This was the second house I have had re-roofed by NuShake and each time they have exceeded my expectations. The office staff is amazing and the workers are so professional. My roof looks amazing, they were clean and communicated well with me every step of the way. Couldn’t be happier.

What customers say
4.5 stars across 107 Google reviews.
During a heavy rainstorm, discovered the roof was leaking badly. It was impossible to find a roofing contractor. My neighbors recommended someone who was non-responsive. The pro desk at Home Depot recommended NuShake. They were very responsive, came out within a couple of days, arranged the work quickly, did it reasonably and professionally and were a pleasure to work with.
These people are the best of the best. I am very critical and picky when it comes to having work done at my home, letting strangers in, etc. This group blew me away. It’s a multi-step process, and the salesperson, the 5–6 crew members who worked on it, the office staff — all were upbeat, smart, friendly, respectful. They made it fun even.
Why Central Valley storms hit older roofs harder
Central Valley roofs take a beating before any storm arrives. Summer heat in Stockton, Manteca, and Modesto often tops 100°F, and that heat dries out asphalt shingles (the roof's protective top layer) a little more each year. When a winter wind event hits, those brittle shingles crack and lift far more easily. Tule-fog winters then keep roofs damp for weeks, so a small storm opening can turn into a real leak. Valley dust and orchard debris also pile up in gutters and roof valleys, holding water right where wind-driven rain gets in.
Signs of storm damage on your roof
After a wind, hail, or debris event, most damage shows up from the ground or a quick attic check. Walk your yard and look up. Here is what to watch for, and why it matters.
| Missing, lifted, or curled shingles. Wind breaks the seal strip that holds each shingle down. Once that seal lets go, tabs flap, tear, and blow off. |
| Cracked shingles and granule loss. Check your gutters and downspout splash areas for piles of granules — the sandpaper-like grit that shields the asphalt below. Bare black patches on the shingles point to hail or impact. |
| Dented or displaced flashing, vents, and ridge caps. The metal around chimneys, valleys, and pipe boots dents under hail and lifts in high wind. That metal is what keeps water out at the seams. |
| Debris impact. Look for fallen branches, blown-in roof or fence pieces, and punctures from windborne objects. Even a small puncture opens a path for water. |
| Interior signs. Water stains or discoloration on ceilings and upper walls, damp attic sheathing (the wood deck under the shingles), or active drips during the next rain all signal a roof that is letting water in. |
Not sure what you are looking at? NuShake's free estimate walks the storm-related areas. For an adjuster-ready written photo report you and your adjuster can both use, our documented inspection is $349 in the Central Valley or $525 in the Bay Area. Call (209) 253-0506.
The insurance claim process, step by step
Filing a storm claim is less stressful when you know the order of operations. Here is how it usually goes, and where NuShake supports you at each step.
| Document the damage. Take dated, close-up photos before anything is touched. NuShake's free estimate walks the storm-related areas; for an adjuster-ready written photo report you can hand straight to your carrier, our documented inspection is $349 in the Central Valley or $525 in the Bay Area. |
| Emergency tarp or temporary protection. Stop further water from getting in, fast. NuShake can tarp the roof so secondary damage does not grow. Most policies make this mitigation the homeowner's duty. |
| File the claim. Call your carrier and open a claim number. NuShake's documentation gives you the specifics to report. |
| Meet the adjuster. Your carrier sends an adjuster to inspect the roof. Have our written photo report on hand for the visit; we talk with the adjuster directly by phone and email. |
| Agree on the scope of loss. The carrier and contractor line up on what is covered and the repair scope. NuShake provides a written scope of loss in a format adjusters work with. |
| Repair or replace. Once the claim is approved, NuShake completes the work with manufacturer-certified workmanship. |
| Final inspection and closeout. Confirm the work, submit the final documentation, and release any remaining claim payment. |
Financing is available through Service Finance for any out-of-pocket portion.
What storm insurance typically covers — and what it doesn't
Coverage comes down to one idea. Sudden, accidental storm damage is usually covered. Gradual decline is not.
Usually covered
- Sudden wind damage — lifted or torn shingles, blown-off sections
- Hail impact and bruising
- Fallen trees and large branches
- Windborne debris punctures
- Interior water damage from a sudden opening in the roof
Usually NOT covered
- Age and general wear-and-tear
- Deferred or neglected maintenance
- Pre-existing damage that predates the storm
- Roofs already at end of life — your carrier may pay only the storm-related portion
Every policy is different. Deductibles, roof-age limits, and actual-cash-value versus replacement-cost terms all vary, so check your declarations page. NuShake documents only what is genuinely storm-related — honest, accurate, no inflated claims.

Frequently asked questions — storm damage roof repair
Most California homeowners policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, fallen trees, and severe weather. Gradual deterioration and maintenance-related wear are typically not covered. Wind-lifted shingles, hail impact, fallen branches, and debris damage are among the most common covered losses. Our team documents all damage with dated photographs before any work begins.
Yes. We've worked on claims with State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, AAA and other insurers. Your claim stays between you and your insurance company: NuShake gives you dated photo documentation and a written scope of loss, and we talk with your adjuster directly by phone and email.
Common signs include granules collecting in gutters or on the ground, missing or lifted shingles, dented or cracked shingles from hail, lifted ridge caps, and water stains inside your attic or ceilings.

Call with an active leak during office hours and we fix or tarp it the same day (the Bay Area is booked by route; we don't do repairs in Sacramento or Elk Grove). Permanent repair is scheduled once you approve the written estimate, or once adjuster approval comes through for insurance-claim work. We keep you updated at each stage and do not leave you tarped without communication.
Gradual deterioration, normal wear and tear, maintenance issues, and pre-existing damage are typically excluded. If your roof was already near end of life before the storm, your carrier may only pay for the storm-related portion. We document what we find honestly and accurately — no inflated claims.
