Sooner is better. Early documentation helps capture visible damage before repairs, additional storms, oxidation, or normal wear make the evidence harder to interpret.
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 damage be hard to see from the ground?

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.

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.
