- Shingles or metal displaced after wind
- Impact marks or damaged roof accessories
- New interior water after a documented storm
- Debris, branches or flashing movement visible from the ground
AFTER WIND, HAIL OR HEAVY WEATHER
Document storm observations before choosing a roofing scope.
Record safe, time-stamped observations and compare inspection findings without treating a contractor’s opinion as an insurance decision.
FIRST SAFE STEP
Protect people and organize the visible facts.
Leave the area for electrical danger, falling material, structural movement or active flooding. Photograph only from safe ground or interior locations and protect property without making dangerous temporary repairs.
- Date and type of weather event
- Safe photo record by elevation and interior area
- Emergency protection performed and by whom
- Repairable areas versus replacement evidence
Four questions to ask every provider
01
Which observations are documented versus inferred?
02
What immediate work prevents further damage?
03
What does the proposal include if coverage differs?
04
Who owns permits, supplements and final payment decisions?
No online diagnosis.
A qualified provider must inspect the property, confirm the roof assembly and cause, define the work, explain permits and warranties, and price the actual conditions.
