Wind Damage Repair

Restore Roof Integrity After High Winds

Wind damage repair services from Bufalo Contracting in Rockford, Illinois.

After a severe storm passes through Rockford, you may notice missing shingles, lifted flashing, or debris on your roof that signals wind damage. High winds from summer storms and spring weather events lift roofing materials, tear away protective layers, and create openings where water can enter. When damage goes unaddressed, leaks develop and spread into the attic, ceilings, and walls. Bufalo Contracting repairs roofing and exterior damage caused by high winds and severe storms common in northern Illinois.


Repair services include shingle replacement, flashing repair, and thorough inspections to identify loose or missing materials that may not be visible from the ground. After repairs, your roof will be sealed, shingles will lie flat and secure, and flashing will direct water away from vulnerable areas. The work restores roof integrity and prevents future issues caused by moisture intrusion.


Book a wind damage inspection in Rockford to assess storm damage and receive clear recommendations for repairs.

How Repairs Address Storm-Related Roof Failures

Repairs begin with a detailed inspection from the roof surface to identify all affected areas, including lifted shingles, torn underlayment, and damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges. In Rockford, wind events often lift corner and ridge shingles first, exposing the roof deck to rain and debris. Damaged shingles are removed and replaced with matching materials, and flashing is re-secured or replaced to maintain watertight seals.


Once repairs are finished, you will notice that your roof looks uniform again, with no missing or lifted sections. Water will no longer enter at vulnerable points, and the interior of your home stays dry during rain events.


Bufalo Contracting works with homeowners during insurance claim processes when applicable, providing documentation and detailed assessments that support claims. Repairs focus on restoring function and preventing additional damage, and the scope depends on the extent of wind impact and the age of your roofing system.

Questions That Come Up After Storms

Understanding what wind damage looks like and how repairs work helps you respond quickly and protect your home from further issues.

  • What are the signs of wind damage on my roof?

    Signs include missing or lifted shingles, exposed underlayment or roof deck, torn or creased flashing, and granules collecting in gutters. You may also see dents or cracks in metal components and debris lodged against roof penetrations.

  • How soon should I repair wind damage?

    You should repair wind damage as soon as possible to prevent water intrusion and additional deterioration. Even small openings allow moisture to enter and cause rot, mold, and interior damage over time.

  • Will insurance cover wind damage repairs?

    Many homeowner insurance policies cover wind damage, but coverage depends on your policy terms and deductible. Bufalo Contracting can provide documentation and assessments to support your claim in Rockford.

  • What if only a few shingles are missing?

    Even a few missing shingles expose the roof to water damage, so replacement is necessary. Matching shingles are installed to restore protection and maintain the appearance of your roof.

  • How do you prevent future wind damage?

    Proper installation with correctly rated fasteners and high-wind shingles reduces the risk of future damage. Regular inspections also identify loose materials before they fail during storms.
