Storm Damage Roof Repair in Kalamazoo and West Michigan

In some cases, storm damage is obvious thanks to immediate leaks, ceiling stains, or missing shingles, but in many cases, it’s difficult to detect. You may not realize a storm damaged your roof until months later when you start getting leaks.


At Advantage Roofing & Exteriors, we specialize in storm damage inspections, repairs, and roof replacements for homeowners across Kalamazoo and the surrounding region. We have decades of experience documenting roof damage, providing assistance with home insurance claims, and performing cost-effective repairs.

Why You Should Leave a Post-Storm Roof Inspection to a Professional

Climbing onto your roof after a storm is dangerous, not only because of the risk of falls, but also because walking on damaged or water-soaked roofing can make things worse. It’s best to leave storm damage inspections to a trained professional who knows how to evaluate the condition of your roof safely and thoroughly.


If you do decide to file an insurance claim, your provider will require detailed documentation from a licensed contractor. By calling us first, you save yourself time, reduce risk, and get expert support from the start.
