Storm Damage Roof Repair in Lawrenceville & Northeast Georgia
Severe storms can cause sudden and serious roof damage, leaving your home or business vulnerable to leaks, structural issues, and costly interior damage. Heavy rain, high winds, hail, and falling debris often create problems that aren’t always visible from the ground—but can worsen quickly if left unaddressed.
Genesis Roofing and Repair provides professional storm damage roof repair services for property owners across Lawrenceville and Northeast Georgia. With over 30 years of hands-on experience and owner-operated oversight on every job, we respond quickly, assess damage thoroughly, and deliver reliable repairs designed to restore your roof’s integrity after severe weather.
Our team works to stop further damage, document issues accurately, and guide you through both repairs and insurance considerations—so you can move forward with confidence after the storm.
Common Types of Storm Damage We Repair
Georgia storms can impact roofing systems in multiple ways. Understanding common forms of storm-related damage can help you recognize issues early, though a professional inspection is always recommended.
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail can bruise shingles, crack surfaces, and dislodge protective granules—damage that often isn’t obvious at first glance. Over time, this weakens your roof’s ability to shed water and resist leaks. We inspect for both visible and hidden hail damage and repair affected areas before problems escalate.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
Strong winds can lift, tear, or remove shingles entirely, especially along roof edges and ridgelines. Wind-driven debris or falling branches can also puncture roofing materials. We secure loose components, replace missing materials, and restore your roof’s resistance to future wind events.
Water Intrusion & Leak Damage
Heavy rainfall often exposes vulnerabilities such as damaged flashing, loose shingles, or compromised seals. Left untreated, water intrusion can lead to interior staining, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Our team identifies entry points and performs precise, watertight repairs.
Fallen Trees & Large Debris
Storms can cause trees or heavy branches to fall onto roofs, resulting in immediate structural damage. These situations require urgent stabilization followed by professional repairs to restore safety and prevent further collapse.
Damaged or Compromised Flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys is critical for waterproofing. Storms can loosen, bend, or tear flashing, creating direct entry points for water. We repair or replace flashing to restore proper drainage and protection.
Early identification and professional repairs can save thousands in future damage and extend the life of your roof.

Proactive maintenance can significantly extend roof lifespan and reduce emergency situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged in a storm?
First, ensure everyone’s safety and stay away from potentially hazardous areas (downed lines, unstable structures). Avoid climbing the roof yourself. Document visible damage with photos/videos if safe to do so. Then call us right away at (404) 444-9878 for emergency response — we’ll dispatch quickly to install protective tarping and prevent further water intrusion or interior damage. Acting fast minimizes costly secondary issues like mold.
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Common visible signs include missing, curled, or lifted shingles; granule loss in gutters; hail dents/bruisings/cracks; wind-torn flashing; water stains on ceilings/attics; debris punctures; or damaged vents/skylights. Hidden damage (wet insulation, decking rot) is harder to spot. Our free storm damage inspection uses infrared scanners and moisture meters to find everything — don’t rely on a visual check alone. Schedule yours today.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage roof repairs?
Yes — most policies cover sudden storm events like hail, wind, and falling trees/debris (not wear & tear or neglect). We specialize in insurance claim assistance: providing detailed photos, measurements, reports, and direct adjuster coordination to help secure full coverage quickly and fairly. Many homeowners get faster approvals and better settlements with our support. Contact us for a free assessment to start the process.
How soon can you repair my storm-damaged roof?
We respond within hours (day or night) in Lawrenceville, Buford, Gainesville, Sugar Hill, and Northeast Georgia. Emergency tarping/stabilization happens immediately upon arrival. Full permanent repairs or replacement typically follow within days to a week (depending on damage extent, weather, and insurance approval). You’ll get a clear timeline during your free inspection.
What temporary solutions are provided before full repairs are made?
For safety and to stop leaks, we install professional-grade emergency tarping (or plywood for larger openings) right away. This weatherproof seal prevents further water entry, mold, and structural damage until permanent repairs can safely begin. We provide written documentation for insurance and schedule full restoration as soon as conditions allow.
