At Goad Construction, we understand that wind damage can be both unexpected and devastating. That's why we're committed to providing comprehensive wind damage repair services to help you restore your property to its original condition quickly and efficiently.
Protect Your Home After a Severe Wind Storm
When a severe wind storm rolls through your area, the aftermath can leave you wondering about the extent of damage to your property. One of the most vulnerable parts of your home or business during such storms is the roof. High winds can cause significant damage, which may not always be visible at first glance. It's crucial to act quickly to ensure your home remains safe and secure.
Before you rush to file an insurance claim, it's wise to consult with a professional roofing contractor like Goad Construction.
Different types of wind can cause damage to your roof. From hurricanes, tornadoes, straight line winds, and a derecho. Some roofs can withstand extreme winds. While some older roofs can be damaged by wind speeds below 50 miles per hour.

Our team has the expertise to thoroughly inspect your roof for any damage. We can identify issues that might not be visible to the untrained eye, ensuring that all potential problems are addressed.
By consulting with us first, you can explore different repair or replacement options that fit your budget and needs. We aim to provide the most cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.

Wind Damage Repair
Wind Damaged Roofs
Wind can be a formidable force, often leaving behind visible signs of its power, such as fallen trees or scattered debris. However, some of the most insidious damage it causes can be hidden from plain sight, especially on rooftops. Understanding the potential for concealed wind damage is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your property.
Loose Shingles
Wind can loosen shingles without tearing them off entirely. This can occur when the wind catches the edge of a shingle, lifting it slightly.
Creased Shingles
This is a sign of wind damage where strong winds lift and flap shingle tabs until they bend, causing a permanent crease along the top of the tab.
Missing shingles on your roof and in your yard, are all signs of wind damage to your roof.
Missing Tabs
Cracked Shingles
Cracked shingles after a windstorm are a sign of potential damage that can lead to leaks, so you should have them inspected by a professional.
Bald Shingles
After a windstorm, your shingles could lose a significant amount of their protective granular coating. Without this coating, your shingles will work less effectively, and your roof will lose much of its protection.
This occurs when high winds separate the roofing material from the structure, causing issues like billowing, tears, and punctures.
