Storm Damage Roof Repair in the Poconos

A Nor'easter comes through on a Tuesday night. Wednesday morning you notice a shingle in the yard, a dark spot on the ceiling in the bedroom, or just a feeling that something's different up there. The Poconos gets weather that other parts of Pennsylvania don't — sustained wind from the north, heavy wet snow loads, hail in spring and early fall, ice storms that take ridge caps off entire neighborhoods in a single night.

Ten Point Roofing handles storm damage work: the inspection, the written documentation, and the repair. You get a written scope and photos that describe exactly what we found on the roof.

What Storm Damage Looks Like

Wind damage

Strong winds lift shingle tabs, break the adhesive seal on architectural shingles, and sometimes pull entire shingles loose. Wind damage is often found in a predictable pattern — typically on the windward face or at corners and edges where uplift is greatest.

Hail damage

Hail leaves circular impact marks on shingles — you can see the granule loss in the shape of each impact. The granule loss from hail accelerates aging. A roof hit by significant hail may look intact from the driveway but be meaningfully compromised.

Ice dam damage

Ice builds at the eave during freeze-thaw cycles. As the ice grows, it forces melt water back up under the shingles at the lower edge of the roof. Ice dam entry points typically show up as water stains on interior ceilings near the exterior wall.

Nor'easter damage

The combination of heavy, wet snow, sustained wind, and freeze-thaw cycling puts cumulative stress on every vulnerable point on a roof. After a significant Nor'easter, flashing can lift, ridge cap can blow off, and gutters can be pulled away from the fascia by ice weight.

What Ten Point Provides After a Storm

After we inspect, you get a written scope and photos that describe what we found and where. You can use those documents however you need to. We can also be on-site during an adjuster's visit so they're looking at the same roof we saw. What happens between you and your insurer from there is between you and your insurer — our job is the inspection and the repair.

Storm damage is covered by your homeowners policy's dwelling coverage, not your roof's warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship. Storm is weather. Two different things.
