Do you inspect commercial roofs too?

Can I request help for rental or investment property in Hollis?

Do you answer questions before I book?

How soon should I request a hail damage roof inspection in Hollis?
It is smart to request an inspection soon after the storm, especially if you see granules, missing shingles, dents on gutters, or new ceiling stains. Early documentation can help you understand the condition of the roof before more weather arrives.
Can small roof leaks become expensive?
Yes. Small leaks can damage decking, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical areas, and interior finishes if they are not addressed.
What if my insurance adjuster already inspected the roof?
You can still request a roofing review if you have questions, disagree with visible findings, or need help understanding the scope and repair options.
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.
Should I get a roof inspection in Hollis after hail?
Yes. If hail passed through Hollis, 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.
Why is photo documentation important after a hail storm?
Photos help preserve visible evidence before repairs, more storms, or time make the condition harder to understand. Good documentation can also make conversations with your carrier more organized.
Can wind damage shingles even if there was no hail?
Yes. High winds can lift, crease, loosen, or remove shingles. Wind can also expose nails, open seams, and create areas where water can enter later.
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 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.
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.
What should I do after a tree limb hits the roof?
Request an inspection quickly. Tree impact can damage shingles, decking, gutters, fascia, vents, and flashing even if the damage looks small from the ground.
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 you inspect AC fins and exterior metal?
When accessible and relevant, RAFTRx may look at exterior metal items such as A/C fins, vents, trim, gutters, downspouts, and other surfaces that can show hail impact.
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.
Why is collateral damage important in a roof claim?
Collateral damage can help show that a hail or wind event affected the property as a whole. It may support the storm story when roof damage alone is difficult to see or was previously overlooked.
What are soft metals on a roof inspection?
Soft metals are exposed metal components such as vents, flashing, caps, turbines, and trim that may show hail dents more clearly than shingles.
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.
Can hail damage show up on garage doors?
Yes. Metal garage doors can show dents or impact marks from hail. Those marks may be part of the property-wide documentation after a storm.
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.
Are roof inspections useful before storm season?
Yes. A pre-season check can find weak spots, missing shingles, exposed fasteners, old pipe boots, and maintenance items before severe weather arrives.
Can a roof inspection help before filing an insurance claim?
A roof inspection can help you understand what is visible and document possible roof damage before deciding what to do next. It does not guarantee insurance approval, but it can help you make a more informed decision.
