Storm & Hail Damage Roofing in Clovis, NM
Hail, high wind and wind-driven rain can damage a roof without leaving an obvious hole. All About Roofing & Construction helps Clovis property owners document visible damage, understand the condition of the roof, and decide whether repair or replacement actually makes sense.

- Clear photo documentation
- Licensed, bonded & insured
After the storm
Start with the roof condition—not assumptions about a claim or a replacement.
Storm damage is not always obvious
A roof can look fine from the driveway and still deserve a closer look.
Severe weather does not damage every roof in the same way. One home may lose shingles in high wind while the house next door keeps every shingle but develops impact damage, loosened flashing or problems around vents and roof edges.
That is why storm damage should be evaluated as a roofing problem first. We look at the roofing material, visible impact patterns, edges, penetrations, flashing, metal components, drainage and any interior symptoms before recommending a repair or replacement.
For Clovis and Eastern New Mexico property owners, the goal is simple: understand what the storm actually changed and what needs to happen next.
What severe weather can affect
Storm damage can involve much more than missing shingles.
A good inspection looks at the roofing system as a whole instead of searching for one dramatic mark.
Wind-Lifted Roofing
High wind can break shingle seals, crease tabs, loosen fasteners and damage edges even when the roofing material is not completely missing.
Flashing & Ridge Damage
Ridge caps, wall flashing, pipe boots, vents and roof transitions can be stressed or displaced during severe weather and become future leak points.
Metal Roof Damage
Metal panels, trim and accessories can show dents, loosened fasteners, displaced edges or damaged sealant and flashing details after a storm.
Flat & Low-Slope Damage
Membranes and low-slope systems can be affected by punctures, flashing problems, rooftop debris, drainage issues and damage around equipment.
Leaks & Interior Symptoms
Water stains, damp insulation or active dripping may appear immediately—or only after the next rain exposes a storm-created weak point.
After severe weather
What should you do after a Clovis hail or windstorm?
Roof damage is frustrating, but the first few steps can be simple. Protect people first, document what can be seen safely, and get the roof evaluated before making assumptions about the scope of work.
Schedule a Storm-Damage Evaluation →- 01Stay off a damaged roofLoose roofing, wet surfaces and hidden damage can make climbing unsafe.
- 02Check inside the propertyLook for water stains, active leaks or other new interior symptoms.
- 03Photograph what is safely visibleGround-level photos of debris, missing shingles or exterior damage can be useful.
- 04Have the roofing system evaluatedA closer inspection can separate storm damage from older wear and unrelated conditions.
Repair vs. replacement
A storm does not automatically mean you need a new roof.
The scope should match the actual damage and the condition of the surrounding roofing system.
- Damage is isolated to a limited area.
- The surrounding roof remains serviceable.
- A specific flashing, vent, edge or group of shingles was affected.
- The repair can restore the system without chasing widespread failures.
- The roof has meaningful service life remaining.
- Damage is widespread across multiple roof areas.
- The roof already had significant age or deterioration.
- Matching or reliably repairing damaged materials is impractical.
- Repeated leaks or earlier repairs show broader system problems.
- A repair would leave too much compromised roofing in place.
Document the roof clearly.
Useful roofing documentation can include photos of visible conditions, affected roof areas and a written repair or replacement scope. That gives you a better record of what the contractor actually found.
Insurance documentation without promises
We explain the roofing work. Your carrier decides coverage.
If you choose to open an insurance claim, clear documentation can help you communicate what was observed on the roof. We can identify visible roof damage and provide an estimate for the roofing work we recommend.
Coverage, deductibles, claim approval and policy interpretation are decisions between you and your insurance carrier. We do not promise that a storm mark will be covered, and we do not replace the insurer or a licensed public adjuster.
That distinction keeps the conversation where it belongs: what happened to the roof, what condition it is in now, and what work would restore it properly.
Our storm-damage process
From severe weather to a clear roofing plan.
- 1
Tell us what happened
Hail, wind, leaks, missing roofing or a recent storm—start with what you know.
- 2
Inspect the roof
We evaluate visible roofing condition, vulnerable details and storm-related damage indicators.
- 3
Document findings
We explain what we see and identify areas that need repair, replacement or continued monitoring.
- 4
Choose the right scope
Repair when repair makes sense; discuss replacement when the condition of the roof supports it.
- 5
Complete the roofing work
The work is matched to the roofing system and the damage that actually exists.
Residential & commercial storm damage
Different roofs show storm damage differently.
Asphalt shingles, metal roofing and commercial low-slope systems do not respond to hail and wind in exactly the same way. The material, age, fastening method, slope, flashing and existing condition all affect what a storm can do.
That is why our storm-damage recommendations connect back to the roofing system itself—not a one-size-fits-all storm checklist.

Storm & hail roofing FAQs
Questions Clovis property owners ask after severe weather.
Storm damage can be confusing because the most important damage is not always the easiest to see.
Does hail damage always mean I need a new roof?
No. Some damage can be isolated and repairable, while widespread damage or an already aging roof may make replacement worth discussing. The roof condition should drive the recommendation.
Can hail damage be invisible from the ground?
Yes. Impact damage can be subtle, and wind damage can break seals or crease shingles without leaving a large bare spot. A closer roofing evaluation is often needed after significant weather.
What should I do first after a hail or windstorm?
Keep people off the roof, check the interior for active water entry, photograph visible exterior damage from a safe location, and arrange a roofing evaluation if you suspect damage.
Should I contact a roofer or my insurance company first?
You can contact either, but a roofing evaluation can help you understand the physical condition of the roof before or during the claim process. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance carrier under your policy.
Can wind damage a roof even when no shingles are missing?
Yes. Wind can loosen seals, lift or crease shingles, stress fasteners and damage ridge caps, flashing and edges without completely removing roofing material.
Do you evaluate storm damage on commercial roofs?
Yes. All About Roofing & Construction works with residential, commercial, metal and low-slope roofing systems throughout the Clovis area.
