Storm Damage Shingle Specialists

Hail damage marked with an arrow on asphalt shingles in Central Kentucky

A.L.E Roofing repairs storm-damaged roofs for homeowners in Lexington, Danville, Lancaster, and all of Central Kentucky. After 30 years of working through Kentucky storm seasons, we know exactly what hail and wind do to shingle roofs, and we know how to put a roof back to full strength.

Every storm job starts with a free inspection. We walk the roof, show you photos of what we find, and give you a written report. If the damage is covered by insurance, we document everything your insurance company needs to see. If it is a simple repair, we quote it in writing and fix it. Either way, you get a straight answer about what the storm did to your roof.

What Kentucky Storms Do to Shingle Roofs

Hail bruising

Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles and bruises the mat underneath. The marks can be subtle from the ground, but each one is a weak spot where water gets in over time.

Wind-lifted shingles

High wind breaks the seal that holds shingles down. Some tear off completely, while others lift and reseat, leaving a broken bond you cannot see from the driveway.

Flashing and vent damage

Wind-driven rain and debris work on the metal around chimneys, pipes, and ridge vents. Damaged flashing is one of the most common ways stormwater gets inside.

Hidden damage

Some of the most expensive storm damage shows no symptoms for months. That is why a professional inspection after a major storm matters, even when everything looks fine from the yard.

What to Do After a Storm Hits

Stay Off the Roof

Walking a storm-damaged roof is dangerous and can make the damage worse. Check from the ground and from inside the attic if you can do so safely.

Note What You See

Missing shingles, granules in the gutters and downspouts, dented vents, and new water stains inside are all worth writing down with the date of the storm if you can see them from the ground.

Schedule a Free Inspection

We inspect the roof, show you photos of what we find, and give you a written report, whether the damage turns out to be major or minor.

Repair or Claim

If it is a straightforward repair, we quote it in writing and fix it. If the damage justifies an insurance claim, we document everything and guide you through the process.

Storm Damage Roof Repair Is What Insurance Is For

If the damage justifies a claim, you are in good hands. We prepare estimates in Xactimate, the same software your adjuster uses, meet the adjuster on your roof, and stay your one point of contact from claim to completed roof. Learn more on our insurance claims page.

Frequently Asked Questions about A.L.E. Roofing

Does A.L.E Roofing repair storm-damaged roofs?

Yes. We assess, document, and repair hail and wind damage on shingle roofs across Central Kentucky. Every storm job starts with a free inspection, photos of what we find, and a written report.

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?

From the ground, look for granules collecting in gutters and downspouts, dented vents or gutters, and dark spots on the shingles. Much hail damage is not visible from the ground at all, so the surest way to know is a free inspection after any storm with significant hail.

How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?

Hail around one inch, about the size of a quarter, can bruise most asphalt shingles. Smaller hail can still cause damage on older roofs or with high winds behind it. If hail was large enough to notice, it is worth an inspection.

Should I file an insurance claim for storm damage?

File a claim when the documented damage clearly exceeds your deductible and came from a covered event like hail or wind. Our free inspection gives you the photos and written report you need to make that call, along with our honest recommendation. Learn more on our insurance claims page.

How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?

Sooner is better. Most insurance policies have a time limit for storm claims, often one year from the date of the storm, and small damage grows into bigger repairs when it sits. An inspection right after the storm puts a date and documentation on everything.

Can storm damage be repaired, or does the whole roof need replacing?

It depends on the extent of the damage. Isolated wind damage is often repairable, while widespread hail bruising usually calls for replacement. We show you the photos behind our recommendation and quote both paths in writing when both are realistic options.
