Storm damage isn’t always obvious, but hidden structural issues can threaten your entire home. Heavy winds, hail, and falling debris can weaken your roof’s integrity in ways you might not notice until it’s too late.
Bravo Company Roofing helps you spot the warning signs early—and fixes them right the first time with thorough inspections, honest assessments, and high-quality repairs.
Why Structural Roof Damage Is a Serious Threat
Storms compromise more than just shingles. High winds and debris can:
- Weaken rafters, trusses, and other load-bearing components
- Cause rooflines or ceilings to sag under uneven weight
- Lead to water intrusion, mold, and structural collapse if left unchecked
Ignoring these issues can result in costly repairs and even safety hazards for your family.
Visible Signs of Structural Roof Damage Homeowners Can Look For
After a storm, walk your property and check for:
- Sagging rooflines or ceiling areas inside the home
- Cracked, bowed, or splintered rafters visible in the attic
- Misaligned or sticking doors and windows (indicating framing shifts)
- Water stains or mold growth in unusual areas of ceilings or walls
If you notice any of these warning signs, call a professional immediately for a full inspection.
Hidden Signs Only a Professional Inspection Will Reveal
Many structural issues aren’t visible from the ground or even to the untrained eye. Our experts use advanced tools and techniques to detect:
- Weakening of load-bearing beams and joints
- Hidden leaks within roofing layers or walls
- Damage to flashing, trusses, or decking that may compromise the roof’s support system
A detailed inspection ensures all problems are identified and addressed before they worsen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of structural roof damage after a storm?
Common signs include sagging rooflines, uneven or dipping areas along the ridge, and visible cracks or bowing in attic rafters or trusses. Inside the home, watch for doors or windows that suddenly stick or misalign, as these can indicate framing shifts. Water stains, peeling paint, or mold in unusual areas may also point to hidden structural issues. If you notice any of these, schedule a professional inspection with Bravo Company Roofing immediately to prevent further damage.
Can a roof look fine but have structural damage?
Yes. Many forms of structural damage are not visible from the ground or even to the untrained eye. Storm forces can weaken load-bearing elements like trusses, decking, and flashing without obvious exterior signs. Over time, these hidden issues can lead to leaks, compromised support, and even roof failure. Bravo Company Roofing uses advanced tools such as thermal imaging, moisture meters, and drone inspections to uncover problems safely and thoroughly.
How soon should I get my roof inspected after storm damage?
Homeowners should schedule a professional roof inspection within 24 to 72 hours of a severe storm. Acting quickly helps catch damage before it spreads, prevents additional water intrusion, and ensures your insurance claim is filed within policy deadlines. Bravo Company Roofing offers rapid-response inspections and detailed documentation to support your claim and keep your home protected.
What Our Customers Say
Read first hand what our customers think about their roof repair with Bravo Company Roofing:
Communication at first was rocky but I was thoroughly communicated with by the owner and my project manager throughout after a bit.
They also were able to renegotiate with my insurance on my behalf to secure an entire new roof after they had only offered half which I'm grateful for.
Of note; I was able to pick an upgraded shingle type and the color to better withstand the storms in the future which was easier then I had thought would be.
It looks great and I'm happy with having gone with them.
My husband and I were especially impressed by how genuinely committed they were to helping us and ensuring the job was done right. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The workers who came to fix our roof were not only efficient but also left the area spotless, which we deeply appreciated.
Bravo Roofing delivered excellent service, and their attention to detail and customer care made all the difference. If you’re looking for a company that truly values its customers and takes pride in their work, look no further. We highly recommend them!
Additionally we had them install gutters all around the house. Very pleased with the results.
The most important thing I will say is the communication with them was spot on. Robbie & Brian kept me informed during the whole process, even while I was out of town.
Bravo Company Roofing Review
Jonathan from Bravo Company Roofing came to my house to see if I might need a new roof. Using his UAV, he inspected my roof looking for any type of hail or wind damage. After the inspection, he showed me pictures of damage to my roof. The next step was to have my insurance inspector to come out and determine if the damage suggested a replacement was needed. Jonathan kept me updated via phone on all activity and dates to meet my schedule.
My insurance inspector came out with Jonathan and did determine my roof had enough damage that it needed replacement. Jonathan went through all the steps that would follow to replace my roof. The most important was understanding the contract. Jonathan went over all the details and explain fully so both my wife and I understood the process.
On a date of my choosing, we set up a time to schedule the roof replacement. Jonathan went over what I needed to do before the installation crew came out so no damage would occur to my screens or items in the yard. Jonathan was very patient with us as we picked out a color of shingle we wanted on the roof. I made a few upgrades that I paid extra for to have a roof that will last longer.
Due to the weather, we had to postpone our installation only one day. The crew showed up about 7am and started to work. The meticulously put down plastic tarps to catch the debris as they removed the old shingles and underlaying.
After completing the new roof, they went around and cleaned up the area of nails and debris. I was told they may not get everything, so be sure to make my own inspection. I inspected the yard back and front for three days finding bits and pieces that escaped the cleanup. All in all the crew did a fantastic job! I was very pleased to sign over the last check for the job completion. My roof is awesome and makes my house stand out even more now. I can not thank Jonathan enough for his detailed explanation of the whole process and his excellent communication from start to finish.
If you ever need a new roof, I highly recommend Bravo Company Roofing! Not only will you be pleased with the excellent work they do for your replacement roof, but also the professionalism of how they manage their company and quality of service they provide the customer!
Sincerely,
Steven and Frances Daigle
