Storm and hail damage roof repair in Newport, KY. Here’s how to protect your home and handle insurance.{n}
You walk outside after a windstorm in Newport, KY. Shingles litter the lawn. Bare patches show on the roof. You worry about rain getting inside. You need to know what to do next.{n}
Wind gusts tear through the Ohio River valley and hit Newport hard. Shingles fly off, especially on older homes in areas like Mansion Hill or near I-471. The sealant strip that holds each shingle down breaks down over time. Once one shingle lifts, rain can slide under the next row. That starts rot you cannot see from the ground. After a storm, you might find shingle pieces near the Purple People Bridge or scattered along 10th Street.{n} {n} Fixing a few missing shingles typically costs between $300 and $800. If the storm hit many sections or your roof is past 20 years old, a full replacement may be the smarter move. Most Kentucky homeowner policies cover wind and hail damage. You pay only the deductible. The real cost depends on the extent, but a quick inspection gives you a clear number. Homes from the East Row historic district to the riverfront condos have different needs, but we know what works here.{n} {n} Stay off the roof. Take clear photos from the ground showing the bare spots and any shingle pieces in the yard. Then call a local storm damage expert.

What people in Newport say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
