What responsible scope looks like
Methodical, not alarmist.
We review roof planes, soft metals, vents, flashing, gutters, and accessible exterior indicators. The goal is a useful record of roof condition and a construction scope you can understand and compare.
We can document conditions and price the work. Only the insurance carrier and policy determine coverage, depreciation, and payment.
When to request this service
- Missing, creased, or lifted shingles after wind
- New dents on soft metals, vents, or gutters
- Granule loss or bruising consistent with impact
- Exposed decking, displaced flashing, or water entry
- Debris impact or damage at roof edges and penetrations
What the scope includes
Safety and urgent-opening assessment
Overview and detail photos by roof plane
Review of vents, flashing, gutters, and soft metals
Emergency dry-in scope when needed
Written repair or replacement construction options
Meeting coordination when owner-authorized and appropriate
Price transparency
Inspection and emergency-work guidance
Storm-condition consultations are typically complimentary. Emergency tarping, temporary dry-in work, diagnostic testing, and permanent repairs are priced separately after access and scope are understood.
What moves the final number
- Emergency response and material needs
- Roof access and weather conditions
- Area and type of temporary protection
- Repairable versus system-wide damage
- Code, matching, and final material selection
Straight answers
Common questions about storm inspection
Should I sign an agreement before an inspection?
You should understand what any document authorizes before signing. Our initial condition review does not require a same-day construction commitment.
Can you tell me whether insurance will pay?
No contractor can decide policy coverage. We provide condition documentation and a construction scope; the carrier makes coverage decisions.
Do I need to get on the roof after hail?
No. Stay on the ground, photograph visible conditions safely, and use a qualified professional for roof access.
