The damage we document every season

Real inspection photos from South Mississippi roofs — this is what we look for and what your insurer needs to see.

  • Hail damage on a shingle roof documented during a Southeast Roofing inspection in Purvis, Mississippi.

    Hail damage

    Bruised shingles and dented metal that may not leak for months — but shorten the roof's life and are time-sensitive for claims.

  • Wind damage on a shingle roof documented during a Southeast Roofing inspection in Columbia, Mississippi.

    Wind damage

    Creased, lifted, and missing shingles from straight-line winds and tropical systems — the region's most common storm claim.

  • Missing shingles from wind damage documented during a Southeast Roofing inspection in Petal, Mississippi.

    Missing shingles

    Open spots that let the next rain straight through to the decking. Small to see, urgent to fix.

Our approach

Our storm response, start to finish

  • Rapid inspection & documentation

    We assess and photograph every impact point — roof level, not from the driveway.

  • Emergency protection

    Active openings get professionally tarped so the damage stops growing while the process runs.

  • Insurance claim support

    Our documentation goes to your insurer, and we can meet the adjuster on your roof.

  • Full restoration

    Repair or replacement to the approved scope — one crew sees it through to the final walkthrough.

FAQ

Storm damage questions, answered

Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Either works, but there's an advantage to having us look first: you'll know what the damage actually is before you open a claim. If it's too minor to be worth filing, we'll tell you — and if it's serious, our documentation strengthens the claim from day one.
How soon after a storm should the roof be inspected?
Quickly — within days if you suspect damage. Fresh damage is easiest to tie to the storm date, mitigation obligations kick in immediately, and open spots compound with every rain.
What does the storm inspection cost?
Nothing. The inspection and the documentation are free, whether or not a claim or repair follows.
A door-knocker says my roof is totaled. Should I sign?
Don't sign anything on the spot — especially assignments of benefits or contingency agreements you haven't read. Storm-chasing crews follow hail maps into our region every year and are gone by the time problems show up. Get a second opinion from a local company you can find at the same address next year.
