WIND DAMAGE REPAIR NEAR YOU
Wind damage can significantly impact homes, leaving them vulnerable to further damage from the elements. In Capital District, NY, where severe weather events like hurricanes, thunderstorms, and ice storms are not uncommon, the risk of wind damage is a reality many homeowners face. At Top Gen Roofing, we understand the stress and disruption that wind damage can cause. That’s why we’re committed to providing prompt, effective wind damage repair services to help restore your home to its pre-loss condition. Whether it’s repairing roofs damaged by high winds or replacing missing shingles, our top priority is to ensure your home’s safety and security.
Areas Affected
Wind damage can affect various parts of your home, including but not limited to:
Roofs: High winds can lift and remove roof shingles, leaving the roof vulnerable to water infiltration and further damages.
Siding: Wind can peel off siding panels, exposing your home to the elements.
Gutters: Strong winds can detach gutters from your home, affecting drainage and potentially leading to water damage.
Windows: Flying debris and fallen tree branches can break windows, leading to water and weather damage inside your home.
How to Spot Wind Damage
Detecting wind damage early is crucial to preventing further damage. Here are some signs to look for:
Missing or Damaged Shingles: Look for spots where shingles are missing, cracked, or have their edges curled up. Wind can also cause shingles to lose their granules, leaving your roof exposed to the elements.
Damaged Siding and Gutters: Inspect your siding for areas that are dented, torn off, or missing. Check if gutters are loose or detached.
Debris and Fallen Trees: Fallen trees, branches, or other debris on your property can indicate wind damage. Even if your home appears unscathed, debris can cause structural damage if not removed promptly.
Water Intrusion: Water stains on ceilings and walls might signal a leak caused by wind damage to the roof or siding.

How can I identify wind damage on my property?
Look for loose shingles, granules that have blown away, unevenness in roof cement, unusual dripping sounds, discoloration on walls and ceilings, and intact seals around windows. Outside your home, check for cracks in structures, loose steps, or ceiling beams, and broken window seals.

Not addressing hail damage can lead to leaking, water damage, mold, structural damage, and even roof collapse over time. It’s important to repair hail damage promptly to avoid these issues.
