Why do some roofers miss storm damage evidence?
Some roofers focus almost entirely on shingles. RAFTRx looks at the roof and the surrounding property because the evidence is often beyond the roof.

They may help support the overall storm documentation when visible dents or impact marks match the timing and pattern of the storm. RAFTRx documents those areas as part of the inspection.
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.
