Storm Damage Roof Repair
AM Exteriors is an owner-operated roofing contractor based in Brownsville, Wisconsin, and storm damage repair is a large part of what we do. Every storm call starts the same way: a free slope-by-slope inspection, dated photos of everything we find, and a written report you can hand to your insurance carrier. From there we tell you honestly whether you're looking at a targeted repair, a partial slope, or a full replacement — and what each one realistically costs.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
Wisconsin straight-line wind events lift the leading edge of poorly-nailed shingles, blow off ridge caps, and tear flashing loose at chimneys and walls. We handle wind damage roof repair across Southeast Wisconsin — from a few replacement shingles after a thunderstorm to full wind damage roof replacement when the field has been compromised. Every wind damage call gets a slope-by-slope inspection and a written report you can use with your insurance carrier.
Hail Damage Roof Inspections
Hail damage roof repair starts with proper documentation. By the time you can see granule loss from the ground, the shingle mat below has often been bruised — that's the kind of damage adjusters look for. We document hail strikes on every slope, photograph collateral indicators (gutter dents, AC fin damage, soft-metal tells on vents and flashing), and supplement the claim scope for code items the first inspection often misses. When repair isn't enough, we do full hail damage roof replacement.
Emergency Roof Repair & Active Leak Response
If you have an active leak, the first job is stopping the water. We provide emergency roof repair and active leak response across our Wisconsin service area — documenting every damaged area with dated photos for the insurance file and scheduling a permanent repair or roof replacement as soon as the weather and the claim allow.
When Storm Damage Requires Roof Replacement
When wind, hail, or tree-impact damage is severe enough that repair no longer makes sense, we handle full storm damage roof replacement: tear off to clean decking, replace any rotted sheathing, install ice & water shield to code-plus, synthetic underlayment, full new flashing kit, and architectural shingles or a premium roof system. Owner on site for tear-off and dry-in.
What Homeowners Should Do Before Filing an Insurance Claim
Before you call your carrier, get an independent set of eyes on the roof. Note the date of the storm, take your own photos of anything visible from the ground, and hold on to receipts for any temporary repairs. Then have the roof inspected so you know whether the damage is genuinely worth a claim — not every storm is. If it is, we walk the roof with your adjuster, document everything, and supplement the scope correctly so your out-of-pocket should be your deductible, period. We do not waive deductibles; that's insurance fraud in Wisconsin and we won't do it.
Roof Damage We Look For After a Storm
Granule loss and bruised shingle mat from hail. Lifted, creased, or missing shingles from wind. Damaged ridge caps, vent boots, and pipe collars. Dented gutters, downspouts, and soft-metal flashing. Tree-impact punctures in decking. Hail damage on AC condenser fins and window screens (collateral indicators adjusters need). We document all of it before recommending repair vs replacement.
Storm Damage Service Areas
We're based in Brownsville, Wisconsin, and serve Dodge, Fond du Lac, Washington, Ozaukee, and Waukesha Counties. Dodge County is our home market — Beaver Dam, Mayville, Watertown, Horicon, Juneau, Waupun, Lomira, Hustisford, and Brownsville — and after a major wind or hail event we prioritize those calls and roll quickly for emergency leak repair. Wisconsin generally gives you about a year to file a claim, but interior water damage that happens because you waited is on you, not the carrier — call us early.
