On 3-7-26, parts of Shreveport and Bossier City experienced Hail and High Winds, with reports of pea size hail and wind speeds reaching 60 mph.
If your property was in the affected area, a documented roof inspection is the responsible first step before contacting your insurance carrier.
Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. A professional evaluation provides clarity before small issues develop into larger problems.
Severe weather can compromise roofing systems in ways that are not immediately obvious. Hail impact, lifted shingles, flashing displacement, and granule loss can weaken your roof’s ability to protect your home — sometimes without causing an immediate leak.
At Iron Peak Roofing, we provide thorough storm damage inspections designed to give homeowners clear, documented answers.
We do not rely on assumptions.
We inspect, document, and advise responsibly.
After a significant storm event, you may notice:
Missing or displaced shingles
Creased or lifted shingle tabs
Granule loss or impact marks
Damaged ridge caps
Bent or loosened flashing
Debris accumulation
Interior water stains or ceiling discoloration
However, many forms of hail or wind damage require close inspection to confirm.
Perform a visual inspection from the ground only.
Document any visible debris or exterior damage.
Schedule a professional roof inspection.
Avoid signing contracts before damage is verified.
After major storm events, out-of-area contractors often canvass neighborhoods offering quick inspections and immediate contracts. Take the time to work with a local company committed to long-term accountability and proper installation standards.
We carefully inspect:
Roofing surface and shingles
Flashing and penetrations
Ridge caps and ventilation components
Valleys and transitions
Underlying decking when necessary
We photograph and document findings so you understand the condition of your roof clearly.
Not every storm results in qualifying insurance damage.
If damage justifies filing a claim, we will explain why.
If repair or monitoring is more appropriate, we will say so.
We do not encourage claim filings unless damage warrants it.
If qualifying damage is present, we can assist throughout the claim process by:
Meeting with your insurance adjuster
Reviewing the carrier’s scope of work
Providing supplement documentation when appropriate
Installing your roof to higher standards once approved

Storm events often bring temporary contractors into the area.
When evaluating roofing companies after a storm, consider:
Do they have a permanent local presence?
Are they licensed and insured?
Will they be available if warranty support is needed later?
Do they build to standards that exceed code requirements?
Iron Peak Roofing is committed to long-term service and long-term performance.
Our name — and our people — are on every roof we build.
As soon as conditions are safe. Early documentation can help identify qualifying damage and prevent further deterioration.
Not always. Some impact damage is subtle and requires close inspection to confirm.
It is often wise to have a professional inspection first so you understand whether damage justifies filing a claim.
Premium impacts vary by carrier and policy. We recommend understanding your policy before filing unnecessarily.
Coverage depends on policy language, extent of damage, and whether repairs would compromise performance or matching.
Storm damage is stressful. The response should not be.
A disciplined inspection, responsible guidance, and quality installation protect your home long after the storm has passed.
If your property in Shreveport, Bossier City, or the surrounding area has experienced recent severe weather, begin with a thorough inspection.
