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.

Yes. Photos of roof damage, ceiling stains, gutters, shingles, and storm evidence can help RAFTRx understand your concern before the inspection.
