Storm Damage Roof Repair Fort Wayne, IN

Fort Wayne's Storm Damage Roofing Specialists — We Know the Insurance Process Inside and Out

When a storm rolls through Allen County, the last thing you need is a roofing contractor who leaves you to figure out the insurance process alone. At AJ Roofing & Siding, we've helped Fort Wayne homeowners navigate storm damage claims from the first inspection call all the way through final installation — and we know exactly what it takes to get your claim approved and your roof protected.


Fort Wayne sits in the middle of serious storm country. Hail, 70+ mph winds, ice dams, and heavy snow don't just damage shingles — they expose your home's biggest asset to water intrusion, structural rot, and interior damage that compounds fast. When that happens, you need someone on your side who understands both the roofing side and the insurance side of the equation.


As a CertainTeed Certified ShingleMaster™ and GAF Certified Installer, Amos Kauffman and the AJ Roofing team bring documented, manufacturer-backed credentials that insurance adjusters recognize and respect. We show up to your adjuster meeting, walk the roof with them, and make sure nothing gets missed — because a missed line item on your claim means money out of your pocket.

CertainTeed & GAF — Installed the Right Way, Backed by the Manufacturer

Materials Built for Fort Wayne Weather

We exclusively install CertainTeed and GAF roofing systems — two of the most trusted names in the industry. As a CertainTeed Certified ShingleMaster™ and GAF Certified Installer, every roof we put on is backed by a real manufacturer warranty — not just our word.

Asphalt Shingles

The most popular roofing choice in Fort Wayne for good reason. Durable, cost-effective, and available in dozens of styles and colors — asphalt shingles deliver reliable protection against Indiana's hail, wind, and heavy snow seasons.

Metal Roofing

Built to last 40–70 years, metal roofing is one of the smartest long-term investments a Fort Wayne homeowner can make. Exceptional wind resistance, snow shedding, and energy efficiency — all in one low-maintenance package.

Architectural Shingles

A step above standard asphalt, architectural shingles offer enhanced durability, a dimensional look, and stronger wind resistance. A great option for homeowners who want premium performance without the premium price tag.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

Designed specifically for hail-prone areas like Northeast Indiana. Impact-resistant shingles can qualify you for insurance discounts while giving your roof an extra layer of defense against Fort Wayne's toughest storm seasons.

Underlayment & Decking

A great roof starts beneath the shingles. We use high-quality underlayment and solid decking on every job to protect against moisture, ice dams, and wind-driven rain — the hidden problems that cause the biggest headaches.

Ridge Cap & Ventilation

Proper ridge cap and attic ventilation aren't add-ons — they're essential to your roof's lifespan. We install every system with correct ventilation to prevent heat buildup, moisture damage, and premature shingle wear.

When a hail event or high-wind storm hits Allen County, you need a certified contractor on your roof fast — not an out-of-state storm chaser who disappears after the check clears. We inspect, document, and walk you through the entire insurance claim process from first call to final installation.

Water Is In. Every Hour Counts.

A leaking roof isn't just an inconvenience — it's a ticking clock. The longer water sits, the more damage spreads to your decking, insulation, and ceilings. We respond quickly, stop the problem, and get your home protected fast.

Storm Damage FAQs

Quick answers to what Fort Wayne homeowners ask most often. Don't see your question? Call us at 260-529-6060.

  • How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

    Not all storm damage is visible from the ground. Missing shingles and obvious leaks are easy to spot — but hail damage, cracked shingles, and damaged flashing often go unnoticed until water gets in. That's why we recommend a free professional inspection after every major storm in Allen County. We document everything with photos so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

  • Will filing a roof insurance claim raise my rates?

    This is one of the most common concerns we hear — and the answer depends on your policy and provider. What we can tell you is that storm damage is considered a covered weather event, not a fault claim, and most homeowners are entitled to file without penalty. We recommend calling your agent to understand your specific policy before making a decision.

  • Do I need to be home for the inspection?

    No — but we do recommend it. Being present allows us to walk you through what we find in real time, answer your questions on the spot, and make sure you have a clear picture of the damage before we ever talk about next steps.

  • How long does a storm damage roof replacement take?

    Most residential roof replacements in Fort Wayne are completed in one day. We show up with a full crew, use an Equipter to protect your yard and gutters during tear-off, and leave your property clean when we're done.

  • What makes AJ Roofing different from other storm damage contractors?

    We're not out-of-state storm chasers who show up after a hail event and disappear six months later. Amos Kauffman has been roofing since he was 18 years old — and AJ Roofing is a licensed, locally rooted Fort Wayne company. Our CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ and GAF certifications mean your roof comes with real manufacturer-backed warranties, and we'll be here in 10 years when you need us.
