Document wind indicators fast with a repeatable, field-ready checklist.

Use this checklist each time you evaluate possible wind damage to structures. It prompts for site conditions, membrane systems, shingles, cladding, and common failure indicators so your documentation is consistent and complete.
What's Inside

What to check and document in the order you’ll see it on-site

This checklist is organized to match real site workflow, from surrounding conditions to roof and cladding details, so you can move faster on-site without sacrificing documentation quality.
‍

Site conditions: Neighborhood damage patterns, downed limbs/uprooted trees, and whether large outdoor items were affected

Structures: Missing cladding, windborne debris impacts, cracking/separation at eaves and wall-to-ceiling interfaces, window/door damage, and potential movement at the foundation interface

Membrane systems: Edge metal attachment, tenting at parapets, deformation at penetrations, and tears from debris impacts

Asphalt shingles: Sealed vs unsealed at eaves, creasing/tears/displacement, slope-to-slope consistency, oxidation/presentation of exposed bitumen, and whether pattern matches wind regions (eave/rake/ridge/valley)

Wood shakes/shingles: Fastener deterioration, erosion, prior repairs, missing materials at high-wind regions, and whether damage aligns with prior roof access

Cladding components: Debris impacts, corner-initiated detachment/displacement, vertical cracking patterns, and fastener depth checks for wavy siding

Structural context: Finishes often crack before studs/roof framing/foundation are damaged

Why this checklist exists

Wind damage can be misread without a consistent process

Wind indicators can be localized, pattern-based, or confused with installation issues and prior conditions. This checklist gives you a repeatable on-site sequence so you capture the context, photograph the right details, and reduce missed observations.
