Are soft metal dents important during hail inspections?

Can you inspect my roof if another roofer already looked at it?

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.
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.
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 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.
Can roof vents be damaged by hail?
Yes. Roof vents, turbine vents, box vents, pipe jacks, and other metal or plastic components can crack, dent, loosen, or leak after hail and wind.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
What if I only need roof repair in Thomas?
RAFTRx can review repair needs such as missing shingles, leaks, flashing issues, pipe boots, vents, and localized storm damage before recommending the next step.
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 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 small roof leaks become expensive?
Yes. Small leaks can damage decking, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical areas, and interior finishes if they are not addressed.
What if my neighbors got approved but I was denied?
That can be a reason to request a second opinion. RAFTRx can inspect your property for visible roof and collateral damage to help you understand whether important evidence was missed.

Can you give me documentation to show my insurance company?
