Storm, Hail & Wind Damage Roof Repair and Insurance Claims
Carolina storms are hard on roofs. When wind, hail, or a fallen tree damages yours, BCI Roofing inspects the damage, documents it thoroughly, and helps you through your insurance claim, then repairs or replaces your roof the right way. More than 40 years protecting Carolina homes through storm season. Your Roof, Our Responsibility.
The answer
The short answer
If a storm has damaged your roof, start with a professional inspection. BCI documents the damage, helps you file and navigate your homeowner’s insurance claim, and completes the repair or replacement to a standard built to hold up next time. Storm damage is handled through your insurance, not a roofing warranty, and we know how to help you through that process. If it is urgent, we offer emergency roof repair.
Types of damage
Types of storm damage we handle
Wind damage.
High winds lift, crease, and tear off shingles and can loosen metal panels and flashing.
Hail damage.
Hail bruises and cracks shingles, knocks off protective granules, and dents metal, often in ways that are hard to see from the ground but shorten your roof’s life.
Fallen trees and limbs.
Impact damage that can puncture the roof and decking.
Wind-driven rain.
Water forced under roofing and flashing during a storm.
Hurricane and tropical storm damage.
The Carolina coast sees serious weather, and we know what it does to roofs.
Why inspect
Why a professional inspection matters
A lot of storm damage is not obvious from the driveway. Hail bruising, lifted shingles, and compromised flashing can be missed by an untrained eye, then turn into leaks months later. We inspect thoroughly, at the roof surface, the flashing, the vents, and the gutters, and document everything with photos so you have a clear record for your insurance claim.
Claim help
How we help with your insurance claim
Thorough inspection.

We provide a detailed report you can submit to your insurer.
We work with your adjuster.
We can meet the adjuster at your home to make sure the damage is fairly assessed.
Quality repair or replacement.

We cannot promise a particular outcome from your insurer, no honest roofer can, but we can make sure the damage is properly documented and that the repair is done right.

That is how we work.
Build back stronger
Build it back stronger: FORTIFIED
When we rebuild a storm-damaged roof, we can build it back stronger than it was. BCI is a FORTIFIED-credentialed contractor, trained to build to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard, a set of construction methods proven to help roofs stand up to severe wind and storms. For coastal Carolina homes especially, a FORTIFIED-built roof can mean better protection and, in some cases, insurance premium savings. Ask us whether it is right for your home.
Local and trusted
A note on storm-chasers
After a big storm, out-of-town crews flood the area, knock on doors, and often disappear before the work is right or the warranty means anything. BCI is different: local, family-owned, here for more than 40 years, and here long after the storm has passed. When you hire us, you get a company you can find again.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover roof storm damage?
Storm, hail, and wind damage is typically covered by homeowner’s insurance, though coverage varies by policy. We inspect and document the damage and help you through the claim process, but the coverage decision is your insurer’s.
Should I get my roof inspected after a storm even if it looks fine?
Yes. A lot of storm damage, especially hail, is not visible from the ground and can lead to leaks later. A professional inspection catches it early, and documents it while it is fresh for any claim.
Will you meet my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We can meet your adjuster at your home to help make sure the storm damage is fairly and fully assessed.
Can you make my new roof more storm-resistant?
Yes. As a FORTIFIED-credentialed contractor, we can build your roof to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard for better resistance to severe weather, which can also help with insurance in some cases.
Do you do emergency repairs after a storm?
Yes. We offer emergency roof repair to help protect your home right away. Call (910) 922-2188.
