What should I do if my roof claim was denied?
Start by reviewing what was inspected and what was documented. If the first review only focused on shingles, a second opinion may help check for collateral damage and other overlooked storm indicators.
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.
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.
What if my roof is too steep or unsafe to walk?
Safety comes first. Depending on the roof, inspection may involve ground review, ladder access, drone/photo options, or another safe documentation method.
Will RAFTRx meet with my adjuster?
Availability may depend on schedule and location. RAFTRx can discuss inspection findings with you and help organize documentation before or after an adjuster visit.
Why does Oklahoma weather cause so many roofing issues?
Oklahoma roofs face hail, high winds, heavy rain, heat, UV exposure, and rapid weather changes, all of which can age or damage roofing systems.
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.
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.
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.
Can RAFTRx help after an underpaid roof claim?
RAFTRx can review visible damage and documentation gaps so you better understand what may have been missed. We do not control supplement or claim outcomes, but better documentation can help clarify the conversation.
What makes RAFTRx different from a regular roofing company?
RAFTRx combines roofing inspection with an insurance-focused documentation mindset. We look for storm evidence across the entire property, not just on the roof.
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.
Can I submit photos before scheduling?
Yes. Photos of roof damage, ceiling stains, gutters, shingles, and storm evidence can help RAFTRx understand your concern before the inspection.
Why is collateral damage important in a roof claim?
Collateral damage can help show that a hail or wind event affected the property as a whole. It may support the storm story when roof damage alone is difficult to see or was previously overlooked.
What phrase best explains the RAFTRx inspection approach?
A simple way to say it is: roofers look up; we look everywhere. RAFTRx inspects the roof and the surrounding property for overlooked storm evidence.
What are soft metals on a roof inspection?
Soft metals are exposed metal components such as vents, flashing, caps, turbines, and trim that may show hail dents more clearly than shingles.
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.
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.
Can RAFTRx reopen my denied insurance claim?
RAFTRx does not control insurance claim decisions and does not guarantee reopening or approval. We can inspect the property, document visible storm evidence, and help you understand what may have been missed.
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.
Can a roof inspection include attic signs?
If attic access is available and safe, checking for water stains, daylight, wet insulation, or ventilation issues can help understand leak sources.

Do I need a roof inspection if my roof is not leaking?
