Fast Action Makes All the Difference — Here’s What to Do First
When a severe storm hits, it can leave your roof—and your peace of mind—in shambles. The minutes and hours after the storm clears are critical. Acting fast helps prevent more damage, protects your family, and keeps your insurance claim on track.
When the storm clears, every second counts. Our Bravo Roofing experts help homeowners act fast to prevent further damage, protect their families, and start the road to repairs with confidence.
Why Acting Quickly After Storm Damage Matters
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. High winds, hail, and debris can weaken your roof in ways that lead to:
- Water intrusion causing ceiling stains and mold
- Sagging or compromised structural elements
- Increased repair costs the longer it’s left unaddressed
Delays can also impact your insurance claim. Many policies require damage to be reported within a set timeframe—sometimes as little as 30 days.
Our team has seen firsthand how quick action saves homeowners from thousands in additional repairs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Protect Your Home After a Storm
Step 1 – Stay Safe and Assess From the Ground
Your safety is the top priority. Avoid climbing onto the roof—it could be slippery, unstable, or hiding structural weaknesses. Instead:
- Walk your property and look for obvious signs of damage like missing shingles, sagging areas, or fallen branches
- Check gutters and downspouts for dents or shingle granules
- Inspect your attic for water stains, drips, or daylight peeking through
If you suspect damage, Bravo Roofing recommends scheduling a professional inspection right away.
Step 2 – Prevent Further Damage With Temporary Measures
If water is entering your home, act quickly:
- Place buckets or tarps indoors under active leak
- Shut off power in areas with visible water intrusion
- Arrange for emergency tarping with experienced professionals using heavy-duty materials
Our crews are trained to secure exposed areas safely and effectively, even in challenging post-storm conditions.
Step 3 – Document All Visible Damage
Thorough documentation strengthens your insurance claim. Our experts suggest:
- Taking wide photos of the entire roof and property
- Capturing close-ups of damaged shingles, gutters, and flashing
- Keeping notes on dates, times, and weather conditions
This level of detail helps adjusters assess your claim more accurately.
Step 4 – Contact a Roofing Expert Immediately
An experienced, certified roofing contractor can provide a complete damage assessment, recommend next steps, and help you avoid unlicensed “storm chasers” offering low-quality repairs.
Bravo Roofing’s specialists are IKO ROOFPRO-certified, ensuring your roof repairs meet the highest standards of quality and durability.
Step 5 – Notify Your Insurance Company
Once you’ve documented the damage and consulted with a roofing professional, contact your insurer. Share clear, factual details about the storm and observed damage. Avoid speculating about costs.
When our team assists homeowners during adjuster visits, we help ensure no damage goes unnoticed.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make After Storm Damage
- Waiting too long to call for an inspection
- Attempting DIY repairs without proper safety equipment
- Failing to document damage fully before starting repairs

Our professionals help homeowners avoid these costly mistakes by providing clear guidance and fast response times.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a storm should I have my roof inspected?
You should arrange a professional roof inspection within 24–48 hours after the storm clears. Early inspections help detect hidden damage—like loosened shingles or leaks—before they worsen and impact your insurance claim.
Will emergency roof tarping be covered by insurance?
Emergency tarping is often covered under most homeowners policies as it prevents further damage. Be sure to keep your receipt and documentation—our experts provide detailed photo reports to support your claim.
Can DIY roof repairs affect my insurance claim?
Yes. DIY fixes can compromise safety and sometimes violate policy requirements. Improper materials or methods may cause insurers to reduce payouts or even deny the claim. A certified pro ensures repairs meet standards and protect your coverage.
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
