Do you guarantee my insurance will pay for a new roof?
No. No roofer should guarantee an insurance outcome. RAFTRx focuses on careful inspection, honest guidance, and better documentation.

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.

Screens and siding can show storm impact, tears, chips, dents, or wind-related damage. Those details may support a whole-property storm review.
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.
