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.
Do you guarantee my insurance will pay for a new roof?
No. No roofer should guarantee an insurance outcome. RAFTRx focuses on careful inspection, honest guidance, and better documentation.
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.
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.
Can wind damage shingles even if there was no hail?
Yes. High winds can lift, crease, loosen, or remove shingles. Wind can also expose nails, open seams, and create areas where water can enter later.
Can RAFTRx help after an underpaid roof claim?

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.

Often, yes. Older shingles may be more vulnerable to wind, hail, heat, granule loss, cracking, and leaks, so periodic review is useful.

Yes. If hail passed through Waukomis, 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.

Not always. Some roofs need repair, some need monitoring, and some may justify replacement depending on the amount, location, age, and severity of damage.
What should I do after a tree limb hits the roof?
