Owings Mills Roof Replacement Repairs Severe Tree Damage After Winter Storm

This Owings Mills Roof Replacement Repairs Severe Tree Damage After Winter Storm project involved rebuilding major sections of this ranch-style home after a nearby tree collapsed onto the roof during a winter storm. After performing a full storm damage inspection, the Roof Right team identified significant structural and roofing damage before completing a full roof replacement featuring CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Burnt Sienna along with upgraded Velux skylights.

Owings Mills Roof Replacement: Project Overview

Located in a heavily wooded area, this Owings Mills home experienced severe roof damage when a nearby tree buckled during a winter storm and crashed directly onto the house. By the time our team arrived to perform a storm damage inspection, the roof had sustained multiple punctures, fractures, and structural failures across several sections of the home.

In addition to the visible exterior damage, the impact had compromised portions of the roof decking and supporting framing beneath the shingles. Split support beams and broken decking panels created vulnerabilities that extended far beyond what could be seen from the ground.

Storm-related tree damage can often leave homeowners overwhelmed, especially when structural repairs and insurance claims are involved at the same time. In situations like this, Roof Right works directly alongside homeowners during the insurance process to help document damage and simplify the restoration process from inspection through completion.

Structural Repairs & Roof System Replacement

Before the new roofing system could be installed, our crew first focused on rebuilding the damaged roof structure itself. Large sections of roof decking had to be removed and replaced, along with several compromised support beams that were damaged during the tree impact.

Once the framing and decking repairs were completed, new plywood sheathing was installed to restore a stable and secure foundation for the roofing system. From there, our team installed Ice and Water Shield in vulnerable areas of the roof followed by synthetic underlayment across the remaining surface to improve long-term moisture protection.

Compared to older roofing felt, synthetic underlayment provides improved durability and weather resistance, especially during severe storms and changing seasonal conditions common throughout Maryland.

Velux Skylight Upgrades

As part of the roof replacement, our team also replaced multiple older skylights with new Velux skylight systems. Skylights are often vulnerable during major storm impacts, and replacing aging units during a roof replacement can help prevent future leak issues around roof penetrations.

The new Velux skylights also introduced several modern comfort and energy-efficiency upgrades to the home, including integrated solar blinds designed to help regulate interior lighting and heat gain throughout the year.

Replacing skylights during a roof replacement project also allows flashing systems to be fully integrated with the new roofing materials, creating a more reliable waterproof seal around the openings.

CertainTeed Landmark Burnt Sienna Shingles

To complete the project, the homeowners selected CertainTeed Landmark shingles in the Burnt Sienna color. The warm dimensional tones of Burnt Sienna paired especially well with the wooded surroundings and gave the ranch home a refreshed appearance after the extensive storm damage repairs.

Landmark shingles are designed to provide dependable long-term protection while also improving curb appeal through dimensional shadow lines and blended color definition. The finished roof completely transformed the appearance of the home while restoring confidence in the structure after a stressful storm event.

Signs Your Roof May Have Hidden Storm Damage

After severe storms or fallen tree impacts, homeowners should watch for warning signs such as:

• Missing or fractured shingles
• Sagging roof sections
• Interior water staining
• Visible punctures or dents
• Split framing or decking
• Damaged skylights
• Debris accumulation on the roof
• New leaks appearing after storms

In many cases, structural damage may not be fully visible until a professional inspection is completed.
