Do I need a roof inspection if my roof is not leaking?
Yes, a roof can have storm damage or wear before an active leak appears. An inspection helps identify visible issues early, especially after hail or high winds.
Can a storm damage inspection find non-storm issues too?
Yes. An inspection may also identify age-related wear, ventilation problems, flashing issues, installation defects, or maintenance concerns.
Can roof damage be hard to see from the ground?
Yes. Hail bruising, lifted tabs, cracked seals, flashing problems, and soft metal damage may not be obvious from the yard. A closer inspection is often needed.
Do you answer questions before I book?
Yes. Use the form to describe your concern and RAFTRx can follow up about the best inspection or estimate option for your roof.

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.
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.
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.
What areas do you inspect besides shingles?
We may check gutters, downspouts, garage doors, roof vents, flashing, metal trim, window screens, siding, fencing, exterior paint, and other visible areas that may show hail or wind damage.
Can gutters and garage doors help support a roof claim?
They may help support the overall storm documentation when visible dents or impact marks match the timing and pattern of the storm. RAFTRx documents those areas as part of the inspection.
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 RAFTRx help if I am comparing roofers in Ringling?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a clear inspection and estimate experience so you can compare scope, communication, and next steps with other roofers in Ringling.
Why is photo documentation important after a hail storm?
Photos help preserve visible evidence before repairs, more storms, or time make the condition harder to understand. Good documentation can also make conversations with your carrier more organized.
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 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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
