How We Replaced a Torn-Off Roof in Willow Glen

Last December, a customer in Willow Glen called us after a windstorm ripped half their roof off. We had a crew onsite within 2 hours, and the whole project was done in 3 days.

The home was a 1,800 sq ft single-story ranch on Cherry Ave in Willow Glen, built in 1962. The storm had peeled back the southern slope, exposing plywood and soaking the attic. We worked directly with the homeowner's insurance adjuster to document the damage and get the claim approved. We replaced the entire roof with Malarkey Vista shingles (Algae-Resistant, Class 4 impact rating) over new synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys. The old plywood was rotted in two sections, so we replaced those with 5/8" CDX. We also added new ridge vent and baffles to improve attic airflow. The job took three days, and we left the property spotless each evening. The homeowner saved $2,400 on their premium with the Class 4 upgrade and has had zero issues since. We're proud to stand behind that roof with our 10-year workmanship warranty.

Storm Damage FAQs

Common Questions About Storm Damage Repair in San Jose

We've handled hundreds of storm-damaged roofs across the South Bay—from Cupertino to Willow Glen. Here are the answers we hear homeowners ask most often.

How quickly can you respond to a storm damage emergency?

We typically arrive within 24 hours for emergency tarping and inspections. Our team is local—based in San Jose—so we can get to most neighborhoods fast, even after heavy storms.

Does my homeowners insurance cover storm damage roof repair?

Most policies cover wind, hail, and rain damage, but deductibles and exclusions vary. We handle the claims process from start to finish—including documentation and adjuster meetings—so you don't have to fight for what you're owed.

What's the difference between a repair and a full replacement after a storm?

If the damage is isolated—like a few missing shingles or a small leak—we can often repair it. But if the storm compromised large sections, or if your roof is over 15 years old, a replacement may be more cost-effective and safer long-term. We'll walk you through both options with a free estimate.

Can you match my existing roof shingles after a repair?

We carry Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning products, so we can usually match color and style. For older roofs, we'll blend as closely as possible and explain what to expect in terms of appearance.

How much does storm damage repair cost in San Jose?

Costs vary based on damage extent, roof size, and materials. Minor repairs might run a few hundred dollars; major repairs or replacements can be several thousand. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the number before any work starts.

Is it safe to DIY storm damage repairs?

We strongly advise against it. Storm damage can hide structural issues or create fall hazards. Our crew is licensed, bonded, and insured (CA CSLB #1087234)—we have the equipment and training to do the job safely and correctly. Plus, DIY repairs can void your manufacturer warranty.

Do you offer a warranty on storm damage repairs?

Yes—every repair and replacement comes with our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty. We also guarantee a thorough cleanup after every job. You won't find nails in your driveway with us.
