5 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Attention After a Storm

Home / 5 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Attention After a Storm

Hook: After a heavy storm hits Monmouth County, homeowners often aren’t sure whether the roof is fine — or hiding serious damage.

Sneak Peek: Here are the top warning signs Keystone Roofing Siding Windows looks for during post-storm inspections.

Story: After a major windstorm last fall, a homeowner in Howell noticed just one loose shingle. Keystone checked the rest, and it turned out half the ridge line had lifted. Storm damage isn’t always obvious from the ground.

1. Missing or Lifted Shingles

Even one missing shingle can lead to leaks during the next rainfall.

2. Granule Loss on Shingles

Storms can strip protective granules, leaving the roof vulnerable to UV and water damage.

3. Damaged Flashing

  • Flashing can bend or detach during high winds
  • Common around chimneys and vents

4. Debris Impact Marks

Hail or branches often create soft spots or punctures not visible from a distance.

5. Interior Ceiling Spots

Water stains indoors are usually the final sign the roof is compromised.
