Wind damage can affect different portions of a roofing system depending on the intensity of the storm, wind direction, roof design, roofing materials, and other property-specific conditions.
A professional inspection can help determine whether visible conditions require emergency protection, targeted repair, or more extensive restoration.
Wind Damage Roof Inspection
Accessible roofing materials and components can be evaluated for visible signs of wind-related damage.

Emergency Roof Repair

Missing Shingles
Strong winds can remove individual shingles or larger sections of roofing material.
Lifted or Displaced Shingles
Wind can lift or displace roofing materials, potentially exposing portions of the roofing system.

Flashing around roof transitions and other areas can be affected by strong winds.
Damaged Roof Vents
Exposed roof components such as vents can sustain damage during severe wind events.
Tree and Branch Damage
High winds can break or uproot trees and branches that may strike roofing and other portions of a home.
Wind-Driven Rain
Damaged or exposed roofing can allow water to enter during subsequent rainfall.

80–105 MPH Wind Gusts

Wind Damage Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?
Wind damage does not automatically mean that an entire roof needs to be replaced. The appropriate solution depends on the actual condition of the roofing system and the extent of the damage.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
When damage is limited and the existing roofing system remains suitable for repair, targeted repairs may be appropriate.
Wind Damage Roof Replacement
Extensive damage or a roofing system that is otherwise unsuitable for continued service may warrant replacement.
Wind and Hail Damage Can Occur During the Same Storm
Severe thunderstorms can produce multiple hazards during the same event. Wind damage and hail damage may occur together, along with heavy rainfall or tornado activity.
If your Tinley Park property experienced both high winds and hail, a broader storm damage inspection may be appropriate.

Wind Damage to Siding, Gutters, Soffit and Fascia
Wind damage can extend beyond the roof. Other exterior components should also be evaluated when a property experiences significant severe weather.
Siding
Strong winds and wind-driven debris can affect exterior siding.
Gutters and Downspouts
Wind, branches, and other storm conditions can damage or displace exterior drainage components.
Soffit and Fascia
Roof-edge components can be affected when strong winds impact a home.
Tree and Branch Damage
Fallen or broken trees and branches can damage roofing and multiple exterior portions of a property.
Emergency Roof Repair After Wind Damage
Some wind-damaged roofs require immediate attention, particularly when roofing materials have been removed, an active leak is present, or portions of the property have been left exposed.
If your Tinley Park property has an urgent roofing problem following severe weather, prompt professional evaluation may be appropriate.
Wind Damage Documentation and Insurance Claims
Homeowners may choose to contact their insurance carrier after discovering storm-related property damage. Photographs and other documentation can be useful when discussing the condition of the property with the carrier.
AB Roofing & Storm Restoration Services can assist homeowners by documenting visible roofing and exterior conditions and explaining the repair or restoration work that may be necessary.
Insurance coverage and claim decisions are determined by the homeowner’s insurance policy and carrier. Our role is to document the physical condition of the property and explain the roofing or restoration work that may be required.
A reported wind speed or storm event does not by itself establish insurance coverage or prove damage to an individual property.
Wind Damage as Part of a Larger Storm Event
Wind damage can occur alongside hail, heavy rainfall, tornadoes, and other severe-weather hazards. Evaluating the property as a whole can help identify visible conditions affecting both the roof and exterior.

Wind Damage Roof Repair FAQs
How can I tell if wind damaged my roof?
Missing or displaced shingles, damaged flashing, exposed roofing, damaged vents, or tree and branch impacts can be reasons to arrange a professional inspection.
Does wind damage always require a new roof?
No. Some wind damage may be repairable while more extensive damage may warrant replacement. The appropriate solution depends on the condition of the roofing system.
Can high winds cause a roof leak?
Yes. Missing, lifted, or damaged roofing materials and components can create conditions that allow water to enter during rainfall.
Can trees cause wind damage to a roof?
Yes. Strong winds can break or uproot trees and branches that may strike roofing and other portions of a property.
Should I inspect my roof after severe winds?
If your property experienced significant wind, a professional inspection can help evaluate accessible roofing and exterior components for visible storm-related conditions.
Can wind damage and hail damage happen together?
Yes. Severe thunderstorms can produce damaging winds, hail, heavy rainfall, and tornadoes during the same event.
Does a reported high wind speed mean my roof was damaged?
No. A weather report provides information about the storm but does not establish damage to an individual property. A professional inspection is needed to evaluate the actual roof condition.
