Trusted Storm Damage in St. Albans

The convergence of the Coal and Kanawha Rivers at St. Albans creates atmospheric conditions that amplify severe weather. Moisture rising from the river surfaces feeds thunderstorm development, and the valley geography channels storm systems directly through the community. Hailstorms, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall events hit St. Albans multiple times each spring and summer, often affecting the entire corridor from Dunbar through Nitro.

Storm damage to asphalt shingle roofs isn't always dramatic. Hail fractures the fiberglass mat beneath the surface granules, compromising the shingle's structural integrity while leaving little visible evidence from ground level. Wind lifts shingle edges and permanently breaks adhesive seals, creating entry points for moisture during subsequent rain events. Over time, these hidden deficiencies allow water to reach the decking, causing rot that spreads silently until it manifests as an interior ceiling stain or drip.

Mr. Roofer's storm damage inspections are thorough and systematic. We examine every slope, document hail strikes per test square, photograph wind damage and displaced shingles, and inspect all flashings, vents, and penetrations. The detailed report we produce is the foundation of your insurance claim — clear, comprehensive, and formatted to meet industry documentation standards.

Storm chasers flood the Kanawha Valley after every significant weather event. These out-of-state companies knock on doors, sign contracts, and often deliver substandard work before disappearing. Mr. Roofer is local. We serve St. Albans, Nitro, Cross Lanes, Dunbar, and South Charleston — and we're here for the long term. Our business depends on the trust we build in this community, not on the volume of contracts we can sign before moving to the next storm zone.

Don't wait to have your roof inspected after severe weather. Insurance policies have filing deadlines, and damaged shingles left in place invite secondary water damage that can turn a straightforward claim into a much larger problem. Contact Mr. Roofer for your free storm damage inspection promptly after any significant hail or wind event.
