San Jose Roof Repair stops the leak first, then fixes what the storm actually broke. Winter rain storms push water under lifted shingles and behind step flashing, and it wicks along the roof deck until a ceiling stains. Call 6504145505 and we will tarp the roof today, then walk you through the permanent repair in plain language.

Storm damage repair usually starts with the water, not the wind. Winter rain storms push water under lifted shingles and behind step flashing, where it seeps through worn underlayment and wicks along the decking until a ceiling stains.

Mid-century ranch homes from the 1950s-1960s often hide three-tab shingle over tar paper and roofing felt. Spanish Colonial Revival architecture from the early 1900s sits at a low pitch with clay tile, so one cracked tile or a failed mastic joint can leak quietly for weeks.

Contemporary suburban developments built since 2000 usually carry architectural shingle over synthetic underlayment. Hail or wind can bruise the mat without tearing the surface, and you will never see it from the driveway. A roof inspection after a storm finds it.

What you pay for storm damage repair depends on how much sheathing has rotted, whether the damage sits at a valley or a chimney, and whether we are patching a section or pricing a full roof replacement.

Flat sections show up too. We carry modified bitumen, a self-adhered membrane, and TPO, EPDM, or PVC membrane for the low roof over a garage, plus coping and flashing for a parapet wall that catches wind like a sail.

Not every roof is asphalt. We work on slate, clay tile, and concrete tile, plus wood shake and cedar shake, and we match what is already up there. Tile layers sit on battens and counterbattens over a purlin, which is why tile leaks hide so long.

Roof shape changes the work. A mansard or gambrel has two pitches to flash, a low hip roof sheds water slowly, and even a small canopy or awning needs real waterproofing and weatherproofing instead of a smear of roof cement. Skylights and dormers get resealed at the curb.

Attic ventilation matters more than most people think. A blocked soffit vent or a dead attic fan traps heat, cooks the vapor barrier, and shortens shingle life on a rooftop that already bakes all summer.

The truck carries a roofing square, a nail gun on an air compressor line, sealant and adhesive tubes, and a coating for touch-ups. Tools matter less than sequence — checking the deck before quoting is what saves you a second repair.

What's Included

Same-day emergency tarping, so rain stops seeping through the decking and into your insulation while we plan the permanent fix.

A full roof inspection of the field course, ridge cap, and valley to map every bruise, tear, and lifted shingle before we quote.

Replacement shingles matched to your existing asphalt shingle or architectural shingle and laid in staggered courses with ring-shank nails.

New underlayment and ice-and-water shield at the eave, plus a fresh drip edge and step flashing where the roof meets a sidewall.

Chimney flashing and counter-flashing reset and hand-sealed with mastic and roof cement so the masonry joint stops leaking.

Gutter and downspout clearing, so storm debris leaves the roofline instead of wicking back into your fascia and soffit.

Insurance claim assistance with photo documentation, a line-item estimate, and adjuster coordination on your storm claim.

Cleanup we handle ourselves — old felt, tar paper, plywood, nails, and fasteners out to the dumpster, yard raked and magnet-swept.

Our Storm Damage Repair Process

What Happens on a Storm Damage Repair Call

You call 6504145505 and describe what you see, and we schedule a rapid damage inspection, tarping an active leak the same day if the weather is turning.
We set a ladder or scaffold, clip into safety harnesses tied off to a roof anchor, and photograph the damage from the rooftop before anything moves.
On the roof we check the ridge, hip, and valley for lifted shingles, then look for the soft spot that tells us a rafter or the sheathing has rotted.
We lift a shingle or two with a pry bar and probe the substrate for moisture that a caulk or coating would only hide.
You get a line-item roof estimate split into materials, labor, and disposal, so you can weigh a repair against a full roof replacement.
If you file a claim, we hand your adjuster measured photos, the storm date, and the material spec — shingles from GAF or Owens Corning are insurance-approved.
Work starts with a careful tear-off of the damaged section, then new ice-and-water shield at the eave, synthetic underlayment, and replacement decking where plywood or OSB has gone soft.
We finish by sealing boot flashing, apron flashing, and pipe flashing, dropping in a new vent boot or pipe boot, clearing the gutter, and rolling a magnet through the yard for nails.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair

Signs You Need Storm Damage Repair in San Jose

Ceiling or attic stains after a winter rain storm, the first sign water is wicking past your underlayment.
Granules from your asphalt shingle washing into the gutter, which usually means end-of-life wear sped up by intense summer sun.
Lifted or missing shingles along the rake, ridge, and gable verge after a wind storm, leaving the felt exposed.
Curling or cracked shingles in the valley, where debris dams water and pushes it sideways under the courses.
Rust streaks pitting a metal panel, or fasteners backing out of a standing-seam panel or corrugated panel.
Moss or algae creeping along the north slope, which San Jose's low humidity slows but never really stops.
A sagging roofline, a spongy spot underfoot, or daylight through the roof deck — rot in the sheathing, a truss, or a joist rarely stays small.
Ice damming at the eave during a cold snap, when meltwater backs up under the drip edge and into the overhang.

Storm Damage Repair — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storm damage repair cost in San Jose?

Storm damage repair costs depend on how many squares of shingle you lose and whether the decking underneath is still sound. A single-slope patch with replacement shingles and new underlayment runs far less than a full roof replacement, and you get the number in writing first.

How quickly can you tarp a roof after a storm?

Storm damage repair starts with a tarp, and we take active leaks first because water does more overnight damage than wind. Call 6504145505 and tell us where the drip is showing.

Will my insurance cover storm damage repair?

Storm damage repair is often covered when the damage traces to one weather event, and our insurance claim assistance starts with photos the day we tarp. We document the storm date, measure the damaged field course, and give your adjuster a line-item scope so nothing gets left off the claim.

How long does storm damage repair take?

Storm damage repair on one section usually finishes in a day once materials are on site. Wet sheathing or hidden rot can add a second day, and a full roof replacement on a larger home runs two to three days.

Do I need a full roof replacement or just storm damage repair?

Storm damage repair is the right call when the damage is localized and the surrounding shingles still hold their granules. If we find end-of-life wear across several slopes, we will say so and price both options.

When is the best time of year for storm damage repair in San Jose?

Storm damage repair is easiest during the dry season, when there is no rain in the forecast. Winter rain storms are when most leaks show up, so we work through the wet months and tarp anything we cannot finish the same day.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

Wind tore a strip of shingles off our ridge during a January storm and we had water in the hallway by morning. They tarped it that afternoon, photographed everything for our claim, and came back with matching architectural shingle two days later. No mess left behind. — Maria T., Willow Glen

We thought the green on the north slope was just moss. Turned out water had been wicking under the underlayment for a season. Straight answer, no upsell, and the estimate matched the invoice. — Dave R., Almaden Valley

A chimney leak had soaked the sheathing around the flashing. They showed me the rot photos before they quoted, replaced the decking, and resealed the counter-flashing. The gutter was cleared and the yard was clean. — Priya S., Los Gatos Hills
