Why inspect screens and siding during a roof inspection?
Screens and siding can show storm impact, tears, chips, dents, or wind-related damage. Those details may support a whole-property storm review.
Do I need a roof inspection if my roof is not leaking?
Yes, a roof can have storm damage or wear before an active leak appears. An inspection helps identify visible issues early, especially after hail or high winds.
Can hail damage show up on garage doors?
Yes. Metal garage doors can show dents or impact marks from hail. Those marks may be part of the property-wide documentation after a storm.
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.
Will RAFTRx meet with my adjuster?
Availability may depend on schedule and location. RAFTRx can discuss inspection findings with you and help organize documentation before or after an adjuster visit.
What should I send RAFTRx before a second-opinion inspection?

How do I prepare for a roof inspection?
Clear driveway access, secure pets, share leak locations, gather storm dates if known, and make sure someone is available if interior areas need to be shown.

Collateral damage is storm damage outside the roof itself, such as dents on gutters, garage doors, downspouts, metal vents, screens, siding, trim, fencing, or other exposed exterior areas.
What should I show RAFTRx when requesting help in Bradley?
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.

Can you give me documentation to show my insurance company?
RAFTRx can provide inspection findings, photos, notes, and roofing recommendations. The exact format may vary by inspection, and insurance decisions remain with the carrier.
Can hail damage show up later?

Can RAFTRx inspect roofs after heavy rain?
Yes, heavy rain can reveal leaks around valleys, flashing, vents, skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations that were not obvious during dry weather.
How long does a roof inspection usually take?
Many roof inspections are fairly quick, but timing depends on roof size, slope, access, damage concerns, and whether interior leak areas also need to be reviewed.

Yes. Use the form to describe your concern and RAFTRx can follow up about the best inspection or estimate option for your roof.
What if my roof is too steep or unsafe to walk?
Safety comes first. Depending on the roof, inspection may involve ground review, ladder access, drone/photo options, or another safe documentation method.
Do you check gutters during a storm damage inspection?
Gutters, downspouts, and soft metals can be reviewed for dents, separation, granule buildup, and water-flow issues that may relate to storm activity or roof wear.
Do older roofs need more frequent inspections?
Often, yes. Older shingles may be more vulnerable to wind, hail, heat, granule loss, cracking, and leaks, so periodic review is useful.
Can small roof leaks become expensive?
Yes. Small leaks can damage decking, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical areas, and interior finishes if they are not addressed.
