Roof Storm Damage Repair in Findlay, OH

GAF-Certified Roofing & Full-Exterior Storm Repair for Hancock County Homeowners

When a severe storm moves through Findlay, the damage it leaves on your roof isn’t always obvious from the ground. Lifted shingles, bruised decking, damaged flashing, and granule loss can go undetected for months until water finds its way inside. Since 2007, Clear Choice Exteriors has helped Findlay and Hancock County homeowners identify that damage early, navigate their insurance claims, and get their roofs restored with materials and workmanship built to last.

We’re a locally owned company led by Daryle and Ethan Reinhart. Our GAF-certified installers handle roof damage repair to industry-leading standards, and because we cover the full exterior, storm damage to your siding and gutters can be assessed and repaired under one contractor.

If a recent storm has you concerned about your roof, call us at (419) 664-4491 to schedule a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate.

What Hail & Wind Do to a Findlay Roof

Northwest Ohio’s severe thunderstorm season peaks from late spring through summer, bringing hail, straight-line winds, and heavy rainfall. The damage these events cause is often subtle but progressive. Hail bruises the fiberglass mat beneath shingles and strips the mineral granules that protect asphalt from UV degradation. Once those granules are gone, shingles can age more rapidly. Delaying an inspection can allow secondary water intrusion to reach the decking, insulation, and interior framing before anyone notices.

Here’s what our inspectors look for during a storm damage assessment:

• Hail damage: Bald spots and dark bruising on shingle surfaces; black grit accumulating in gutters and at downspout outlets; dents on metal vents, flashing, and gutters
• Wind damage: Lifted, cracked, or missing shingles; separated or damaged ridge cap; exposed underlayment
• Debris impact: Cracked or punctured shingles; damaged flashing around chimneys and skylights

Ohio homeowners insurance policies generally cover hail, wind, falling trees, and other sudden storm losses. Age-related wear isn’t covered, and many policies set a limited filing window from the date of loss. Some Ohio carriers may require wind and hail claims to be filed within as little as six months. Getting an inspection scheduled promptly can help protect your ability to file a valid claim.

Our Storm Damage Repair Process

We don’t hand you a proposal and leave you to figure out the insurance side on your own. Before any claim is filed, we conduct a thorough roof inspection and produce a photo report documenting every area of concern. That report becomes the foundation for your claim.

From there, we guide you through each step: filing the claim, preparing for the adjuster meeting, comparing the insurer’s claim summary against our initial assessment, and addressing scope if the adjuster has missed or undervalued damage. After repairs or replacement are complete, we provide the documentation your insurer needs to release recoverable depreciation, which is the portion of the settlement withheld until the work is done. For a detailed walkthrough, visit our Insurance Claim Process page.

All repairs and replacements use GAF roofing materials. For Findlay homeowners who want added resilience against future hail, we also offer impact-resistant shingles. Our work is backed by comprehensive warranties covering both materials and installation labor.
