Storm Damage Roof Repair in Rochester, NY
When a storm tears through Rochester, roof problems often start where water is sneakiest—at flashings, valleys, eaves, and penetrations. Robertson Roofing’s storm damage roof repair service is designed to get you watertight fast, then restore your roof to long-term health with manufacturer-compliant repairs that last. We start with a safety-focused inspection, mapping wind paths, hail impact zones, and debris strikes. You’ll get a prioritized scope: stabilize, repair, and improve. Stabilization includes dry-in tarping or self-adhered membranes. Repair covers structural checks, underlayment replacement, shingle or panel integration, and full detail rebuilds at chimneys and walls. Finally, we look at prevention—ice barrier expansion, upgraded boots, or vent changes—to reduce risk next time.
Common Rochester Storm Issues We Fix
Wind uplift along rakes and ridges; broken seals allowing capillary water drive; hail-bruised shingles losing granules; bent or missing drip edge; displaced gutters causing overflows; punctures from limbs; and ice-dam blowbacks after a rapid freeze. Our team uses the right fasteners, membranes, and flashings for cold-weather performance and aligns with local codes. We document everything with photos and straightforward language so adjusters and homeowners are on the same page.
Why Our Process Works
We combine forensic inspection with practical, field-proven detail work. That means fewer callbacks, cleaner claims, and a roof that’s stronger after the storm than before. We’re Rochester locals—our specs are built around lake-effect snow, freeze–thaw cycles, and the kind of gusts that test sloppy work. Ours isn’t.

Rapid Stabilization That Actually Holds
When a storm hits, the first step is stopping active water entry. But not all “temporary” measures are equal. Our stabilization is engineered for Rochester weather: we choose reinforced tarping methods that anchor to framing (not just shingles) to reduce sail effect, and we use cold-weather-rated self-adhered membranes at torn shingles, valleys, or pipe boots to create an immediate seal. At chimneys and walls, we install temporary counter-flashing where needed to shed water away from vertical transitions. Indoors, we provide guidance on containment—catch basins, dehumidification, and safe access—so the rest of your home stays protected while we line up permanent materials. The result is a dry-in that can ride out another round of wind or snow without failing, buying time for careful, code-compliant repairs instead of rushed guesswork. Our goal is simple: one emergency, one stabilization, zero re-leaks.
Claim-Ready Photo Reports & Clear Scopes
Insurance moves faster when the story is obvious. We structure our reports for adjusters: a timeline of the storm event as you experienced it, annotated photos of exterior and interior damage, a diagram of slopes and details affected, and a line-item scope separating emergency mitigation from permanent repair. We flag code-required upgrades (like ice-and-water shield coverage in certain zones) and provide manufacturer references when we’re restoring a system to spec. You’ll see options where they exist—repair vs. partial replacement vs. full slope replacement—and we explain the pros, cons, and cost differences of each in plain language. That transparency keeps everyone aligned and reduces frustrating back-and-forth so your roof gets fixed faster.

Rebuilding Details Stronger Than Before
After stabilization and claim approval, we rebuild the system so the next storm has less to grab. Along rakes and eaves, we upgrade fasteners and ensure starter courses lock correctly. At valleys, we use the right method for your roof—open metal, closed-cut, or woven—executed to resist scouring and ice pressure. Pipe boots are replaced with UV-stable, cold-rated collars and properly lapped underlayment. Sidewalls and chimneys get new step and counter-flashing, with reglet cuts and sealants designed for freeze–thaw movement. We also evaluate attic ventilation and gutter performance so meltwater leaves your roof quickly, reducing ice-dam risk. The deliverable is not just “patched”—it’s a storm-ready roof that meets code, respects manufacturer guidance, and protects your home when the weather swings hard again.
