How to Look for Roof Damage from Heavy Winds

If you are concerned about possible damage from the latest storm, there are several places you can look for indicators of trouble.

• Look for damage or cracks in your chimney 
• Look around the edge of your roof curling, peeling, or creased shingles 
• Check your yard for torn shingles
• Check your gutter to see if your shingles have experienced severe loss of granules
• Pay closer attention to the windward side of the home for damage  
• Look closely at the perimeter of your roof where wind forces are the strongest 
• If you have tiles or slate, look for detached or missing hip tiles

Many homes suffer roofing damage from winds above 60 to 70 MPH. 

If the last storm involved wind speeds above 70 MPH, it’s almost always a good idea to call for professional roof inspection.  

Roofing Materials & Wind Ratings   
 

Shingles have different classifications for their ability to withstand the uplifting force of winds. If you live in an area with high winds, you should consider installing asphalt roofing with a higher resistance rating. Your local building codes may also require it.

Typical asphalt shingles tend to have lower ratings (60 - 90 MPH range) compared with more premium products like laminate shingles (90 - 150 MPH range) or stone shingles (110 - 130 MPH range).
