Hail, Wind, or Storm Damage? Columbus's Trusted Storm Restoration Team Is Ready

As soon as you safely can. Hail and wind damage often isn't visible from the ground, and small breaks in shingles or flashing can start leaking with the next rain. Many insurance policies also set time limits for filing a claim, so waiting can work against you. Even if you don't see obvious problems, a free inspection after a significant storm gives you a record of your home's condition.

First, make sure everyone is safe and stay off the roof. Take photos of any visible damage, including hail on the ground, dented vents or gutters, and leaks inside the house. If water is coming in, move belongings and catch drips to limit interior damage. Then call us to schedule an inspection. We'll document the damage, help you understand what your policy is likely to cover, and recommend next steps.

It depends on how widespread the damage is and the age and condition of your roof. Isolated wind damage, like a few missing shingles, can often be repaired. Widespread hail bruising across several slopes usually calls for a full replacement, which insurance often covers when the damage is documented. We'll show you photos of what we find and explain your options. We will not push a replacement if a repair will do the job.

After big hail events, out-of-town contractors often go door to door offering fast, cheap roofs. Warning signs include out-of-state plates, no local office, pressure to sign on the spot, and requests for large payments upfront. When problems show up later, those crews are hard to find. Patriot Roofing has offices in Columbus and Albion and has served Nebraska since 2018. We're here before the storm and long after the job is done.

Yes. Storms rarely damage just the roof. Hail can crack or dent siding, bend gutters and downspouts, and break window seals or screens, while high winds can tear trim and fascia loose. We inspect your entire exterior and can handle roofing, siding, gutters, windows, fascia, and soffit as one project, with one contractor, one schedule, and one set of documentation for your claim.

Patriot Roofing primarily serves Columbus, Schuyler, Monroe, Genoa, Fullerton, Platte Center, and Norfolk, and also accepts projects in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Fremont, Burwell, Ainsworth, Albion, Ord, and other communities across Nebraska, along with areas in South Dakota and Iowa.
