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.

How soon should I request a hail damage roof inspection in Prague?
It is smart to request an inspection soon after the storm, especially if you see granules, missing shingles, dents on gutters, or new ceiling stains. Early documentation can help you understand the condition of the roof before more weather arrives.
Why does RAFTRx say the storm hit more than your roof?
Because hail and wind often leave signs across the property. Gutters, garage doors, downspouts, screens, vents, and soft metals may show visible evidence even when roof damage is harder to understand.
Can you inspect my roof if another roofer already looked at it?
Yes. A second opinion is common, especially if the first roofer only inspected the roof and did not document gutters, garage doors, downspouts, vents, and other collateral damage.
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.
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.
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 check gutters during a storm damage inspection?
Gutters, downspouts, and soft metals can be reviewed for dents, separation, granule buildup, and water-flow issues that may relate to storm activity or roof wear.
What should I send RAFTRx before a second-opinion inspection?
Helpful items include the claim decision letter, scope if available, date of loss, storm date, photos, videos, leak photos, and notes about what the previous roofer or adjuster inspected.

Use the form on this page, choose the service type that best matches your concern, and include notes about leaks, storm dates, missing shingles, hail, wind, or insurance questions.
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.
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 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.
Do you inspect AC fins and exterior metal?
When accessible and relevant, RAFTRx may look at exterior metal items such as A/C fins, vents, trim, gutters, downspouts, and other surfaces that can show hail impact.
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 is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate?
A roof inspection focuses on condition and visible issues. A roof estimate focuses on projected repair or replacement scope and pricing after the roof has been reviewed.
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.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It depends on the property and inspection type. Exterior-only reviews may be simpler, but interior leaks, attic concerns, locked gates, and pets may require access or coordination.
Are you public adjusters?
No. RAFTRx is a roofing company, not a public adjuster. We document visible roof and property damage and help homeowners understand the inspection findings and next steps.
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.
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.
