How the Wind Can Damage Your Roof
While you might expect damage from rain or hail, wind can take an unexpected toll on your home. Even strong spring and summer thunderstorms and weather bursts can cause significant damage to your roof. The age of your roof and shingles will also determine how much damage your house experiences. General wear will make your roof more susceptible to wind damage.
Wind affects various areas of your roof differently, especially if you have a particular kind of layout. Certain designs can increase damage to your shingles by changing the amount of force the wind applies to your roof. Some areas are more likely to experience damage, such as corners, edges and ridge lines.
Wind can cause damage through:
- Curling: Wind can blow under the corner of a shingle and curl it. By curling or ripping shingles off, the wind leaves the roof exposed underneath and allows water to leak through.
- Lifting: High winds coming over a roof can create a suction effect, lifting shingles upwards. Lifting can loosen the nails that hold the shingles down and tear the sealant between layers, leading to leaks.
- Debris: Perhaps more damaging than the wind itself is the debris it can carry. Tree limbs and other types of debris can impact your roof, puncturing or destroying shingles.
- Hail: Storms can be particularly damaging when the wind blows hail toward your roof. Hailstones can break shingles, windows, siding and more when the wind increases their force.
While a few broken shingles may seem minor, destruction from high winds can leave your roof exposed and your home at risk of water damage. Any type of crack or opening can let water seep into your house, leading to the potential for stains and mold growth.
How Do I Know If My Roof Has Wind Damage?
It’s a good idea to check your roof after a major weather event, even if you just give it a quick visual inspection. Look for the following signs of damage:
- Broken or cracked skylights
- Shingle granules in the gutter
- Fallen trees or limbs near your roof
- Missing or split chimney flashing
- Water stains on the ceiling
- Leaks or water damage in the attic
- Broken, cracked, curled or missing shingles
- Blisters, cracks and tears around the edges of the roof
- Siding damage
- Bent, loose or missing gutter sections
Some damage might be visible, but the best way to assess the condition of your roof after a storm is to hire a professional roofing contractor to perform a thorough inspection. Lifting shingles may be difficult to identify from the ground, but a professional will be able to detect them and repair them to keep your home free of leaks.
If you notice any damage to your building or roof, let a roofing professional know immediately. The expert emergency repair team at AmeriPro Roofing can fix your roof and protect your property from further damage.

Most residential roof replacement jobs can be completed in one day. However, this depends on the house size and whether you are paying for a reroof or roof replacement.
How long does a roof replacement last?
An asphalt shingle roof replacement lasts 15 to 20 years. However, this depends on the quality of the job and materials and how well the roof is maintained. Some roof replacements last longer than 20 years.
How much does a new roof typically cost?
The cost of a new roof depends on a variety of factors, including the size and pitch of the roof, the materials used, and the labor costs in your area. So the best way to get an accurate estimate is to contact a few local roofers and ask for a quote.

What Our Customers Say
I had a great experience with Ameripro. I was helped by Christopher Dwyer from start to finish…I had the siding of my house done in one day, and it looks wonderful!
Ameripro did a great job replacing our roof and gutters! We worked with Daniel and he explained the entire process, brought lots of color options and coordinated with both the insurance company and the roof/gutter work crews..
“The representative we spoke with was very thorough, patient, and detail-oriented. We must have played 20 questions with him at least twice. Not once did he make us feel like he was ready to get off/be done. In fact, he wouldn’t let us hang up until we were comfortable and had all the answers we needed. We are grateful he was the one on the other end. Five stars.”
