If you live in West Michigan, you know the weather is full of surprises. From heavy snowfall, strong winds, and hail to sudden downpours, our homes face all kinds of challenges. With each new season, your roof endures the brunt of the elements’ tests.

As a homeowner, you want to keep your house in great shape for your family. When a big storm passes through, it is only natural to hope that everything is fine and move on. Maybe you look outside, see that nothing looks out of the ordinary, and continue with your day. Many of us have done the same thing. However, what you cannot see can be what causes you the most trouble over time.

This is where professional storm damage inspections in West Michigan make a real difference. At TYCO Roofing, we are here to help you protect your roof and maintain your peace of mind every year.

What Does Storm Damage Really Look Like?

Not all storm damage is obvious. If a tree branch crashes through your roof, you know to call for help right away. Most of the time, though, storms leave smaller issues that are much harder to spot.

Wind can lift shingles just enough to break their seal. This leaves openings for water to enter days or even weeks later. Hail chips away at the granules on your shingles, robbing your roof of protection from the sun and rain. Water finds its way around the edges of chimneys or gutters, slowly leading to rot, mold, or water spots on your ceilings and walls. These issues might not appear until months after the storm.

Once you see damage inside your home, repairs are almost always more complicated and expensive than if you addressed the issues right after the storm. You might even face higher utility bills, annoying leaks, or complicated insurance claims as a result.

Leave Roof Safety to the Pros

Most people do not look forward to climbing up on the roof, especially after a storm. Walking on your roof can be dangerous, and unless you know what to look for, it is easy to miss serious problems. That is why so many homeowners in West Michigan rely on the team at TYCO Roofing. We handle the hard work, so you can avoid the risks and know your roof is in good hands.

When you book storm damage inspections in West Michigan with TYCO Roofing, here is what you can expect:

  • A complete evaluation, always performed safely
  • Clear, honest advice about what your roof actually needs, whether it’s needs repair or just to monitor the situation
  • Documentation prepared in case you need to make an insurance claim
  • Recommendations tailored for West Michigan weather and building standards

What We Check During Inspections

Our team knows what storm damage looks like. After a storm, these are the signs we look for:

  • Granule loss: We check if hail or rain has stripped the protective layer from your shingles
  • Creased or lifted shingles: We find areas where shingles have come loose or given way to wind
  • Flashing issues: We inspect the seals around chimneys and vents to prevent leaks
  • Gutter problems: We look for gutters that are loose or not channeling water correctly

After every inspection, we walk you through what we find and answer your questions. Our job is to help you make confident choices, never to pressure you into unwanted repairs.

Stay a Step Ahead of the Next Storm

Ignoring storm damage can turn small headaches into big, costly repairs. Getting your roof checked right after a storm means repairs are simpler, less expensive, and your roof is ready for whatever comes next. If you need to file an insurance claim, having an inspection done in a timely way makes the process much smoother.
