Michigan’s weather can be unpredictable — heavy winds, hail, and snowstorms can cause serious damage to your roof. If your home has been hit by severe weather, knowing what to do next can save time, money, and stress.
At Motor City Roofing, we help homeowners handle storm damage roof replacements quickly and efficiently.
1. Document the Damage Immediately
As soon as it’s safe, take clear photos and videos of any visible damage to shingles, gutters, siding, and windows. This evidence will help with your insurance claim.
2. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Even if damage isn’t obvious, storms can loosen shingles, crack flashing, or create leaks. Book a free inspection to identify all issues before they worsen.
3. Contact Your Insurance Company
Report the damage promptly. Provide photos, inspection reports, and estimates to start the claims process.
4. Avoid “Storm Chaser” Contractors
Out-of-town roofers often flood areas after storms with low prices and poor workmanship. Choose a local, licensed contractor with proven Michigan experience.

Review your homeowner’s insurance policy to see what’s included — most cover storm-related roof damage, but exclusions can apply.
6. Schedule Your Roof Replacement
Once approved, your contractor will order materials, schedule the job, and restore your home’s protection as quickly as possible.
