Bruised Membrane
Ice stones crush the insulation under single-ply membrane, leaving soft spots that crack open later even when the surface looks whole.

Service Area
As a Monticello commercial roof repair contractor, we inspect roofs after wind and hail, dry in the openings, and repair the damage with a dated photo record.
Monticello commercial roof repair often follows a storm, and storm damage is easy to miss from the ground.

Hail bruises membrane and dents metal without leaving a hole you can see. Wind lifts edge metal and peels the first row of membrane at the perimeter. Both open the roof slowly, and the leaks often start weeks after the storm.
We walk the roof soon after a storm, mark each dent, puncture, and lifted edge, and photograph it with the date. Openings get a temporary dry-in right away, and the permanent repairs follow once materials are matched.
These are the signs we look for after a storm here.
Ice stones crush the insulation under single-ply membrane, leaving soft spots that crack open later even when the surface looks whole.
Dents along ribs and laps loosen the seal at the fasteners. Rain then gets in at screws that were tight before the storm.
Wind gets under loose gravel stops and coping. Once lifted, the edge flaps and tears the membrane fastened beneath it.
Translucent panels and skylight domes crack under hail, letting rain fall straight into the building below.
Storms strip leaves and branches onto the roof, and the next rain backs up behind the clogged drains and scuppers.
Flying debris and hail dent unit housings and vent caps, and the flashing at their curbs often tears as they shift.
Repairing storm damage soon keeps one storm from turning into many leaks.
A puncture or lifted edge repaired soon after the storm lets in a little water instead of a season of rain.
Drying in openings quickly keeps water out of the board under the membrane, which is the costliest part to replace.
Dated photos of each dent, crack, and puncture on the roof give the owner the details an insurance adjuster asks about.
Openings that let water in are closed first, then dented panels and bruised membrane follow, so the roof stays dry while the full repair is scheduled.
Storm repairs usually call on three of our services.

Punctured and bruised membrane gets cut out, the crushed board replaced, and a matching patch welded in place.

Storm work follows four steps from inspection to final repair.

Every dent, puncture, bruise, and lifted edge is marked and photographed with the date, along with skylights, vents, and gutters.
Punctures and torn edges get a temporary cover right away, so the next rain stays out of the insulation.
Damaged membrane is replaced in sections, dented panels swapped, crushed board replaced, and edge metal fastened back down.
You receive the dated photo set and a list of the roof repairs made, ready for the building file or an insurance claim.

Storm and repair questions from Monticello owners.
Storm Damage
Yes. After a storm we inspect for lifted edge metal, torn or punctured membrane, loose or dented panels, and damaged flashing and skylights. Openings are dried in right away when needed, then permanent repairs follow, with every finding photographed and dated for a claim or the building file.
As soon as it is safe to get on the roof. Hail damage hides in soft spots and dents, and the leaks it causes can take weeks to show up inside. An early inspection also gives you dated photos close to the storm date, which adjusters ask for.
Cost After A Storm
It depends on how much membrane or how many panels were damaged, how much insulation is crushed or wet, skylight and vent damage, and roof access. Your insurance policy decides what it covers. The free estimate follows the storm inspection. Skylights and rooftop units hit by the same storm are priced on the same estimate.
Small bruised areas are cut out, the crushed board under them replaced, and a matching patch installed. Bruising spread across most of the roof points to a larger repair or replacement. Moisture readings across the hail path show how far crushed and wet board extends.

Yes. Downtown shops, restaurants, lodging, and plants around Monticello get the same storm inspection and repairs, with roof access planned around customers and shifts. Plants also get the safety planning and phased repairs our industrial work follows.
