What Storm Damage Do Hudson Roofs Get?
Hudson roofs get storm damage from wind that lifts and tears off shingles, hail that bruises and cracks them, and trees and limbs that fall onto the roof. In September 2021 a windstorm brought down trees and power lines across Hudson and damaged the Hudson library, and in July 2023 a downburst partly tore the roof off an apartment building in North Hudson.
Wind damage often starts small. A gust breaks the seal on a row of shingles without tearing them off, and the loose shingles flap and crease in every storm after until they fail. Hail leaves a different mark, and our hail damage roof repair work covers bruised and cracked shingles in detail.
Storm repairs are part of our roof repair work, and the stormiest stretch here is June and July, when Wisconsin's damaging winds and hail come most often.
Severe season
June and July
Most of Wisconsin's damaging-wind reports come in June and July, so check your roof after summer storms.
Signs of Storm Damage on Your Hudson Roof
The signs of storm damage on your Hudson roof are shingles in the yard, bare or lifted spots on the roof, dents and bruises from hail, limbs on the roof, and flashing or gutters knocked loose. Look from the ground first; leave climbing to us.
Shingles in the Yard
Pieces of shingle on the lawn or driveway mean the wind tore them from somewhere on the roof.
Lifted or Creased Shingles
Shingles that stick up or show a crease line have lost their seal and will tear off in the next wind.
Bare Spots or Exposed Wood
Missing shingles leave underlayment or bare decking open to rain.
Hail Bruises and Dents
Dark spots on shingles and dents in vents and gutters show hail came with the wind.
Limbs on the Roof
Even a limb that slid off can crack shingles or punch through the deck.
Loose Flashing or Gutters
Wind can peel flashing off a wall or chimney and pull gutters away from the fascia.

What Does Storm Damage Roof Repair Cost in Hudson?
A typical storm damage roof repair costs $400 to $1,900 on a national range, not a quote, since no cost guide publishes a Hudson figure. A few torn-off shingles sit at the low end; a tree through the roof can mean decking and rafter repair on top.
When the storm is a covered loss, your insurer pays to repair or replace the damaged part of the roof, minus your deductible, so your own cost is often the deductible.

Wisconsin's Storm Chaser Law Protects Hudson Homeowners
Wisconsin's storm chaser law protects Hudson homeowners by barring roofing contractors from paying or rebating your insurance deductible and from negotiating your claim for you, and by letting you cancel a contract within three business days of a written claim denial. Before you sign, the contractor must also give you a written statement asking whether the work is tied to an insurance claim.
With your consent, a contractor may discuss the damage with you or your adjuster and give and submit an estimate, and that is how our roof insurance claim help works. You stay in charge of the claim.
A few more steps protect you after any storm. Get a written contract listing the work, materials, start and finish dates and warranty, get lien waivers for every payment, and keep all receipts and correspondence.
Your deductible
Yours to pay
No contractor in Wisconsin may offer to pay or rebate your insurance deductible.
Who Can Repair Storm Damage on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can repair Storm Damage on a Hudson Home, because that is the credential the state requires of anyone who pulls a building permit for work on a one- or two-family home, and Wisconsin has no roofing-specific license. Hudson Roofing Pros does this work, and whoever you hire, ask for proof of that credential and of insurance when you book. You can check a credential on the state's credential lookup.
In the city of Hudson, roofing repairs need no building permit unless there are structural changes or repairs, such as framing broken by a tree. In the villages and towns around Hudson, we confirm the permit rules with your local building inspector before work starts.
Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Wind Damage to a Roof?
Yes, when wind is a covered loss, the insurer must pay to replace the part of the roof the wind damaged, minus your deductible. It is not required to replace the parts of the roof that were not damaged.
Should I Sign With the Crew That Knocked on My Door?
Do not sign with a crew at your door until you have checked who they are, and never let a traveling crew into your home. A contract signed at your door can usually be cancelled until midnight of the third business day after you get the written cancellation notice, and a crew that offers to pay your deductible is breaking Wisconsin law.
How Soon After a Storm Should I Have My Roof Checked?
Have your roof checked soon after a storm, before the next rain finds any opening. Photograph the damage first, then call us; damage left over a winter can let water rot the deck.
Can a Fallen Tree Damage the Rafters?
Yes, a fallen tree can crack rafters and trusses as well as the deck. We cover the opening, then repair the framing through our roof framing repair work before the new deck and shingles go on.
