Can hail damage show up later?
Some issues become more visible over time as granules loosen, bruised areas age, or water begins entering weakened spots. That is why post-storm review is useful.
What roofing materials are common in Oklahoma?
Asphalt shingles are common for Oklahoma homes, but some properties also have metal roofing, flat roofing, modified bitumen, TPO, tile, or specialty systems.
What areas do you inspect besides shingles?
We may check gutters, downspouts, garage doors, roof vents, flashing, metal trim, window screens, siding, fencing, exterior paint, and other visible areas that may show hail or wind damage.
Can roof vents be damaged by hail?
Yes. Roof vents, turbine vents, box vents, pipe jacks, and other metal or plastic components can crack, dent, loosen, or leak after hail and wind.
Do roof inspections include photos?
When possible, photo documentation can help explain visible conditions, damage indicators, repair needs, and areas that may need closer attention.
What happens after I submit the inspection form?

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.
Can roof damage be hard to see from the ground?
Yes. Hail bruising, lifted tabs, cracked seals, flashing problems, and soft metal damage may not be obvious from the yard. A closer inspection is often needed.
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.
