Repair the Damage Before It Gets Worse

Ruby Construction repairs roofs and exteriors damaged by storms and hail in Kansas City.

Hail does not always leave obvious holes in your roof. Sometimes the damage shows up as bruising on shingles, small dents in flashing, or cracks in sealant that let water seep in slowly over time. Kansas City regularly experiences storms that can shorten roof lifespan without visible signs from the ground. Wind lifts shingle edges, hail fractures protective granules, and driving rain finds every weak point in your roof and siding. By the time you notice interior damage, the exterior has usually been compromised for weeks or months.

Ruby Construction specializes in repairing roofs and exteriors damaged by hail, wind, and severe storms across Kansas City. The service includes thorough inspections to document damage accurately and address roofing, siding, gutters, and related exterior components before they fail completely. Acting quickly after a storm helps you avoid insurance claim delays and prevents minor damage from spreading into structural problems that cost far more to fix later.

If your Kansas City home was in the path of a recent storm, schedule an inspection with Ruby Construction to document any damage and determine what repairs are needed before filing a claim.

What a Storm Damage Inspection Covers

The inspection begins with a close look at your roof in Kansas City, checking for hail impacts, missing shingles, damaged flashing, and compromised sealant. Ruby Construction also examines siding for cracks and dents, gutters for detachment or denting, and fascia or soffit for wind damage. Photos and measurements are taken to document the extent of the damage for your records and insurance provider.

Once repairs are completed, you will notice that leaks stop, drafts around windows disappear, and your home's exterior looks uniform again without patched-over sections that stand out. Kansas City regularly experiences storms that can shorten roof lifespan without visible signs. Ruby Construction is familiar with regional storm patterns and insurance requirements, so the inspection covers what adjusters look for and ensures nothing is missed that could affect your claim approval.

Repairs may involve replacing sections of roofing, re-fastening or replacing siding panels, resealing flashing, and addressing gutter damage that prevents proper drainage. The timeline depends on the scope of damage and material availability, but most residential storm repairs are completed within a few days once materials arrive. This service does not include interior repairs to drywall or insulation, though Ruby Construction coordinates with other contractors if those needs arise during the project.

You Should Know What to Look For

Homeowners often ask how to tell if damage is severe enough to file a claim, how quickly repairs should happen, and what the inspection process involves.

How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection?
You should schedule an inspection within a few days of a major storm to document damage before it worsens. Kansas City weather can cause additional wear quickly, and insurance companies often require timely reporting.
What does hail damage look like on a roof?
Hail damage appears as dark spots where granules are knocked off, dents in metal flashing or vents, and cracks in shingles that expose the underlying material. Some damage is only visible up close, which is why a professional inspection matters.
Will my insurance cover storm damage repairs?
Most homeowner policies cover sudden storm damage, but coverage depends on your deductible and policy terms. Ruby Construction helps document damage clearly so your claim has the best chance of approval.
Can I wait to repair storm damage?
Waiting allows water to enter your home, which leads to mold, rot, and insulation damage that your insurance may not cover if you delay too long. Ruby Construction encourages prompt inspections after major weather events.
What if the damage is not visible from the ground?
Much of the damage from Kansas City storms happens on roof surfaces and under shingle edges where you cannot see it without climbing up. Ruby Construction inspects your roof safely and thoroughly to find hidden issues.

If your Kansas City home was affected by a recent storm and you are unsure whether the damage warrants a claim, Ruby Construction can inspect your property, document what needs repair, and explain your options before you move forward with insurance or out-of-pocket repairs.
