Long Island weather can be unpredictable and often harsh — from coastal winds and heavy rain to hail and snowstorms. After a major storm, your roof may look fine from the ground, but even minor damage can lead to serious issues if left undetected. That’s why scheduling a post-storm roof inspection is one of the smartest things a homeowner can do.
At ELED Construction, we provide expert storm damage inspections to help you catch problems early, protect your property, and avoid expensive repairs.

What Can Storms Do to Your Roof?
A strong storm can damage your roof in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Here are some common types of storm-related damage we see across Long Island:
-
Missing or lifted shingles from wind
-
Cracked or dented shingles due to hail
-
Broken or dislodged flashing around chimneys and vents
-
Clogged or detached gutters leading to poor drainage
-
Leaks caused by punctures or gaps
-
Hidden water infiltration into attic spaces or walls
Even if there are no visible leaks yet, moisture may already be seeping into your home’s structure — which can lead to mold, rot, and insulation problems over time.
Why Schedule a Post-Storm Roof Inspection?
1. Identify Damage Early
The faster you identify damage, the easier and less expensive it is to repair. An inspection ensures no hidden issues are left to worsen over time.
2. Prevent Interior Damage
A damaged roof can quickly lead to water intrusion, which affects ceilings, drywall, electrical wiring, and flooring. Prevention is always more affordable than restoration.
3. Protect Your Insurance Coverage
Homeowners insurance often covers storm-related roof damage — but only if you act quickly. Insurers may deny claims for “neglect” if you wait too long. An inspection provides documentation you may need for a claim.
4. Extend the Life of Your Roof
Small repairs after a storm can keep your roof in good shape for years. Ignoring issues shortens its lifespan and speeds up the need for replacement.
What Happens During a Storm Damage Roof Inspection?
At ELED Construction, our trained roofing professionals perform thorough, no-obligation inspections that include:
-
Checking for lifted, missing, or broken shingles
-
Inspecting flashing, vents, and roof edges
-
Examining gutter systems and downspouts
-
Inspecting attic spaces for hidden moisture
-
Identifying impact points from branches or debris
-
Providing a written report with photos and recommendations
We’ll also help you understand whether repairs are necessary, and if the damage qualifies for an insurance claim.
Can I Inspect My Own Roof?
While it’s important to check your property after a storm, climbing onto your roof is dangerous — especially if it’s wet or structurally compromised. Homeowners should:
-
Walk around the house and look for visible damage
-
Check the attic for water spots or drips
-
Take pictures of anything unusual
-
Contact a licensed professional for a full inspection
Safety first. Leave the climbing and diagnostics to professionals with the right training and equipment.
