Storm Damage Roof Repair Near You
Heritage Roofing & Repair repairs roofs damaged by hail, high wind, heavy rain and fallen trees across Northwest Arkansas and the southern Missouri Ozarks, and every storm job starts with a free roof inspection. We are a family roofing company founded in 1968, with offices in Berryville, Harrison and Fayetteville. After a storm, call or text (870) 654-1164. If water is getting in, we tarp the roof as soon as it is safe to work and then schedule the permanent repair.
Storm damage is easy to miss from the ground. Hail bruises shingles without knocking them loose, and wind can break the seal strip on a shingle that still looks flat. We check the whole roof, photograph every damaged area and give you a written report you can hand to your insurance company. As one of the storm damage roofers who live and work here, Heritage Roofing & Repair is still around long after the out-of-town crews have left.

What Storms Do to Roofs in the Ozarks
Most roof storm damage in our area comes from five things. Here is what each one does and what to look for.
- Hail: leaves dark, soft spots where granules are knocked off, cracks tiles and dents metal vents, gutters and metal roofing. The damage shortens a shingle’s life even when nothing leaks yet. See hail damage roof repair and these photos of real hail damage.
- Wind: lifts and creases shingles, breaks their seal strips, tears off ridge caps and pulls flashing away from chimneys and walls. Creased shingles often blow off in the next storm.
- Heavy rain: finds any weak spot in flashing, valleys and vent boots, then soaks the roof deck and insulation before a stain shows on the ceiling.
- Fallen trees and limbs: puncture the roof and can crack rafters. These need emergency roof repair and a tarp the same day when it is safe to work.
- Ice and snow: ice dams along the eaves push water back under the shingles during winter storms.
Storms here are not only a spring problem. According to the National Weather Service office in Little Rock, Arkansas has a second severe weather season in the fall or early winter about two years out of three. Severe weather warnings for Carroll, Benton, Washington and Madison counties come from the National Weather Service office in Tulsa, for Boone County from the Little Rock office, and for Taney and Barry counties in Missouri from the National Weather Service office in Springfield, Missouri.
Quick tip: after hail or high wind, book a free roof inspection within a day or two, even if nothing is leaking. Damage is easier to document, and to prove to your insurer, while it is fresh.
Storm Damage Repair for Homes and Businesses
Residential storm damage roof repair: we repair and, when needed, replace asphalt shingle, metal, tile and composite slate roofs, matching the existing materials so the repair does not stand out. We also handle apartment and multi-family roofs.
Commercial roof storm repairs: flat roofing systems like TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen are easily punctured by hail and debris, and water then spreads under the membrane. Our commercial roofing crews find the punctures, patch or replace the membrane and check drains so water does not pond. See commercial roof repair for offices, shops and warehouses.
Why You Should Not Wait After a Storm
- Water damage spreads: a small opening lets water into the decking, insulation and ceiling, and those repairs cost more than the roof fix.
- The next storm finishes the job: lifted and creased shingles blow off in the next strong wind.
- Insurance timing: most policies ask you to report damage promptly. Waiting makes it harder to show the damage came from a specific storm.
- Hidden damage shows up later: hail bruising can take months to start leaking, long after the storm date is forgotten.
Our Storm Damage Roof Repair Process
1. Stop the water
If the roof is open or leaking, we provide emergency roof tarping as soon as it is safe to get on the roof, so no more water gets in while the claim and repairs are sorted out.
2. Free storm damage inspection
We inspect every slope, the flashing, vents, gutters and the attic, and photograph each damaged area with a date. You get a written report whether or not you hire us.
3. Help with the insurance claim
We explain what the report shows, help you file the roof damage insurance claim, and can meet the adjuster on your roof so nothing is missed. Our guide to how roofers and insurance adjusters work together explains that visit, and should I file an insurance claim for my roof? helps you decide whether to file at all.
4. Repair or replace
We replace damaged shingles, tiles, underlayment, flashing and decking. When the damage covers most of the roof, we recommend a full roof replacement instead and explain why. Smaller problems are handled as a standard roof repair.

Storm Damage Insurance Help
Homeowners insurance usually covers sudden damage from hail, wind and falling trees, but not normal wear. Your insurance company decides what is covered. We help by:
- Photographing and documenting the damage right after the storm
- Writing a detailed repair estimate your adjuster can compare line by line
- Meeting the adjuster on the roof if you want us there
- Explaining your options when a claim is partly paid or denied
After major storms, the Arkansas Insurance Department Consumer Services also sends staff to damaged areas to help homeowners file claims. Before you sign with any roofer who knocks on your door after a storm, check their license with the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board. If a new roof is not covered, ask about our roofing financing options.

Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground and inside the house, note the date of the storm, move valuables away from any leak and call a roofer for an inspection. Call your insurance company promptly once you know the roof is damaged.
Look for missing or creased shingles, shingle granules in the gutters or downspouts, dents in vents and gutters, and new stains on ceilings or in the attic. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground, so a close inspection is the only way to be sure.
Usually, when the damage is sudden, such as hail, wind or a falling tree. Normal wear and old age are not covered, and your deductible still applies. Your insurance company makes the final coverage decision; we document the damage so the claim reflects everything on the roof.
It depends on the roofing material, how much of the roof is damaged, the pitch and whether the decking is affected, so we price every job after a free inspection. You get the price in writing before any work starts. If insurance covers the damage, your cost is usually your deductible.
It helps. When your roofer meets the adjuster on the roof, they can point out damage that is easy to miss, such as hail bruising, broken seal strips and damaged flashing. We attend adjuster visits when the homeowner asks.
Most storm repairs are finished in one day. Full roof replacements after hail usually take one to three days once the claim is approved and materials arrive. After a large storm, scheduling depends on how many homes in the area were hit.
Yes, when hail or wind has damaged most of the roof, the decking is soaked, or the roof was already near the end of its life. We tell you whether a repair will hold, and price a replacement alongside it when it will not.
Hire a roofer with a local office and a track record in your area, check their license with the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board, and never sign a contract or pay in full before the work is done. Heritage has served the Ozarks since 1968.
