Charlotte's Storm Season and Your Roof
Charlotte sits squarely in the path of some of the Southeast's most severe weather. From powerful springtime thunderstorms that roll through the Piedmont to summer hailstorms and the remnants of tropical systems that push inland from the coast, Charlotte homeowners face a wide range of storm threats every year. The region averages several significant hail events annually, and straight-line winds from severe thunderstorms regularly exceed 60 mph — more than enough to strip shingles, crack flashing, and send debris crashing into your roof.
Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Hailstones can bruise shingles and dislodge protective granules without leaving visible holes, but the compromised shingles will deteriorate rapidly and leak within months if not addressed. Wind damage may lift shingle edges or break their seal, creating pathways for water intrusion during the next rainfall. That's why a professional inspection after any significant storm is so important.
Top Roofing has over 10 years of experience assessing and repairing storm-damaged roofs throughout the Charlotte metro area. We provide free storm damage inspections, document all damage with detailed photos for your insurance company, and handle repairs quickly so your home stays protected. If your damage warrants an insurance claim, we'll guide you through every step of the process.
Types of Storm Damage We Repair
Hail Damage
Hail dents shingles, cracks their surface, and knocks off protective granules. Even small hail can cause damage that shortens your roof's lifespan. We identify and document all hail impacts.
Wind Damage
High winds lift, crease, and tear shingles — especially at edges and ridges. We replace wind-damaged shingles and reseal lifted tabs to prevent water infiltration.
Fallen Tree & Debris Damage
Tree branches and flying debris can puncture your roof, crack decking, and cause major structural damage. We handle everything from small puncture repairs to full section replacements.
Emergency Tarping
When your roof is actively exposed to the elements, every hour matters. We provide emergency tarping to seal openings and prevent further water damage to your home's interior.
Flashing & Ridge Cap Repair
Storms can damage or displace flashing and ridge caps, creating easy entry points for water. We inspect these vulnerable areas and repair or replace damaged components.
Insurance Claim Documentation
We provide detailed photo documentation and damage reports that meet insurance company requirements, making your claim process as smooth as possible.

Storm Damage FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage include missing or displaced shingles, dented gutters or downspouts, granules collecting in your gutters, dents on metal vents or flashing, and water stains on interior ceilings. However, much storm damage — especially hail damage — is difficult to spot from the ground. We recommend a free professional inspection after any significant storm.
Should I file an insurance claim for roof storm damage?
If the damage is significant enough to require professional repair, filing a claim is usually worthwhile. Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm damage from hail, wind, and fallen trees. Top Roofing provides free inspections and detailed documentation to support your claim. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether a claim makes sense for your situation.
How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?
As soon as it's safe to do so. Undetected storm damage can worsen quickly — lifted shingles can lead to leaks during the next rainstorm, and hail-bruised shingles deteriorate faster when exposed to Charlotte's intense summer sun. Most insurance policies also have time limits for filing claims, so prompt inspection is important.
Do you provide emergency roof repair services?
Yes. When your roof is actively exposed due to storm damage, we provide emergency tarping and temporary repairs to protect your home from further water damage. We then work with you and your insurance company to schedule a permanent repair or replacement as quickly as possible.
