Safety First After a Storm
Do not climb a wet or steep roof. Document visible damage from the ground with photos and note interior leaks or new stains. Keep tarps and buckets ready if active dripping appears.
Common Connecticut Storm Damage
Nor'easters lift shingle tabs, damage ridge caps, and tear flashing loose at chimneys. Wind-driven branches puncture shingles; hail leaves bruised granule fields that shorten shingle life even without immediate leaks.
Repair vs Replacement Decisions
Localized damage on an otherwise sound roof may be repairable. Widespread lifting, multiple leak points, or a roof near end of life often warrants full replacement with upgraded ice and water details.
Documentation and Next Steps
