Wind Damage & Roof Repair
Elevated Roofing offers the best wind damage roof repair services from Stockton, IL to Dubuque, IA. Get help with proper documentation as soon as possible, and make sure all wind damage is uncovered because your insurance policy won’t cover those repairs later on when new leaks form.
While quality roofs are designed to withstand high winds, sometimes wind damage does happen which warrants minor repairs or a complete replacement. In some cases, wind damage to your roof is obvious, but not always. Having your roof inspected by a licensed, trusted professional is very important for the longevity of your roof, and the safety of everyone underneath it.
High winds can damage a roof in several ways, all requiring repair.
Flashing Damage
Wind can dislodge or damage flashing, which is essential for keeping water out of your building or home.
Debris Impact
Wind can carry debris like branches or trash that impact the roof causing dents or punctures.Gutters & Eaves
Strong winds can also detach or bend gutters and eaves, leading to water damage and drainage issues.Shingle Lift/Tear
Strong gusts can tear away and lift shingles from the roof. This is especially common with older roofs or improperly installed materials. Lifted shingles expose underlying materials, increasing the risk of leaks from rain and snow.Uplift Pressure
High wind gusts create uplift pressure on the roof surface, potentially causing structural damage if the roof is not securely anchored or not properly installed.
“Matt Acevedo coordinated and completed extensive roof repairs from storm damage at our farm. Both my son and I were very pleased with the process and outcome. The Elevated Roofing crews did top-notch, high quality work for a competitive price, and under estimate. Matt communicated well, kept us posted on scheduling and progress, and was available to help us work with the insurance company’s claims adjuster when he arrived.
Of all the companies we called, it was Elevated Roofing that returned our call promptly and followed through in a professional and confidence-building way. Every twist and turn was managed efficiently. We recommend Matt and his knowledgeable crews at Elevated Roofing highly. We won’t hesitate to call him again with future projects as things come up. You should too.”

What Does Wind Damage Look Like In Roofing?
Here are a few surefire signs that your roof suffered wind damage.
Of course, you’ll only know if roof shingles are damaged or underlayment exposed from missing materials if you get a ladder and go up on the roof yourself. Even if you feel confident that you can do this safely, it’s quite possible to miss signs that only an experienced roofing professional is familiar with.
A roof inspection by a licensed roofing professional can provide peace of mind as to whether you need roof repairs from wind damage.
Leaky Roof
You start to experience water leaks following high wind conditions.
Missing Shingles
You notice a number of shingles littering your yard following severe wind gusts.
Damaged Shingles
Roof shingles appear upturned, lifted, or curled, or are flapping during windy conditions.
Exposed Underlayment
Shingles and other roofing materials are missing and underlayment is exposed to the elements.
Can You Wait On Wind Damage Roof Repairs After A Storm Hits?
No. The sooner you repair wind damages, the more likely your roof remains water-tight and long-lasting. If you fail to act quickly, wind damage to your roof eventually spreads to the underlying structure, leading to bigger problems and bigger repair bills.
For example, when your roof is missing shingles, they can’t stop water from penetrating beneath the roof and soaking down into your property’s ceiling and walls. The same is true of cracks of holes made by flying debris that pierces your roof.
You may not see immediate signs of water penetration, which means dampness sitting undetected can lead to mold growth. Spores from mold growth are not healthy to inhale, particularly for those with asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems. Should moisture make its way into your electrical system, it increases the possibility of shortages and even causes a fire.
If you are seeing unusually high energy bills, and you’ve recently experienced a lot of high winds, the culprit could be roof damage. If enough shingles are blown off your roof or not properly adhered, your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain indoor temperatures.
How To Determine Whether You Need Your Roof Repaired Or Replaced
A professional roof inspection conducted by a licensed roofing contractor can properly assess whether your roof has undergone wind damage, as well as determine if there are any other issues affecting your roof and surrounding structures, such as gutters and eaves.
A roof inspection report details exactly the kind of damages to your roof, the kind of roof repairs they require, and how much the roof repairs will cost.
Most roof repairs can be completed in a day, but that depends on the type of roof, the overall quality and age of the roof, and the slope of the roof. In some cases, particularly with roofs that are old and nearing the end of the manufacturer’s stated life expectancy, a complete roof replacement may be necessary.
Does Insurance Cover Roof Repair Service When Wind Damage Strikes?
Most commercial and residential insurance policies include coverage for roof repairs resulting from high wind damage. The exact coverage varies by insurer.
Most insurers require evidence of wind damage to the roof before processing any claims. This is where a roof inspection by a professional roofer is essential. The roof inspection provides all the necessary documentation, complete with pictures of the damage.

