Trusted Storm Damage in Ashland

The convergence of the Ohio and Big Sandy Rivers near Ashland creates atmospheric conditions that amplify severe weather. Warm, moist air moving up the river valley collides with frontal systems, producing intense thunderstorms capable of dropping large hail and generating destructive straight-line winds. Boyd County has experienced multiple significant storm events in recent years, each leaving a trail of roof damage across Ashland and surrounding communities that often isn't apparent without professional inspection.

Storm damage to asphalt shingle roofs takes several forms, and not all of them are obvious. Hail impacts crack the fiberglass mat beneath the surface, weakening the shingle even when the granule layer appears intact. Wind lifts shingle edges and breaks the adhesive seal, creating entry points for water during subsequent rains. Flying debris — tree limbs, loose materials, even gravel — can puncture or tear shingles outright. Mr. Roofer's trained inspectors identify all forms of damage during our free inspections, using systematic test squares and detailed photography to build a comprehensive record.

Out-of-state storm chasers descend on Ashland after every major weather event, often going door-to-door in the hardest-hit neighborhoods. These companies typically offer aggressive sales pitches, pressure homeowners to sign contracts immediately, and then subcontract the actual work to the lowest bidder available. Mr. Roofer takes the opposite approach. We're based right here in the Tri-State area. Our inspections are free, honest, and no-pressure — if your roof doesn't need replacing, we tell you straight. That integrity is why Ashland families come back to us and refer their neighbors.

When storm damage warrants replacement, we manage every step. We help you file the claim with proper documentation, coordinate with your insurance adjuster during their inspection, and review the scope of work to ensure it fully addresses the damage. Once approved, our crew handles the complete replacement — tear-off, decking repair, new underlayment, premium shingles, ventilation, flashing, and a thorough property cleanup.

Don't wait weeks after a storm to have your roof inspected. Insurance policies have filing deadlines, and damaged shingles left in place allow moisture to penetrate the decking and cause secondary damage that may not be covered. Contact Mr. Roofer for a free storm damage inspection within days of any severe weather event in Boyd County.
