This is a plain-English estimate based on what you tell us — not a coverage determination. Your policy, deductible, and carrier's own adjuster make the final call. We do the documentation either way.

Most homeowners choose a colour off a 12-inch board in a driveway at noon — then see it at dusk and wish they had picked differently. Check yours in all three before you commit. It costs nothing now and everything later.

What Actually Kills a Roof

Six ways a shingle fails, rendered close-up on the same roof so you can compare them honestly. Drag the slider to age it. Not all damage is claimable — and knowing the difference before you call your carrier is worth real money.

Cross-Section

Where the Water Actually Goes

A roof is seven layers, and only the first two are there to keep water out. Pick an entry point and watch it travel. The ceiling stain is the last layer to fail — not the first.

A wind-creased or missing tab. The most common entry point after any storm.

ENTRY Immediately

Shingles

Water gets past a lifted tab, a fastener hole, or a failed seal.

Why this matters for the claim

Insurers pay for sudden damage, not neglect. A leak caught at the deck is a storm claim. The same leak found two years later, after the framing has rotted, gets denied as a maintenance failure — and the bill is yours.

At The Adjuster Meeting

What The Adjuster Actually Looks For

We document all of it before they arrive — so the scope is complete and the approval is full.

Hail Strikes & Bruising

Chalked impact marks, granule loss, and soft bruises tested by hand — the core evidence of functional damage.

Wind Damage Patterns

Creased, lifted, or missing shingles and failed sealant strips in documented wind zones.

Soft Metals

Vents, flashing, gutters, and fascia dents — the collateral evidence that corroborates roof impacts.

Granule Runoff

Gutter accumulation and downspout discharge — proof the shingle surface is actively failing.

Straight Answers

Storm Claim FAQ

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Look for granule loss in gutters, bruised or cracked shingles, and dented soft metals (vents, flashing, gutters). Hail as small as 1 inch (quarter-size) can fracture the shingle mat even without visible holes. If in doubt, we inspect free — no obligation.
Will filing a claim raise my insurance rates?
A single weather-related claim (hail, wind) is typically rated as "not at fault" and does not carry the same rate impact as a liability claim. Rules vary by carrier and state — we walk you through what to expect with your specific policy before you file.
What if the adjuster's estimate is too low?
This is common — initial estimates often miss code-required items, matching shingles, and full slope replacement. We attend the adjuster meeting, document every point of damage, and file a supplemental claim with photo evidence when the scope is incomplete.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential tear-offs and re-decks are completed in a single day, weather permitting. Larger or multi-layer removals may take two days. We schedule fast once your claim is approved.
Do you offer emergency tarping after storm damage?
Yes — 24/7 emergency response for active leaks and exposed decking. We tarp to stop water intrusion the same day, then schedule the full inspection and claim process.