Roof Replacement
Great workmanship. House & garage done in 1 day. Everything was cleaned up after.. We highly recommend them.
Roof Replacement
Had my roof, gutters, & skylight replaced—couldn’t be happier! The team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented.
Storm Damage
Storm damage hit us. Elevated arrived next morning & guided us through everything with great communication. His crew finished our house, garage, & small building in 1 day!
The entire process was smooth and pleasant. From the estimate, to the timely coordination for the job with Erika and Simon. JT greeted me this morning and discussed the plan and then the crew arrived and they went to work to replace my aging double roof. Simon provided updates via email with pics to show the damage found. And then another update when repairs to roof deck were completed. JT and his crew had all the work completed and cleaned up before 1PM, which in itself was pretty amazing. Before JT left, we did a final inspection and I must say the results are incredible. I will gladly recommend Elevated and their team! 😀👍
Highly recommend Elevated Roofing! We requested quotes from several companies and the team at Elevated Roofing was the most professional and communicative by far!
They did a great job. Roof looks good and everything was cleaned up by the end of day. Estimate was timely and work completed as agreed. Definitely recommend Elevated Roofing

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois 104.019255, Iowa C147349, and Wisconsin DC-022300173.
You don’t want a fly-by-night contractor that, in many cases, leaves your roof in worse condition than it was or just takes the down payment and runs. We are happy to provide proof of insurance, licensing, and references.
- Does my roof need to be repaired or replaced?
The best way to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement is with a professional inspection. We assess your roof’s condition and provide the most practical solution that fits your budget and long-term needs.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it is often the more cost-effective option rather than making repeated repairs.
For storm-damaged roofs, insurance companies typically require repairs if less than 30% of the roof is affected. If the damage exceeds 30%, they will likely recommend a full replacement to ensure long-term protection.
- How long will my roof last?
The life expectancy of CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofs varies based on the type of shingle:
- Strip Shingles (3-Tab) – Typically last 20-25 years, depending on climate and maintenance. These are the most affordable but have the shortest lifespan.
- Architectural Shingles (Dimensional/Laminate) – Expected to last 25-30 years, with some premium lines lasting up to 40 years. These offer better durability and wind resistance.
- Luxury Shingles (Designer/Premium) – Can last 30-50 years, thanks to their heavyweight construction and superior materials. These provide the highest durability, impact resistance, and curb appeal.
The life expectancy of other types of roofs ranges widely:
- Metal roofs last 40-70 years
- Wood (cedar shake shingles) last 20-40 years
- Slate roofs last 75+ years
Proper installation, ventilation, and routine maintenance can help maximize the lifespan of any roof.
- How can I be sure I’m choosing the right contractor?
Here’s how to make the best choice:
- Get multiple quotes – Aim for at least three estimates from reputable contractors. If a quote is significantly lower, they may be cutting corners. If it’s too high, they could be overcharging.
- Check reputation & reviews – Look for customer testimonials, online reviews, and local references to ensure the company has a solid track record.
- Verify licensing & insurance – A trustworthy contractor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide proof upon request.
- Look for professionalism – A legitimate contractor typically has branded trucks, uniforms, and a well-organized process for handling your project.
- Assess communication & trust – Go with a company that answers your questions clearly, explains your options, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.
A great roofing contractor should offer quality work, transparency, and reliability—not just the lowest price. Do your research and choose wisely!
