Carlton County homes face several recurring storm damage patterns. Winter’s heavy snow loads, averaging 63 inches annually, stress roofing structures and create ice dam conditions. Ice dams form when inadequate ventilation allows heat to escape unevenly, causing water backup under shingles.

Summer thunderstorms produce large hail that damages shingles, siding and gutters while creating impact points for water infiltration. High winds lift shingles and tear siding panels loose, compromising weather protection. The June 2024 tornado demonstrated how falling trees remain a significant threat, blocking roads and damaging structures. Our inspections address all these damage types, ensuring comprehensive documentation for insurance claims.

Our Customer Solutions team streamlines the insurance claim process through professional documentation and clear communication. We begin with detailed inspections that capture all storm damage using photography, measurements and written descriptions that meet insurance industry standards. When adjusters visit your property, we’re prepared to highlight damage they might overlook, ensuring accurate claim scope. Our 90% approval rate stems from understanding exactly what insurance companies need to see.

If you’ve been denied in the past, we can provide additional documentation addressing specific concerns, often successfully appealing unfair decisions. Throughout the process, we work to coordinate between you and your insurance company.

First, ensure your family’s safety and avoid attempting roof inspections yourself. From the ground level, look for visible signs like missing shingles, damaged siding or bent gutters. Check for shingle granules in gutters or on the ground near downspouts, indicating hail damage. Inside, examine ceilings and walls for water stains that suggest roof leaks. Document any visible damage with photographs, noting dates and recent weather events.

Then, contact AmeriPro Roofing at (800) 200-8151 for a complimentary professional inspection. We’ll thoroughly assess all damage, provide detailed documentation for insurance purposes, and recommend appropriate repairs to protect your home from further damage.

Response time depends on damage severity and weather conditions. Emergency situations requiring immediate protection receive priority, with temporary measures like professional tarping typically completed within 24-48 hours. This prevents additional water damage while permanent repairs are scheduled. Minor repairs generally take 1-2 days once materials arrive and weather permits. Complete roof replacement requires 1-3 days of active work under favorable weather conditions.

Total project timelines include insurance approval, material ordering and weather-appropriate scheduling. Our established supplier relationships help minimize material delays. We provide realistic timelines and maintain clear communication about any weather-related scheduling adjustments.
