ROOF WIND DAMAGE
Roof Repair Contractor with Wind
Damage Expertise
Wind damage is one of the most common forms of roof damage. It usually occurs during storms or strong gusts of wind. In some cases, it may be paired with water damage or tree damage. If you live in Billings, MT and you’ve recently experienced strong winds at your home, it’s vital to ensure your roof has not been damaged.
If you don’t have experience in the construction or roofing industry, it can be hard to spot and solve this type of issue. At Kirkness Roofing Inc., we help resolve wind damage-related issues in Billings, MT and the surrounding areas. We also provide expertise in hail damage as well as ice dam removal.
Consequences of Wind Damage
While wind damage can impact the appearance of your home, there are more severe, often unseen consequences that must be considered. An unaware homeowner may end up delaying critical roof repair that can result in a series of problems. So, why is it so crucial to tackle wind damage as quickly as possible?
LEAKS
If wind damage causes gaps or holes in your roofing, it can easily result in leaking issues. When water enters your home, mold and mildew may begin to grow. Additionally, water can quickly begin to cause rot in exposed wood. It may also warp other vital components of your house, which can result in lasting structural damage. This result in damages far exceeding the cost of a roof repair.
WEAKENED SHINGLES
In the case of shingles, extreme winds can cause a loss of granules, which exposes the coating to external elements, thereby catalysing the roof’s aging. In severe cases, roofs could suffer cracked or entirely missing shingles, putting your roof in a vulnerable position. This is why it should be repaired by roofing experts as soon as possible, to save the homeowner in the long run.
UV EXPOSURE
You may not realize it, but UV rays can damage specific components of your roof. UV exposure can easily damage some of the materials underneath traditional roofing. This damage can drastically reduce the lifespan of your current roofing, resulting in a costly roofing replacement in the future.

I had a concern about my roof, so I called Kirkness Roofing who had installed it back in 2014. Andy and his son came out the very next day and gave me a free follow up inspection. They were both very knowledgeable and put my mind to rest. … More It’s nice to see a company take care of its customers. Highly recommend them.

During a recent windstorm, part of our roof cap tore off exposing the open area which could allow the environment to gain entry. We contacted our insurance agent and a claim process was initiated. Expecting to be under warranty from the … More prior installer, they came out and said the entire roof needed to be repaired. We again contacted our insurance agent as this seemed to be pretty extreme.
I was then speaking with a friend, and he said maybe get a second opinion to verify the findings of the previous install company. I did and Kirkness was suggested by a couple of people.
Andrew and Zach came out and looked over the roof. There was moderate damage except for the area of wind damage. They did not think a full replacement was the best path to take and suggested repairing the small damage area thus saving us the cost of our deductible.
They returned the following day, made the repair and you can't tell there was any damage. I missed them before they left and when we called Andrew for costs, he said don't worry about it, materials were minimal, and the 40 minutes was a way of saying thanks for calling us to provide service.
This will go a long way if and when I need further assistance with any of my roofing needs. Truly service excellence demonstrated by Andrew, Zach and Kirkness roofing. -
I noticed a stain and a crack in the living room ceiling earlier in the week and knew I needed to find someone local who could diagnose the issue and make the repairs necessary. I called Kirkness Roofing on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly … More surprised at how quickly Andrew, the General Manager came out. I showed him the stain and crack in the ceiling and he quickly found the problem. A rubber boot had split around an HVAC pipe and he was able to fix it right there on the spot. Andrew is one of the nicest people you’ll ever encounter and knows the business. I’m grateful I called him, and I know you will be too.

Kirkness is my roofing company of choice. Emergency repairs, steep roofs, metal, membrane. The work is always perfect and done in a timely manner. I don't know what I'd do without them. They make my job easier and that is … More everything a building manager needs.

When I found a leak in my attic, I researched many local roofers but I’m glad I called Kirkness. They gave me guidance until snow cleared from my roof then Rob went up and resealed a spot he identified as the problem. Rob was honest, quick, … More and definitely earned a customer for life. I highly recommend Kirkness.

Top notch service and delivery. My roof was leaking in several spots and we needed a new one before the winter. It was a small project on a double wide trailer but instead of pushing us off like most other roofing companies, these guys … More made us a priority and got the roof done before the snow fell. Good job guys!

Kirkness has been my roofer of choice for over a decade. They work with your insurer, provide detailed, itemized estimates and are a locally owned business here in Billings and are invested in doing professional, quality work. They can … More handle jobs that require customized fabrication and leave your jobsite absolutely nail-free and tidy. In 2010, after the tornado, when the city was full of out-of-state roofers of all stripes, we knew that relying on local was best and best for Billings. From the office staff to the roof crews, Kirkness is definitely 5 Stars! I wholeheartedly tell you that you're going to be happy with their work and their integrity.

I called Kirkness after realizing our roof was leaking when it rained, into the house. I've never had to deal with such an issue, and am not well educated on roofing. Rob came out on time, which was a HUGE help because I only had limited … More time due to my work schedule to meet with someone at the home. He was kind, considerate, educational and even went the extra mile to caulk/seal some areas of our roof that had flexed due to the age of the home, to see if that would stop the leaking at no charge. I was skeptical, but it stopped the leak and this was after a previous company came out and tried to convince us to submit an insurance claim and replace the roof.
Rob saved us time, money, and from the fear of having a really awful spring. It's rained a few times since and not a drop. Thank you Kirkness for being there quickly and not taking advantage! We will definitely be coming back in the future!
