide what to do next. If insurance is involved, the carrier makes coverage decisions. Franco focuses on the physical damage and the repair needed to restore the roof system.
Direct answer
What should I do after wind damages my roof?
After wind damage, stay off the roof and look from the ground for missing shingles, lifted edges, exposed underlayment, loose metal, or separated gutters. Cover belongings below an active leak, take safe photos, and call for an inspection. A contractor can document the condition before more weather changes it.
What the work can cover
Planned around the property.

Check the roof without climbing on it
Ground-level views can show missing shingles, debris, a shifted gutter, or a section of flashing that no longer sits flat. Interior stains can show where water entered, but the stain may not be directly below the roof opening. Share photos from safe locations and note when the problem appeared.
Franco checks the roof surface, edges, penetrations, and drainage system. Wind may affect several connected components at once. A roof-only repair can leave a loose gutter or damaged fascia in place, so the inspection looks at the full path from roof to ground.
Wind-related signs to report
- Missing, lifted, or creased shingles
- Loose flashing, vents, or metal trim
- Gutters or downspouts pulled out of position
- New ceiling stains after the storm

Build a record that matches the repair
Photos are most useful when they show context. Take a wide view of each roof side, then closer photos from the ground. Include fallen materials, water stains, and the areas where the gutter or fascia has separated. Keep the storm date and any temporary protection notes with the images.
Franco can use the inspection to create a repair scope. The scope should identify the affected material and the work needed to restore it. If the roof has older wear that is not storm-related, the owner should be able to see that difference in the conversation.
A repair scope may cover
- Shingle tabs, flashing, and roof penetrations
- Roof-edge trim, soffit, and fascia
- Gutters, downspouts, and extensions
- Temporary protection and final repairs

Keep the next step practical
Wind damage can feel urgent, especially when rain is expected. Start with safety and water control. Then use the inspection, photos, and scope to choose the right repair path. Do not sign a repair agreement you do not understand or assume that every condition will be covered by a policy.
Call (937) 971-5224 or use the quote page to start. Tell the team where the property is located and what changed after the wind. That first detail helps Franco prepare for the inspection and any related gutter or roof-edge work.

Before the estimate
Wind damage roof repair questions, answered
Can wind damage exist when no shingles are missing?
Yes. Wind can lift or crease shingles, loosen flashing, or separate roof-edge materials without removing a full shingle. A professional inspection can find conditions that are difficult to see from the ground.
Should I tarp my roof after wind damage?
If water is entering, use only safe temporary protection that you can place without climbing onto a damaged roof. Call for help when the roof is unsafe or the leak continues. Share photos with the contractor and carrier.
Will wind damage affect my gutters?
It can. Branches, debris, and shifting roof-edge materials can pull gutters or downspouts out of position. Franco reviews the drainage system with the roof so the repair does not stop at the visible shingle.
Can Franco help with wind damage insurance paperwork?
Franco can provide inspection information and a repair scope for the owner to review and share. The insurance carrier decides coverage, and the owner should follow the carrier’s claim process.
