We also flag any pre-existing wear we find during the inspection separately from new storm damage, since insurers distinguish between the two.

Storm damage covers a range of issues — here's what falls under our Storm Damage Roof Repair service.
Hail damage often shows as bruised or missing granules rather than obvious cracks, and it's easy to miss from the ground.
We check shingle tabs and seal lines across the whole roof, not just the visibly missing sections.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
Proper documentation before you file can make the difference between a fast approval and a drawn-out dispute.
Once damage is documented, we move to repair — targeted fixes for isolated damage, full sections where needed.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Describe what happened and what you're seeing, and we'll get an inspection scheduled.
Technicians check every slope, not just the side most visibly affected by the storm.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
We follow up to make sure the repair holds through the next storm season.
They walked us through what was worth claiming and what wasn't, no pressure either way.
