SLAP (P) Inspecting For Wind Damage
About Lesson

Wind damage on a roof typically just affects asphalt shingles, if strong enough it can damage metal roofing and other materials. Newer dimensional/Architectural roofs with a missing shingle or two are hard to get coverage above the deductible and usually not worth approaching. Multiple spots and large spots are as well as if we can determine if the roof is more than one layer. Most, not all insurance companies, will approve a roof for wind damage when it has multiple layers as it can’t be repaired, even as little as 1 missing shingle. If we find a dimensional roof with a 5″ reveal or 5″ of the shingle showing, this is a discontinued shingle and covered with minimal damage as well. 3-Tab shingles are what we tend to target as they are not easily repaired and at times discontinued. We will give it a shot with even one shingle off on a 3 tab but make sure the homeowner is aware it will be a longshot. The more creases we find the better as they show the wind damaged it as well. See the photos below for wind creases. Just like with hail a magic number for a slope being covered is between 8-10 missing or creased shingles but instead of a test square it will be withing the entire slope. Another bogey for wind coverage is finding storms in that area that produced 60 mph or greater wind.
