What does RAFTRx mean by whole-property storm damage documentation?
It means we inspect more than just the roof. We also look for visible storm indicators on gutters, downspouts, garage doors, vents, screens, siding, soft metals, fencing, and other exterior surfaces.
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.
Do you help with previously denied roof claims?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a second-opinion inspection focused on roof damage, collateral damage, photos, and organized documentation. We cannot guarantee a claim decision, but we can help identify evidence that may have been missed.
Can RAFTRx help after a recent hail storm in Mangum?

Why are granules in my gutters important?
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.
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 “Where others see a roof, we see the entire claim” mean?
It means RAFTRx looks beyond the shingles. We inspect the roof and the surrounding property so homeowners get a clearer picture of the total storm damage evidence.
Do you inspect commercial roofs too?
Yes. RAFTRx can review commercial roofing concerns, leaks, storm damage, maintenance needs, and replacement planning depending on the building and roof type.
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 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.
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 you give me documentation to show my insurance company?
RAFTRx can provide inspection findings, photos, notes, and roofing recommendations. The exact format may vary by inspection, and insurance decisions remain with the carrier.
What should I do if I see missing shingles?
Request a roof inspection soon. Missing shingles can expose underlayment and decking, allowing water intrusion during the next rain.
Can gutters and garage doors help support a roof claim?
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 RAFTRx help after an underpaid roof claim?
RAFTRx can review visible damage and documentation gaps so you better understand what may have been missed. We do not control supplement or claim outcomes, but better documentation can help clarify the conversation.
Is a roof estimate the same as an insurance claim estimate?
No. A contractor estimate explains repair or replacement scope and cost. An insurance estimate is issued by the insurance company or adjuster under your policy terms.
Can RAFTRx help if I am comparing roofers in Mangum?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a clear inspection and estimate experience so you can compare scope, communication, and next steps with other roofers in Mangum.
Do you answer questions before I book?
Yes. Use the form to describe your concern and RAFTRx can follow up about the best inspection or estimate option for your roof.
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.
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.
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.
