Storm damage isn’t always easy to see
Hail and wind can damage a roof in ways that are hard to spot from the ground. Left unchecked, that damage can turn into leaks and costly problems down the road.

- Missing, torn or lifted shingles
- Dents in vents, flashing, gutters or downspouts

Watch out for storm chasers
After a big hail or wind storm, out-of-town and even out-of-state roofing crews flood into Minnesota neighborhoods. Many knock on doors, sign up as many homes as they can, and move on to the next storm.
When problems show up months later, the crew, the phone number and the warranty may be gone. A local contractor with a Minnesota license and a long track record will still be here to answer the phone.
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry recommends getting referrals, checking that a contractor is licensed, and not signing anything until you’ve chosen who you want to work with. Read the state’s tips for hiring a storm repair contractor.
Warning signs of a storm chaser
- They knock on your door uninvited right after a storm
- Out-of-state plates, no local address, or a phone number that won’t be answered next year
- Pressure to sign something today, often “just so we can talk to your insurance”
- An offer to pay or waive your insurance deductible, which is illegal in Minnesota
- Gifts or incentives for signing, such as yard-sign payments or free upgrades
- A large payment demanded up front, before any materials arrive

How can I tell a storm chaser from a local roofer?
