What Exactly Is Storm Damage?

Katelyn Lewis • March 15, 2023

Do you think your home may have sustained storm damage recently?


Storm damage can include damage to your roof, siding, windows, doors, and foundation caused by high winds, hail, heavy rain, or flooding. It may also include interior damage, such as water damage to your walls and ceilings, or damage to your furniture and belongings.

Storm Damage Services

Look for signs such as broken windows, damaged siding, missing or loose shingles, or water spots on your ceilings and walls. Tree limbs through your roof or broken skylights also count here.


Most homeowners' insurance policies cover storm damage, but the exact coverage can vary, depending on your specific policy, deductibles, and the type of damage.  Make sure to review your policy to understand what's covered and what's not, and reach out to your insurance provider if you have any questions.


If you think you may have storm damage, it's smart to contact a local, trustworthy home exterior professional to stop by and inspect your home for storm damage, providing you with an estimate for the necessary repairs.
