Hail bruising, wind-torn shingles and flashing damage after a storm, photographed and documented the way your insurer needs to see it.
Most of these aren't visible from the ground — this is what the inspection is checking for.
Hail knocks the protective granule layer off the shingle mat — it collects in the gutters and downspouts after a storm.
Often invisible from the ground. Hail bruising shows on close inspection as soft, circular impact marks.
Wind gets under the tab edge and creases or tears it, even when the shingle hasn't come off entirely.
Vents, flashing and gutters dent more easily than shingles — a good early indicator that the roof took a hit too.
Branches and wind-blown debris can puncture the shingle mat directly, not just bruise it.
We support the claim with honest documentation. We don't decide it, and we don't inflate it to get one approved.
Same crew, same written estimate, no travel surcharge anywhere in the city.
Most policies cover sudden damage from a specific storm event — hail or wind, typically. They generally don't cover a roof that simply wore out over time. Coverage is always the insurer's decision; we document the damage so you have what they need to evaluate it.
No. We document what's actually there, photograph it, and write a plain cause-of-loss report. An honest report holds up under an adjuster's review — an inflated one gets a claim denied.
Yes, if you'd like us there. Walking the roof together and pointing to documented damage points is usually the most efficient way to move a claim along.
Sooner is better, mainly so damage is documented before it's obscured by more weather — but there's no hard deadline. What matters is getting it inspected and photographed before repairs start.
