Wind damage can be loud, or it can be quiet. Sometimes a storm tears shingles off in plain sight. Other times it only loosens them, and the first real clue is a leak two weeks later.
If you are in Morris, Essex, Passaic, or Bergen counties and you suspect wind damage, CKG Contractors can inspect the roof, secure vulnerable areas, and handle repairs before the next gust turns “minor” into missing sections.
A few quick checks you can do from the ground:
Shingles missing, sliding, or sitting unevenly
If you are tempted to climb up and “just press it back down,” that is a bad trade. Wind damage often affects multiple areas, and walking a compromised roof is not worth it.
We also document everything with photos and measurements so you are not trying to explain roof anatomy to an insurance adjuster on your own.
Professional tarping using contractor grade materials, secured to protect the roof without creating new damage
If wind damage has compromised decking or framing, we assess safety and can install temporary supports when needed.
Repairs depend on the roof type and the pattern of damage, but common wind related fixes include:
High resolution photos, measurements, and written scope notes that capture both obvious damage and the parts that are easy to miss.
We communicate directly with adjusters and can schedule joint inspections when it makes sense.
Yes. Water can back up under shingles at the eaves and enter at seams, nail lines, and flashing edges without obvious shingle loss.
No. Chipping can crack shingles, damage flashing, and bend gutters. Protect the interior and schedule an inspection.
Because meltwater is the trigger. The thaw creates water, the ice ridge blocks drainage, and backed up water finds a path inside.
It can reduce heat loss, but ice dams are often a combination of insulation, ventilation balance, and roof edge details.
Move valuables away from the leak area, catch drips with a container, and take a few photos for documentation.
Yes. Water can back up under shingles at the eaves and enter at seams or nail lines without obvious shingle loss.
Avoid it. Chipping can crack shingles, damage flashing, and bend gutters. If you need immediate help, focus on preventing interior damage and call for an inspection.
Because meltwater is the trigger. When temperatures rise, snow melts, water backs up behind ice, then finds a path inside.
It can help, but it is not the only factor. Ventilation balance and roof edge conditions matter too.
Yes. CKG Contractors maintains 24/7 emergency response and can typically reach your property within hours of your call.
Move valuables away from the leak area, place a container to catch drips, and take a few photos of the interior stain or active leak. That helps with documentation later.
Wind damage does not always announce itself. If something looks off, or if you are noticing new leaks after a storm, get it checked before the next system rolls through.
