What if I am not sure when the damage happened?
You can still request an inspection. Share what you know about recent storms, when you noticed the problem, and any photos or leak symptoms you have.
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.
What parts of the roof are checked during an inspection?
A typical inspection may include shingles, ridges, valleys, flashing, pipe boots, vents, gutters, soft metals, roof penetrations, attic signs, and interior leak evidence when accessible.
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.
Can RAFTRx review storm damage before repairs start?
Yes. Reviewing and documenting visible storm-related issues before repairs can help you understand the scope and avoid missing related problem areas.
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 a roof inspection help when selling a home?
Yes. A pre-listing roof inspection can help identify repair issues, storm concerns, or replacement questions before they become negotiation problems.
Can a roof replacement improve curb appeal?
Yes. A new roofing system can improve curb appeal, ventilation, leak protection, resale confidence, and overall home appearance when replacement is appropriate.
What happens after I submit the inspection form?
RAFTRx will review your request, contact you about the property and roof concern, and help determine the best next step for inspection, repair, documentation, or estimate.
Can collateral damage matter if the roof damage is borderline?
It can matter because property-wide evidence may help explain that a storm affected the home. RAFTRx checks those additional areas so important details are not missed.
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.
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.
What if only one side of my roof was hit?
Hail and wind can affect slopes differently. The inspection can review individual slopes, directional exposure, and areas that took the most impact.
What is cleanup business in roofing?
In roofing, cleanup business often refers to prior denied, underpaid, or poorly documented claims where another contractor did not capture enough evidence. RAFTRx helps by taking a more complete look.
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.
Should I wait for another storm before checking my roof?
No. Waiting can allow minor issues to become bigger leaks. If you suspect roof damage now, it is better to request an inspection and understand the condition.
Can RAFTRx inspect roof leaks in Mounds?
Yes. If you have a ceiling stain, active drip, wet insulation, or a recurring leak after rain, RAFTRx can help look for likely roof entry points.
What if I only need roof repair in Mounds?
RAFTRx can review repair needs such as missing shingles, leaks, flashing issues, pipe boots, vents, and localized storm damage before recommending the next step.
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.
Why did another roofer say there was no damage?
They may have missed subtle roof indicators, inspected the wrong slopes, or skipped collateral damage. A second opinion can help verify whether the original inspection was complete.
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.
Can RAFTRx provide a roof replacement estimate in Mounds?
Yes. If replacement appears to be the right path, RAFTRx can help review roof size, roofing materials, ventilation, tear-off needs, accessories, and project scope.
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.
How do I prepare for a roof inspection?
Clear driveway access, secure pets, share leak locations, gather storm dates if known, and make sure someone is available if interior areas need to be shown.
