What makes RAFTRx different from a regular roofing company?
RAFTRx combines roofing inspection with an insurance-focused documentation mindset. We look for storm evidence across the entire property, not just on the roof.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It depends on the property and inspection type. Exterior-only reviews may be simpler, but interior leaks, attic concerns, locked gates, and pets may require access or coordination.
Can downspouts show hail damage?
Yes. Downspouts often show dents from hail impact, especially on exposed sides of the property. RAFTRx checks them during collateral damage inspections.
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.
Will RAFTRx meet with my adjuster?
