Richmond's Trusted Roofing Experts
A single Central Virginia thunderstorm can lift shingles, dent gutters, and open a path for water to get inside. Absolute Building Services LLC inspects roofs after hail, wind, and heavy rain, documents the damage with photos and notes, and completes the repair. From Richmond to Chesterfield, Henrico, Midlothian, Powhatan, Amelia, and Hanover County, we help homeowners understand what the storm did and what it takes to fix it.
Not every storm leaves a hole in the roof. Often the damage is subtle and easy to miss from the ground. After a storm passes, take a walk around your home and check for these common warning signs.
High wind can break the seal on shingles and lift or tear them off entirely. Look for shingles sitting crooked, torn at the edges, or scattered in your yard.
A heavy hailstorm knocks the protective granules off your shingles. If you see grit collecting in your gutters or at the bottom of your downspouts, the shingles may have taken a hit.
The metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes is often the first thing to fail. Bent, torn, or pulled-back flashing lets water straight into the roof.
Water stains on the ceiling, bubbling paint, or drips in the attic usually show up in the days after a storm. By the time you see a stain indoors, water has often been getting in for a while.
Hail leaves small round dents on metal vents, ridge caps, and gutter runs. Those dents are a clear clue that the same storm hit the shingles on top of your roof.
Fallen limbs, scuffed shingles, and piles of leaves and twigs on the roof after a storm can hide punctures or cracked shingle surfaces. It is worth a closer look.

Response to quote and inspection requests
A storm damage inspection is more than a quick glance at the roof. We work through a simple, careful process so you understand exactly what happened and what it will take to make it right.
We look at the shingles, flashing, vents, valleys, and transitions, and check the gutters and downspouts for signs of impact and wear.
We take photos and written notes of everything we find. That record is yours to keep and useful when you talk with your insurer.
You get a written quote that spells out the repair or replacement in plain language, with no pressure and no surprise line items.
If you file an insurance claim, we can meet your adjuster on site to walk the roof together and point out the damage we documented.
Filing a storm damage claim can feel like a lot of paperwork. We make the roofing side of it easier by documenting the damage thoroughly and being available to meet your adjuster. What we cannot do is decide your claim for you.
We document the damage. We photograph and describe what the storm did to your roof so you have a clear record to share with your insurer.
We can meet your adjuster on site. When your adjuster comes out, we can be there to walk the roof and point out the damage we found.
Coverage and claim decisions are made by your insurer. Every policy is different, and only your insurance company can determine whether a claim is covered or how much it will pay.
We do not promise claim approval and we do not waive deductibles. We are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster or an insurance company. We will give you honest information and a fair quote for the work.

Robin Frank
"I hired Nick to reseal a leaky skylight and repair some damaged shingles caused by a previous ice storm. He talked me through what needed to be done and I appreciated the knowledge sharing. Nick was very responsive, professional, and timely, which unfortunately is rare with some contractors these days. Would highly recommend!"
