Keep people clear of hazards
Avoid the roof, downed lines, unstable branches, damaged electrical areas, and sagging ceilings. Immediate danger belongs with the relevant emergency service. Move belongings away from water only where safe.
Protection first, then the permanent roof decision
If water is entering, the first decision is protection. The permanent repair and any claim follow from the roof condition. You do not need to identify every damaged component before asking for help.
A practical order after the storm
Request a roof assessment
Tell us what changed, where the property is, and whether water is entering. The roofer traces the entry and considers temporary protection alongside permanent repair needs.
Keep existing information
A storm date you remember, photos already taken safely, and receipts for protective measures can help the later conversation. Do not climb onto the roof to collect evidence.
Damage does not have to mean a full roof
A lifted shingle, puncture, damaged vent, or flashing opening can need a localized repair when surrounding material remains sound. Broad damage, brittle covering, and concealed deck deterioration can justify a larger scope. The inspection explains which conditions are present.
The storm damage service page covers the physical work. The Missouri insurance guide keeps policy and payment questions separate.
