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.

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.

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.
