Fast Roof Inspections After Wind Damage
Frederick homeowners regularly deal with strong spring and summer thunderstorms, sudden wind gusts, and heavy rain events that can damage shingles, flashing, and other roofing components. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, wind damage can create hidden problems that lead to leaks and more expensive repairs later.
At AC Matthews Roofing & Exteriors, we provide wind damage roof inspections and repairs throughout Frederick, MD. We’ll inspect your roof, document any storm-related damage, and help you determine how to proceed.
How Wind Damages Your Roof in Frederick
Wind damage isn’t always obvious after a storm. In many cases, shingles lift during strong gusts and then settle back into place, leaving damage underneath that you can’t see from the ground.
Some of the most common types of wind damage we see on homes in Frederick include:
- Missing shingles
- Lifted or creased shingles
- Cracked shingle tabs
- Loose ridge cap shingles
- Damaged flashing
- Bent or detached gutters
- Exposed nail heads or loosened fasteners
Older roofs on Downtown Frederick homes and aging architectural shingle roofs throughout surrounding neighborhoods are often more vulnerable during severe weather events. We also frequently inspect newer roofs where improper installation or fastening patterns allowed shingles to loosen during high winds.
Wind Damage and Your Insurance Claim
Wind damage is usually covered under standard homeowner insurance policies in Maryland. The key is to properly document the damage and link it to the recent storm.
We help Frederick homeowners by:
- Performing detailed roof inspections
- Taking photos of storm-related damage
- Providing written damage assessments
- Meeting with insurance adjusters on-site
- Providing follow-up documentation if your claim is denied
We’ve worked with homeowners throughout Frederick after wind-related roof damage and helped them navigate the roofing claims process.
What to Do After a High-Wind Event in Frederick

From the ground, look for missing shingles, damaged gutters, fallen tree limbs, or other visible signs of storm damage around your home. -
Call us for an inspection:
A professional inspection can help catch hidden roof damage before it leads to a leak or more expensive repairs. It also provides you with the necessary documentation for your claim. -
Contact your insurer:
