How do I prepare for a roof inspection?
Clear driveway access, secure pets, share leak locations, gather storm dates if known, and make sure someone is available if interior areas need to be shown.
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.
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.
Does hail damage always mean I need a full roof replacement?
Not always. Some roofs need repair, some need monitoring, and some may justify replacement depending on the amount, location, age, and severity of damage.
Are you public adjusters?
No. RAFTRx is a roofing company, not a public adjuster. We document visible roof and property damage and help homeowners understand the inspection findings and next steps.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Can RAFTRx provide a roof replacement estimate in Temple?
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.
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.
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.
Do roof inspections include photos?
When possible, photo documentation can help explain visible conditions, damage indicators, repair needs, and areas that may need closer attention.
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.
Can RAFTRx help after a recent hail storm in Temple?
Yes. RAFTRx can help Temple homeowners review possible hail damage, storm exposure, roof leaks, missing shingles, and replacement or repair questions.
What should I show RAFTRx when requesting help in Temple?
Share the property address, roof age if known, storm date, photos of leaks or missing shingles, ceiling stains, gutter granules, and any insurance or adjuster details you already have.
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 hail damage show up later?
Some issues become more visible over time as granules loosen, bruised areas age, or water begins entering weakened spots. That is why post-storm review is useful.
What should I send RAFTRx before a second-opinion inspection?
Helpful items include the claim decision letter, scope if available, date of loss, storm date, photos, videos, leak photos, and notes about what the previous roofer or adjuster inspected.
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 inspect roof leaks in Temple?
Yes. If you have a ceiling stain, active drip, wet insulation, or a recurring leak after rain, RAFTRx can help look for likely roof entry points.
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.
