Storm Damage Help in Little Rock

Why Partner with Us

Founded in 2017 by siblings Billy Hargrove and Mae Hargrove O’Brien, Hargrove Roofing - Little Rock was built on accountability, transparency, and clear communication. With experience in architecture, construction, and academia, they created a roofing company that prioritizes organization and clarity throughout every project.

Being family-owned shapes how we interact with property owners across Little Rock. Every project has a clearly defined team so communication stays direct and expectations remain aligned from start to finish. Our mission is simple: "Good Communication Leads to Great Quality."

Our Approach

Every storm damage project begins with a thorough inspection. We evaluate the roof surface, edges, flashing, penetrations, and drainage areas to understand the overall impact of the storm. This allows us to identify both immediate damage and vulnerabilities that could cause issues later.

Our team documents findings, making it easy for property owners to see exactly what we observe. After the inspection, we review the results in plain language, explaining how the damage affects repair options and timing. This step-by-step approach helps property owners feel informed and confident in the process.

Common Types of Storm Damage We See

Storm damage varies depending on the weather and the roofing material. 

In Little Rock, we frequently encounter:

• Wind-related movement. High winds can lift shingles or metal panels, breaking the factory seals and exposing fasteners to rust and water entry.
• Hail impact. Hail leaves dents, fractures, or significant granule loss. In Little Rock, hail can be subtle, weakening the roof’s outer layer long before a leak appears.
• Heavy water intrusion. Intense rain often reveals drainage problems or vulnerabilities around vents, chimneys, and roof edges where seals may have failed.
• Debris impact. Falling oak branches and wind-blown objects can strike the roof surface or clog drainage paths, affecting how water sheds during future storms.

Signs Your Roof May Have Damage

Not all storm damage is immediately visible. 

Some warning signs appear days or weeks after a storm:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Damp insulation or musty odors
• Missing, curled, or damaged shingles
• Exposed flashing or granule buildup in gutters
• Sagging roof sections or changes around vents and roof penetrations
• Unusual noises during wind or rain

Professional inspections connect these signs to their causes, helping determine whether repairs are necessary.

What to Do First in a Roofing Emergency 

If a storm has caused immediate and severe damage to your roof, taking the right steps in the first few hours can prevent thousands of dollars in additional interior damage. Your first priority should always be safety; never attempt to climb onto a wet or wind-damaged roof yourself, as structural integrity may be compromised.

If you have an active leak, move furniture and valuables away from the affected area and use buckets to contain dripping water. Take photos of the interior damage for your insurance records, but do not attempt to mitigate the roof damage from the outside. Instead, call a professional for emergency stabilization. Our team is available to provide professional tarping and temporary dry-in services, which safely secures your home until the weather clears and permanent repairs can be made. Taking these proactive steps helps stabilize your environment while ensuring your insurance claim remains valid.
