MI Homesiding & Roofing
East Tennessee storms don’t just damage roofs — they expose what was already wrong. Loose shingles, failed flashing, and weak sealing points that survived normal weather fail fast under wind and heavy rain.
We inspect the full roof after a storm, find every weak point, and repair it correctly. Licensed GC · BBB Accredited · GAF Certified Residential Roofing Contractor · Serving Knoxville since 2004.
As a GAF Certified Residential Roofing Contractor, we’re proud to offer GAF’s System Plus warranty — up to 50 years of material coverage — on qualifying installations. See our GAF Class 4 impact-resistant shingles to find the right fit for your home.
For metal roofing systems, we’re a True Metal Supply Certified Installer for through-fastened panels — factory-trained installation that protects your manufacturer warranty.
What to Do After a Severe Storm
After hail, high winds, fallen debris, or visible damage, a professional inspection is the best way to know what’s actually happening on your roof.
Most storm damage starts at flashing, valleys, and the ridge — areas that are hard to assess safely from the ground or even a ladder. That’s why we document every inspection closely with smart glasses or drone footage, depending on the roof.
If you’re already seeing water inside your home, see our emergency roof repair page for immediate steps.
Wind gets under shingles that were nailed with too few fasteners or at the wrong angle. Rain finds every gap in flashing that was never sealed correctly. Hail bruises shingles and accelerates granule loss — damage that may not show as a leak for months.
Many roofs we inspect after storms were already compromised before the storm hit. The storm revealed the problem, it did not create it. For active leaks after a storm, see our emergency roof repair in Knoxville.
Missing or lifted shingles visible from the ground. Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain. Granules collecting in gutters after a storm. Flashing pulled away from chimneys or vents. Leaks that started immediately after a storm event.
If damage is not visible from the ground, it may still exist at the flashing, ridge, or valleys. A full inspection after every major storm is the only way to know.
We do not limit the inspection to visible damage. East Tennessee storms cause hidden failures that only show up in the next rain.
Shingles — lifted edges, missing fasteners, bruised surfaces from hail impact.
Ridge and hip caps — the first area to blow off in high wind.
Flashing — chimney flashing, kick-out flashing, and valley flashing pulled or bent. See chimney flashing repair and roof flashing repair.
Pipe boots — cracked or displaced by debris impact. See pipe boot replacement.
Decking — soft spots from moisture that entered during the storm.
Gutters and fascia — bent, detached, or clogged from debris.
Storm Damage vs Pre-Existing Problems
A storm rarely creates a problem on a correctly installed roof. It exposes weak points that were already there — loose shingles, caulk-only flashing, missing kick-out flashing, or improperly nailed ridge caps.
If your roof failed in a storm that neighbors survived, the installation is likely the real issue. See bad roof installation repair in Knoxville.
We document both storm damage and pre-existing conditions clearly — which matters for insurance claims.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
We document visible damage with photos and provide accurate material takeoffs. We work alongside your insurance adjuster and explain the scope clearly.
We do not promise claim approval — that is the carrier’s decision. We make sure the documentation is honest, complete, and supports what the inspection actually shows.
For active leaks that cannot wait, see emergency roof repair.
If we find rotted decking, damaged framing, or moisture damage during the repair — we stop. We photograph it, explain what we found, and issue a written Change Order before continuing. We never install new shingles over hidden damage.
After a storm, contractors appear quickly — many doing fast work that fails in the next rain. We answer the phone, show up when others do not, and inspect the full system before touching anything.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Missing or lifted shingles, ceiling stains that appeared after a storm, granules in gutters, and flashing pulled away from chimneys or vents are the most common signs. Many failures are not visible from the ground — a full inspection is the only way to know.
Can storms damage a new roof?
Yes — especially if it was installed with too few fasteners, missing flashing, or caulk-only sealing. A storm reveals installation problems that normal weather did not expose.
Should I call for emergency repair after storm damage?
If water is actively entering your home, yes. See our emergency roof repair page for fast response.
Will insurance cover storm damage?
In many cases yes, depending on the condition of the roof before the storm and your policy terms. We document the damage accurately and work alongside your adjuster.
How quickly should storm damage be repaired?
As soon as possible. Every day of exposure allows water to spread into decking, insulation, and framing — increasing repair costs significantly.
Do you handle wind damage and hail damage separately?
We inspect for both in the same visit. Wind damage typically affects shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. Hail damage shows as bruised shingles and granule loss. See also wind damage roof repair in Knoxville.
