Storm Damage Roof Repair in Minnesota - NMC Exteriors
A severe storm can inflict significant damage on your Minnesota home. Strong winds can tear off shingles, hail can dent siding, and falling branches can cause structural issues. When this happens, you need a reliable contractor to assess the damage and restore your home. NMC Exteriors offers comprehensive storm damage repair services throughout Minnesota. We are here to help you navigate the repair process, from the initial inspection to working with your insurance company.
Navigating Storm Damage in Minnesota
Minnesota weather is unpredictable and often severe. The state sits within a region often called “Hail Alley,” known for frequent and intense hailstorms. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Minnesota has experienced 62 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters since 1980. A striking 38 of these events were classified as severe storms, causing over $20 billion in damages to homes and infrastructure.
The trend is accelerating. In 2022 alone, Minnesota led the nation in hail claims, with one major insurer, State Farm, reporting $799 million in damages. This data highlights a crucial reality for homeowners: preparing for and responding to storm damage is an essential part of owning a home in Florida. You can learn more about how to protect your home by reviewing guidelines from organizations like the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).
Our Storm Damage Repair Services
When a storm hits, quick and decisive action is critical to protect your home from further harm. Our process begins the moment you call, starting with immediate mitigation and leading to a full restoration. We manage every detail to secure your property and streamline your recovery.
- Emergency Tarping and Board-Up: The first step after a storm is to prevent water from entering your home. A compromised roof or broken window can lead to extensive interior water damage and mold growth within 24-48 hours. Our team will quickly secure your home by applying heavy-duty tarps to your roof and boarding up any broken windows or other openings. This is a critical temporary fix that protects your home while a permanent repair plan is developed.
- Comprehensive Damage Assessment: Storm damage is often more than what is visible from the ground. Our trained inspectors conduct a thorough, multi-point inspection of your home’s exterior. We check your roofing, siding, and windows for damage. We document everything with photos and detailed notes, creating a complete record for your insurance claim.
- Insurance Claim Assistance: Navigating the insurance claim process can be complex and confusing. Our team has years of experience working with all major insurance carriers. We will meet with your insurance adjuster on-site, review their assessment, and ensure all storm-related damage is properly documented and accounted for. Our goal is to ensure you receive a fair and complete settlement to cover the cost of all necessary repairs.

Types of Storm Damage We Repair
Minnesota storms bring a variety of threats, each capable of causing unique damage to your home. Our crews are trained to identify and repair all forms of storm-related issues. The table below outlines common types of damage and their tell-tale signs.
Type of Damage | Common Signs | Primary Materials Affected |
Hail | Dents, dings, circular cracks, pockmarks, granule loss on shingles. | Roofing, Siding, Gutters, Windows, Vents |
Wind | Lifted, creased, or missing shingles; loose siding panels; damaged flashing. | Roofing, Siding, Fascia, Soffits, Fencing |
Water | Stains on ceilings/walls, peeling paint, damp spots in attic, musty odors. | Drywall, Insulation, Wood Framing, Flooring |
Debris | Punctures, large holes, structural cracks from falling trees or branches. | Roof Decking, Siding, Windows, Framing |
Hail Damage
Hail is one of the most destructive forces for a home’s exterior. Hailstones as small as a quarter (1-inch diameter) can cause significant hail damage. We look for:
- Roofing: Bruising or circular cracks on asphalt shingles, missing granules that expose the underlying mat, and dents on vents or flashing.
- Siding: Cracks, chips, or holes in vinyl or fiber cement siding. Dents and dings on metal siding.
- Windows: Cracked glass, damaged window screens, and dented window casings.
Wind Damage
High winds can compromise your roof’s integrity, even without visible debris. Wind speeds of just 50-60 mph are enough to lift and crease shingles, breaking the sealant bond that keeps them waterproof. This hidden wind damage makes your roof vulnerable to future leaks. We inspect for:
- Lifted or creased shingles.
- Missing shingles, often found in your yard after a storm.
- Damaged soffit, fascia, and gutters.
- Structural damage from fallen trees or large debris.
Water Damage
Where there is wind and hail damage, water damage often follows. Water intrusion can be slow and silent, causing serious problems before it’s noticed. We identify and address:
- Water stains on ceilings and walls.
- Signs of a leaky roof in the attic or around windows.
- Peeling paint or wallpaper.
- The potential for mold and mildew growth in damp areas.
