Is a free roof inspection really free?
The inspection request is free and no-obligation. Any repair or replacement work would be discussed separately after the roof condition and scope are 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.
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.
Why are granules in my gutters important?
Granule loss can expose shingles to faster aging and may indicate hail impact, old shingles, or storm wear. It is one clue that should be reviewed with the overall roof condition.
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.
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.
What does RAFTRx mean by whole-property storm damage documentation?
It means we inspect more than just the roof. We also look for visible storm indicators on gutters, downspouts, garage doors, vents, screens, siding, soft metals, fencing, and other exterior surfaces.
Do former insurance agents make better roof inspectors?
Insurance background can help with documentation mindset. RAFTRx uses that perspective to look for the types of evidence, patterns, and property-wide details that are often important after a storm.
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.
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 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.
Should I get a roof inspection in Silo after hail?
Yes. If hail passed through Silo, a roof inspection can help document bruised shingles, granule loss, soft metal dents, lifted tabs, damaged vents, and other visible storm indicators before small issues become leaks.
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 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.
Can RAFTRx review storm damage before repairs start?
Yes. Reviewing and documenting visible storm-related issues before repairs can help you understand the scope and avoid missing related problem areas.
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
That depends on roof age, damage amount, leak history, shingle condition, ventilation, decking condition, and whether problems are isolated or widespread.
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.
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 is the fastest way to get started?
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 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.
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.
What does “Where others see a roof, we see the entire claim” mean?
It means RAFTRx looks beyond the shingles. We inspect the roof and the surrounding property so homeowners get a clearer picture of the total storm damage evidence.
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.
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.
