Roof Damage Does Not Wait for Paperwork

A storm can tear shingles off your roof, crack flashing around vents, or drive water under layers you cannot see from the ground. In Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island and Long Island, high winds and heavy rain often cause damage that shows up as missing shingles, dented gutters, or water stains on your ceiling. You might not know the full extent until you climb into the attic and see daylight through gaps or feel dampness in the insulation.

Gemz Construction handles storm damage inspections, insurance documentation, and restoration work for homeowners dealing with roof and water damage. We are certified with ITRC for mitigation and water damage restoration, which means we follow industry standards for drying, containment, and repair. We document the damage with photos and measurements, work directly with your insurance adjuster, and complete the repairs once your claim is approved.

If your roof was damaged in a recent storm, reach out to schedule an inspection before water spreads to other parts of your home.

When you call us after a storm, we schedule an inspection to assess visible damage and check for hidden issues such as displaced underlayment or compromised decking. We take detailed photos, measure affected areas, and document every component that needs repair or replacement. This documentation becomes part of your insurance claim and helps the adjuster understand the scope of work.

Once the claim is approved, we remove damaged shingles, replace torn flashing, and repair any decking that has been exposed to water. You will see a watertight roof that matches the existing material and a dry attic with no signs of moisture. If water entered your home, we also dry affected areas using dehumidifiers and air movers to prevent mold growth.

We coordinate directly with your insurance company throughout the process, so you do not have to manage communication between the adjuster and the repair crew. Our certification means we follow protocols for moisture detection, containment, and structural drying that meet industry standards for restoration work. We do not start permanent repairs until all affected areas are confirmed dry and stable.

Most homeowners throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island and Long Island have not filed a roof damage claim before and are not sure what to expect. They want to know how long the process takes, whether they need to pay upfront, and what happens if the insurance company denies part of the claim.

If your home in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island or Long Island was damaged in a recent storm, Gemz Construction can inspect your roof, document the damage, and work with your insurance company to complete repairs. Contact us to schedule an inspection and start the claims process.
