Why inspect screens and siding during a roof inspection?
Screens and siding can show storm impact, tears, chips, dents, or wind-related damage. Those details may support a whole-property storm review.
What should I show RAFTRx when requesting help in Perkins?
Share the property address, roof age if known, storm date, photos of leaks or missing shingles, ceiling stains, gutter granules, and any insurance or adjuster details you already have.
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.

Does hail damage always mean I need a full roof replacement?
Not always. Some roofs need repair, some need monitoring, and some may justify replacement depending on the amount, location, age, and severity of damage.
How soon after a storm should collateral damage be documented?
Sooner is better. Early documentation helps capture visible damage before repairs, additional storms, oxidation, or normal wear make the evidence harder to interpret.
What is collateral damage after a hail storm?
Collateral damage is storm damage outside the roof itself, such as dents on gutters, garage doors, downspouts, metal vents, screens, siding, trim, fencing, or other exposed exterior areas.
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.

What if I see a ceiling stain but no roof damage?

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.
What phrase best explains the RAFTRx inspection approach?

Can RAFTRx reopen my denied insurance claim?

Do older roofs need more frequent inspections?
Often, yes. Older shingles may be more vulnerable to wind, hail, heat, granule loss, cracking, and leaks, so periodic review is useful.
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.
