After damaging wind damage, and before any repairs begin, these are the areas of a property most likely to have been affected:
- The roof for lifted, creased, or missing shingles and failed seals.
- Fascia, soffit, gutters, and flashing for separation or loss.
- Windows, doors, siding, and outbuildings for wind and debris impact.
- Trees and limbs that contacted the structure.
See the first-24-hours guide for what to do before and while documenting this damage, and how reported damaging wind measurements translate to property damage.
