At Mikku and Sons Roofing, we specialize in storm damage roof repair for both residential and commercial properties. With years of experience in the Valley of the Sun, we understand the impact that storms can have on your roof and are here to help restore its strength and integrity. Whether you need repairs for your tile, shingle, flat, foam, or single-ply roof, we’ve got you covered across the entire Phoenix metropolitan area.
Storms in Phoenix bring a variety of challenges for your roof. Here are some of the most common types of storm-related damage:
Monsoon winds can cause severe damage by loosening or tearing off shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials, exposing your roof to water infiltration.
Falling branches and other debris during storms can cause significant damage to your roof, puncturing materials or even causing structural harm.
Hailstorms can leave dents, cracks, or punctures in roofing materials, especially on tile and shingle roofs, leading to leaks and structural issues.
Heavy rain can lead to roof leaks or pooling water on flat roofs, increasing the risk of leaks or water damage inside your home or business.
If your roof has been through a storm, look out for these signs of damage:
Water Leaks or Stains: Water stains on your ceilings or walls signal a roof leak. Even small leaks can lead to mold, wood rot, or other structural issues. Address leaks immediately to prevent long-term damage and costly repairs.
Missing or Loose Shingles/Tiles: High winds often lift or remove shingles and tiles, exposing the underlayment to weather. Even if they appear intact, loosened materials can lead to leaks over time. A professional inspection can determine the extent of the damage.
Granules in Gutters: Finding granules from asphalt shingles in your gutters or around downspouts indicates shingle wear. These granules protect your roof from UV damage, and their loss means your shingles are becoming less effective at shielding your home from water penetration.
Dented or Cracked Roofing Materials: Hailstorms often leave dents or cracks in shingles, tiles, or metal roofs. These impacts compromise your roof’s durability, even if leaks haven’t yet formed. Prompt repairs are essential to maintain your roof’s strength and avoid more significant damage later.

Storm damage includes any harm caused by severe weather, such as missing shingles or tiles from strong winds, dents or cracks from hail, and leaks caused by heavy rain. Debris like tree branches can also cause physical damage to your roof, which is classified as storm-related.
If you notice missing shingles, water leaks, dents from hail, or granules in your gutters, your roof likely has storm damage. A professional inspection can provide a clearer assessment.
If you suspect roof damage, the first step is to arrange a professional inspection. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, as it could be unsafe. A professional can assess the damage, and if repairs are needed, they can provide a detailed estimate and help you start the insurance claim process.
To claim storm damage, document the damage with photos and gather any relevant information (e.g., dates of the storm). Contact your insurance company to report the claim, then arrange a professional roof inspection. We assist by providing the necessary documentation and communicating with your insurer to streamline the process.
