If water is entering the home, protect the affected area and move belongings away from the water when it is safe to do so. Avoid climbing onto the roof during severe weather. Once conditions are safe, have the roof assessed to determine the source and extent of the problem.

Active leaks, significant storm damage, missing or lifted shingles, fallen branches, exposed roofing materials, and some ice-dam-related leaks may need prompt attention. If you are unsure, an inspection can help determine the appropriate next step.

Sometimes. If the problem is localized and the rest of the roofing system is in reasonable condition, a focused repair may be appropriate. The recommendation depends on the roof’s overall condition and the source of the leak.

Yes. A roof inspection can help identify visible storm-related damage and document the condition of the affected areas so you can understand what needs attention.

Not necessarily. Storm damage does not automatically mean a full replacement. An inspection can help determine whether the damage is isolated, repairable, or part of a larger roofing issue.

Roof access may be unsafe during severe weather. Focus on protecting the interior when it is safe to do so and contact a roofing professional about the next appropriate step. Permanent repairs may need to wait until conditions allow safe work.

Response time depends on current weather, workload, and the nature of the roofing issue. Contact the PQR team with the details of the problem so they can advise on the next available step.
