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.
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.
Do you inspect commercial roofs too?
Yes. RAFTRx can review commercial roofing concerns, leaks, storm damage, maintenance needs, and replacement planning depending on the building and roof type.
Should I get a roof inspection in Chandler after hail?
Yes. If hail passed through Chandler, 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.
Can I submit photos before scheduling?
Yes. Photos of roof damage, ceiling stains, gutters, shingles, and storm evidence can help RAFTRx understand your concern before the inspection.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What does RAFTRx document during a storm inspection?
We document roof concerns, visible hail or wind indicators, collateral damage, photos, notes, and homeowner concerns so the inspection is organized and easier to understand.
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.
Can RAFTRx help after a recent hail storm in Chandler?
Yes. RAFTRx can help Chandler homeowners review possible hail damage, storm exposure, roof leaks, missing shingles, and replacement or repair questions.
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.
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.
What is cleanup business in roofing?
In roofing, cleanup business often refers to prior denied, underpaid, or poorly documented claims where another contractor did not capture enough evidence. RAFTRx helps by taking a more complete look.
Is a roof estimate the same as an insurance claim estimate?
No. A contractor estimate explains repair or replacement scope and cost. An insurance estimate is issued by the insurance company or adjuster under your policy terms.
Can a roof replacement improve curb appeal?
Yes. A new roofing system can improve curb appeal, ventilation, leak protection, resale confidence, and overall home appearance when replacement is appropriate.
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.
Do you help with previously denied roof claims?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a second-opinion inspection focused on roof damage, collateral damage, photos, and organized documentation. We cannot guarantee a claim decision, but we can help identify evidence that may have been missed.
Can a roof inspection include attic signs?
If attic access is available and safe, checking for water stains, daylight, wet insulation, or ventilation issues can help understand leak sources.
Why does RAFTRx say the storm hit more than your roof?
Because hail and wind often leave signs across the property. Gutters, garage doors, downspouts, screens, vents, and soft metals may show visible evidence even when roof damage is harder to understand.
Can RAFTRx reopen my denied insurance claim?
RAFTRx does not control insurance claim decisions and does not guarantee reopening or approval. We can inspect the property, document visible storm evidence, and help you understand what may have been missed.
