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.
What should I do if I see missing shingles?
Request a roof inspection soon. Missing shingles can expose underlayment and decking, allowing water intrusion during the next rain.
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.
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.
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.
What is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate?

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.

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.
Can downspouts show hail damage?
Yes. Downspouts often show dents from hail impact, especially on exposed sides of the property. RAFTRx checks them during collateral damage inspections.

Can RAFTRx provide a roof replacement estimate in Stilwell?
Yes. If replacement appears to be the right path, RAFTRx can help review roof size, roofing materials, ventilation, tear-off needs, accessories, and project scope.
Are soft metal dents important during hail inspections?
Dents on gutters, vents, flashing, and other soft metals can help confirm hail impact around the property, but the shingles and full roof system still need to be reviewed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
