What we look for
Hail leaves round bruises where the granules are knocked off and the mat underneath is exposed. Wind lifts shingles and breaks the seal strip even when nothing is visibly missing.
We also check the soft metals, gutters, vents and flashing, because those often show hail impact more clearly than the shingles do.
Documentation your adjuster can use
We photograph everything and put it in a format that supports a claim. Vague damage reports get claims denied.
We help homeowners through the adjuster process regularly. We are not public adjusters and we do not negotiate on your behalf, but we make sure the damage is properly documented and we will be there to walk the roof with your adjuster.
Move quickly, but not in a panic
Most policies require you to report damage within a set window, so get the roof looked at soon after a storm.
Be wary of crews that show up door to door the day after a storm from three counties away. Ask where their shop is and how long they have been there.
