Contractor Fixes High Wind & Tornado Roof Damage After Twisters Tear Through Montgomery County, Alabama, on November 29, 2022.
Commercial Roofing & Restoration
Deadly twisters charged across Montgomery County, AL, bringing high winds and widespread property damage, requiring emergency roof repair and restoration services on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. Residents woke Wednesday morning to disaster zones from winds that topped 110 mph.
RestoreMasters dispatched repair crews and commercial roof inspection services to help property owners assess losses. Owners who suffered obvious damage and those concerned their property may have been compromised can call the roof repair office in Birmingham, AL, for assistance.
“The National Weather Service Office in Birmingham classified the storm as an EF-2 tornado with winds estimated at 115 miles per hour. NWS said the tornado touched down about 3 a.m. Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Christina Thornton said heavy rescue efforts are going on in the area and portions of Lower Wetumpka Road are closed to U.S. 231,” according to the Montgomery Advisor. “Several homes and other buildings have received ‘substantial’ damage, she said. Residents in the Flatwood community reported losing roofs, patios and shingles on their homes. The storm also caused widespread damage in south Elmore County along Rifle Range Road and in the Redland area.”
Montgomery County commercial, agricultural, and institutional building owners are advised to request a complimentary roof inspection. High winds and the vacuum force created by twisters pull, push, and lift roofing systems. Even if they are not showing immediate signs of roof wind damage, leaks will eventually present. A timely commercial roof inspection documents the effects of the catastrophic weather event to support an insurance claim.
A local map of the tornado in Montgomery County shows a black streak north of the metro area, cutting a path from west to east. The twister stretches from the Boylston, trekking northeast across Blue Ridge and beyond Wetumpka, toward Burlington along Highway 14.

Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.
Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.
Roof damage can be severe or mild, depending on various factors which include: materials used on the roof, impact of debris, building height and proximity to other buildings, age, angle and shape of the roof and type of roofing.
After a severe storm of hail or high winds, it is important to get your roof inspected, and have a property damage assessment report so that you can learn whether you have damage to your roofing system.
Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.
Rather than believing your roof is not damaged, if your property is anywhere in the area of the storm damage map, then you will want to get your roof inspected.
Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.
And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
