Your Roof Took a Hit: What to Do After Storm Damage in Eastern North Carolina

January 8, 2026

Heavy wind, hail, and fast-moving storms are no strangers to Eastern North Carolina. If your home recently took a beating from a storm, the roof may have suffered damage that isn’t always visible from the ground. Quick action can save you time, money, and long-term headaches.
Here’s what you should do if you suspect your roof was affected.


1. Look for Signs of Visible Damage


After a storm, walk your property safely and look for red flags:
● Shingles on the ground
● Missing or curling shingles on the roof
● Dents in metal flashing or gutters
● Water spots or drips in the attic or ceiling
Even subtle signs can indicate deeper issues, so document what you see with photos if
possible.


2. Schedule a Professional Inspection


While a visual check is helpful, the real condition of your roof requires a trained eye. Goliath
Roofing offers storm damage inspections that go deeper. We assess structural areas, look for
hidden water penetration, and document everything for your records.


3. Act Quickly to Prevent Further Damage


Storm damage can weaken your roof’s ability to keep out moisture. Even a small leak can
spread quickly. Our team can perform emergency tarping or fast repairs to keep your home
protected until a permanent fix is in place.


4. File Your Insurance Claim With Confidence


Navigating insurance claims can feel overwhelming. Goliath Roofing helps simplify the process.
We provide detailed inspection reports, photo documentation, and can even communicate
directly with your insurance adjuster to keep things moving smoothly.


5. Choose a Trusted Local Partner for Repairs
