What if I see a ceiling stain but no roof damage?
A ceiling stain can come from roof leaks, plumbing, HVAC, condensation, or flashing issues. A roof inspection helps rule in or rule out roof-related causes.
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.
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 should I send RAFTRx before a second-opinion inspection?
Helpful items include the claim decision letter, scope if available, date of loss, storm date, photos, videos, leak photos, and notes about what the previous roofer or adjuster inspected.

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.
Is a free roof inspection really free?
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.
Are soft metal dents important during hail inspections?
Dents on gutters, vents, flashing, and other soft metals can help confirm hail impact around the property, but the shingles and full roof system still need to be reviewed.
What if I have damage to gutters and roof?
Gutters and roofing often need to be reviewed together after hail or wind because both can show storm impact and both affect water control around the home.
What happens after I submit the inspection form?
RAFTRx will review your request, contact you about the property and roof concern, and help determine the best next step for inspection, repair, documentation, or estimate.
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.
Do former insurance agents make better roof inspectors?
Insurance background can help with documentation mindset. RAFTRx uses that perspective to look for the types of evidence, patterns, and property-wide details that are often important after a storm.
What should I show RAFTRx when requesting help in Cement?

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.
Does hail damage always mean I need a full roof replacement?
Not always. Some roofs need repair, some need monitoring, and some may justify replacement depending on the amount, location, age, and severity of damage.
What is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate?
A roof inspection focuses on condition and visible issues. A roof estimate focuses on projected repair or replacement scope and pricing after the roof has been reviewed.
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.
Why inspect screens and siding during a roof inspection?

Why do some roofers miss storm damage evidence?
Some roofers focus almost entirely on shingles. RAFTRx looks at the roof and the surrounding property because the evidence is often beyond the roof.
