Frederick’s Storm Damage Roofing Repair Experts

Frederick sits in a corridor that sees real storm activity – summer thunderstorms with hail, strong winds, and winter ice events that cause damage that doesn’t show up until spring. If you’ve been through a recent storm and you’re unsure if your roof was damaged, AC Matthews Roofing & Exteriors offers inspections, insurance claim documentation, and roof repairs to restore your home. 

As a local roofing contractor, we’ve handled our fair share of storm-related roof damage, and we understand how stressful the claims process can be. That’s why we prioritize documentation, communication, and expert assistance.

Common Storm Damage We Find on Frederick Roofs

Frederick experiences true four-season weather, with everything from summer thunderstorms and strong wind gusts to winter ice and freeze-thaw cycles. With this mix of weather conditions, there are a few types of storm damage that we commonly see on roofs throughout the area.

Hail leaves circular bruising on shingle tabs where granules have been knocked loose. It's rarely visible from the ground but shortens your roof's remaining life and is one of the most easily documented types of storm damage for insurance purposes.

Wind damage often shows up as lifted shingles, cracked shingle tabs, loose ridge caps, and damaged flashing around vulnerable roof areas. Frederick’s location near the Catoctin Mountain region can also create stronger wind gusts during severe storms, which may cause more roof damage than homeowners expect.

During Frederick’s freeze-thaw cycles, ice can build up along roof edges and force water beneath shingles. That moisture can slowly work its way into the roof decking and attic, often going unnoticed until water stains appear on ceilings or along interior walls.

If your roof, gutters, and siding all took hits during the same storm, we assess the full exterior in a single visit. We handle storm damage, roof repair, gutter replacement, and siding repair.

What to Do After a Storm

Document before you do anything else. Photograph visible damage to your roof, gutters, siding, and yard from the ground. Don’t go on your roof; simply take photos of what you can see safely from the ground.

Schedule an inspection as soon as possible. Insurance companies tie claims to specific weather events. The sooner damage is inspected and documented, the more options you have.

Call your insurance company after you have documentation. Starting the claim process with a professional inspection report puts you in a stronger position than calling without one.

Don’t sign anything until you understand the scope. We’ll walk you through what we find and what the repair involves before signing any paperwork.

Working With Your Insurance Company

We provide a detailed written report with photographs of all roof damage we identify during our inspection so you can submit it directly to your insurer. If the insurance adjuster’s assessment misses damage we’ve documented, we’ll walk through our findings with them directly. Once work is approved, we handle the permitting, tear down, and repairs, providing final documentation when we’re done. 

And we don’t require an assignment of benefits! You stay in control of your claim at all times.
