April 22, 2025
Roofing | Siding | Storm Damage Reports

On April 19, 2025, a fierce storm ripped through Hagerstown, Maryland, delivering straight-line winds that reached a staggering 81 miles per hour. In just a matter of hours, the landscape changed—hundreds of trees were downed, power lines tangled across roadways, and entire roofs were torn off, leaving several buildings uninhabitable until major repairs are made.

A City Shaken

This wasn’t your average spring storm. It was the kind of wind event that tests the limits of every structure in its path. Across Hagerstown, the damage was easy to see. Trees snapped like matchsticks. Side streets were blocked by branches and debris. Neighborhoods sat in the dark for days, waiting for crews to untangle power lines and restore service.

Several buildings took the brunt of the storm. We witnessed firsthand a few roofs that were completely blown off, exposing interiors to the elements. These properties were quickly deemed unsafe and will remain condemned until repairs are complete.

This is the kind of damage that changes how people feel about the security of their homes.

Not All Damage Is Visible

Even if your property looks okay from the sidewalk, high winds like this can cause hidden storm damage—dislodged shingles, punctured roofing, cracked siding, or gutters that have pulled away from the structure. If these issues go unnoticed, they can lead to leaks, interior water damage, and much more.

The good news is, taking action now can help you stay ahead of those problems.
