Magnum Roofing Service assesses and repairs storm damage across Aberdeen, SD, with insurance-ready documentation and ISA-certified technicians who know what to look for after severe weather.
Granules collecting in guttersA heavy amount of granule buildup after a storm often points to wind or hail impact on the shingle surface.
Visible dents or bruising on shinglesHail impact frequently leaves dented or bruised spots that compromise the shingle's protective barrier even without an obvious hole.
Lifted or missing shinglesHigh wind can lift shingles enough to break their seal or tear them off entirely, both of which expose the roof to further damage.
Damaged or dented flashing and ventsMetal flashing and vent caps are vulnerable to wind and debris impact, often overlooked next to more obvious shingle damage.
New ceiling stains after a stormA stain that appears shortly after severe weather is a strong indicator that the storm compromised the roof's water barrier somewhere.
Debris impact marks or puncturesFallen branches or wind-driven debris can puncture roofing material directly, sometimes in ways not visible from the ground.
A storm damage visit includes a complete inspection of the roof surface, flashing, vents, and gutters, looking specifically for the patterns associated with wind and hail impact. Every finding is photographed and documented in a written report formatted to support an insurance claim, not just a general description. If active leaking is occurring, emergency tarping can be arranged to stop further water intrusion while a permanent repair plan is finalized. The scope also includes an honest recommendation on whether the damage calls for a targeted repair or points toward a larger restoration or replacement need.
A technician gathers details about the storm event and any visible or suspected damage, then schedules an assessment as soon as conditions allow.
The entire roof surface, along with flashing, vents, and gutters, is examined for storm-related damage, not just the areas you've already noticed.
Every area of damage is photographed clearly, building a record that supports an insurance claim rather than relying on a verbal description.
You receive a written report summarizing findings, suitable for submission directly as part of your insurance claim process.
Active leaks are addressed with tarping or other protective measures immediately, regardless of where the claim process stands.
Once scope and pricing are confirmed, repair work is scheduled and carried out by the same crew that performed the original assessment.
The extent of storm damage repair depends on how widespread the impact is across the roof, whether the deck underneath sustained damage, and how many separate systems, shingles, flashing, gutters, were affected. A storm that caused isolated shingle damage in one section results in a much smaller scope than one that compromised flashing in multiple locations or led to water intrusion into the attic. The assessment is what determines this, and the written report you receive lays out exactly what was found so there's no ambiguity about why the recommended scope looks the way it does.
Our StandardsAs soon as it's safe to do so. Prompt inspection matters both for catching damage before it worsens and for supporting an insurance claim, since most policies have windows for reporting storm-related damage.
The written report and photo documentation are formatted to support a claim submission, though insurance companies may also send their own adjuster. Our documentation gives you an independent record of the damage to reference alongside that process.
That's a reasonable thing to have checked. A significant amount of storm damage, particularly hail bruising, isn't visible from the ground, which is exactly why a direct roof inspection after severe weather is worthwhile even without obvious signs.
Yes. If active water intrusion is occurring, emergency tarping can be arranged quickly to prevent further damage, independent of where your insurance claim currently stands.
No. Many storm damage situations are addressed with a targeted repair. The assessment will indicate honestly whether the damage is isolated enough for repair or extensive enough to warrant restoration or replacement.
Emergency stabilization, like tarping, shouldn't wait, but larger repair work is often best scheduled once you have clarity on your claim. Our documentation can be used to support that process either before or alongside an adjuster visit.
Yes, though the assessment will distinguish between storm-related damage and pre-existing wear, since that distinction often matters for how an insurance claim is evaluated.
