What storm and hail damage looks like
- Bruised shingles and lost granules, not always visible from below.
- Missing or lifted shingles after high winds.
- Dented flashing, vents and gutters.
- Leaks and interior water spots showing up days later.
How we help with your claim in Midland
We start with a free inspection and honest documentation. If there is real damage, we meet your adjuster and explain what happened. Then we handle the repair or replacement, and we work with all major home insurance companies. Many of our Columbus-area customers have had insurance cover the full job, decking and upgraded shingles included.
Emergency response
Tree through the roof or an active leak? We can tarp the roof to stop interior damage while the claim and permanent repair get scheduled. Call us and we will move fast.
What to do after a storm hits Midland
- Stay safe first. Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof.
- Take photos of anything you can see from the ground: shingles in the yard, dented gutters, damaged siding, broken windows.
- Stop active water with buckets and towels inside, and call us if the roof needs a tarp.
- Get a free inspection before you file, so you know whether there is real, claimable damage.
- Keep receipts for emergency tarping or temporary repairs, since policies often cover reasonable steps to prevent more damage.
Hail versus wind damage
Hail leaves bruises: soft spots where granules are knocked off and the mat underneath is fractured, plus dents in vents, gutters and metal flashing. Wind damage looks different: creased or torn shingles, missing tabs, and shingles that have come unsealed and lifted. Adjusters look for both patterns, and we document them separately so nothing gets missed on your Midland claim.

Common questions
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim?
It depends on your policy, so check the declarations page or ask your agent. Filing sooner is always better, because damage that is left alone can lead to leaks that are harder to tie back to the storm.
Will you meet my insurance adjuster in Midland?
Yes. We meet the adjuster on the roof, walk through the damage we documented, and make sure everything gets looked at.
What if my claim is denied?
Sometimes there is no storm damage, and we will tell you that honestly. If we believe damage was missed, we can document it further and you can ask your insurer for a re-inspection.
Did the April 2025 tornado reach Midland?
The National Weather Service traced the April 6, 2025 EF1 tornado from the Beaver Run neighborhood northeast along Manchester Expressway to an end point near Midland Woods Drive, about a mile southwest of Midland. Most damage was snapped and uprooted trees, with a few homes hit by falling trees.
Does Midland get large hail?
NOAA records hail up to 1.75 inches from Green Island Hills to Midland on Jan. 21, 2012, and up to 1.5 inches from Midland to Flat Rock on July 3, 2011. Hail that size can bruise or crack shingles, so we recommend an inspection after a hail storm.
