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 my insurance adjuster already inspected the roof?
You can still request a roofing review if you have questions, disagree with visible findings, or need help understanding the scope and repair options.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Why does RAFTRx say the storm hit more than your roof?
Because hail and wind often leave signs across the property. Gutters, garage doors, downspouts, screens, vents, and soft metals may show visible evidence even when roof damage is harder to understand.
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.
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 RAFTRx inspect roofs after heavy rain?
Yes, heavy rain can reveal leaks around valleys, flashing, vents, skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations that were not obvious during dry weather.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It depends on the property and inspection type. Exterior-only reviews may be simpler, but interior leaks, attic concerns, locked gates, and pets may require access or coordination.
Why is collateral damage important in a roof claim?
Collateral damage can help show that a hail or wind event affected the property as a whole. It may support the storm story when roof damage alone is difficult to see or was previously overlooked.
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.
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.
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.
What are common signs of roof damage after an Oklahoma storm?
Common signs include missing shingles, lifted shingles, creased tabs, granule piles, dented gutters, damaged vents, cracked pipe boots, ceiling stains, and new leaks after rain.
Can RAFTRx provide a roof replacement estimate in Velma?
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Can RAFTRx help with documentation for my roof?
RAFTRx can help organize visible roof conditions, photos, repair scope, and estimate details so you have clearer information for your next decision.
