Why is photo documentation important after a hail storm?
Photos help preserve visible evidence before repairs, more storms, or time make the condition harder to understand. Good documentation can also make conversations with your carrier more organized.
What should I do if my roof claim was denied?
Start by reviewing what was inspected and what was documented. If the first review only focused on shingles, a second opinion may help check for collateral damage and other overlooked storm indicators.
Are you public adjusters?
No. RAFTRx is a roofing company, not a public adjuster. We document visible roof and property damage and help homeowners understand the inspection findings and next steps.

What does RAFTRx mean by whole-property storm damage documentation?
It means we inspect more than just the roof. We also look for visible storm indicators on gutters, downspouts, garage doors, vents, screens, siding, soft metals, fencing, and other exterior surfaces.
How soon after a storm should collateral damage be documented?
Sooner is better. Early documentation helps capture visible damage before repairs, additional storms, oxidation, or normal wear make the evidence harder to interpret.
What areas do you inspect besides shingles?
We may check gutters, downspouts, garage doors, roof vents, flashing, metal trim, window screens, siding, fencing, exterior paint, and other visible areas that may show hail or wind damage.
What if I only need roof repair in Blackwell?
RAFTRx can review repair needs such as missing shingles, leaks, flashing issues, pipe boots, vents, and localized storm damage before recommending the next step.
What should I do if I see missing shingles?
Request a roof inspection soon. Missing shingles can expose underlayment and decking, allowing water intrusion during the next rain.

The inspection request is free and no-obligation. Any repair or replacement work would be discussed separately after the roof condition and scope are reviewed.
Can RAFTRx help after an underpaid roof claim?
RAFTRx can review visible damage and documentation gaps so you better understand what may have been missed. We do not control supplement or claim outcomes, but better documentation can help clarify the conversation.
Why are granules in my gutters important?
Granule loss can expose shingles to faster aging and may indicate hail impact, old shingles, or storm wear. It is one clue that should be reviewed with the overall roof condition.

Share the property address, roof age if known, storm date, photos of leaks or missing shingles, ceiling stains, gutter granules, and any insurance or adjuster details you already have.

Should I get a roof inspection in Blackwell after hail?
Yes. If hail passed through Blackwell, a roof inspection can help document bruised shingles, granule loss, soft metal dents, lifted tabs, damaged vents, and other visible storm indicators before small issues become leaks.
Should I wait for another storm before checking my roof?
No. Waiting can allow minor issues to become bigger leaks. If you suspect roof damage now, it is better to request an inspection and understand the condition.
Do newer roofs get hail damage too?
Yes. Newer roofs can still be damaged by large hail, wind, flying debris, improper installation, or impact to vents, gutters, flashing, and ridge areas.
What if my insurance adjuster already inspected the roof?
You can still request a roofing review if you have questions, disagree with visible findings, or need help understanding the scope and repair options.
