We also flag any pre-existing wear we find during the inspection separately from new storm damage, since insurers distinguish between the two.
Hail and wind damage isn't always visible from the driveway — our Storm Damage Roof Repair inspections check every slope, not just what's easy to see.

Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Margate City storm event includes.
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.
Debris removal and structural assessment happen together, not as two separate visits.
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.
Photo documentation and a written quote are provided in the same visit.
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.
