As anyone who has lived in the Rochester, NY, or Buffalo, NY, areas for any length of time knows, weather plays a big part in our lives. When it comes to our homes, weather can play an even bigger part when roof storm damage occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felgemacher Roofing & Siding provides emergency storm damage roof service<\/a> to initially protect the home with secure tarping followed by roof repair or roof replacement as soon as this work can be done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RepairingHow Storms Damage Roofs<\/h2>\n

Our area of New York is known for its severe winter storms as well as destructive storms at other times of the year. Even the best-built roofs can suffer damage caused by a variety of events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Torrential rains<\/h3>\n

Any \u201cminor\u201d roof leak can quickly become major during a severe rainstorm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lightning strikes<\/h3>\n

No roof can withstand a powerful strike of lightning. This weather event can literally put a hole in the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snow buildups and ice dams<\/h3>\n

Heavy snow and destructive ice dams can wreak havoc with roofing materials and cause breaks in the roofing structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Violent hailstorms<\/h3>\n

Depending on the size of the hail and the duration of the storm, a roof can suffer widespread damage, leading to leaks and even more damage throughout the home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powerful winds<\/h3>\n

Wind can dislodge shingles and blow them away, leaving the roof\u2019s underlayment, decking and truss system<\/a> vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emergency Roof Service<\/h2>\n
