Roof condition · After hail or high winds
A roof can have storm-related damage without leaking immediately. An inspection is useful when your area experienced significant hail or wind, when shingles or roof components are visibly displaced, or when you notice leaks, ceiling stains, granules, debris or other changes after a storm.
Reasons to schedule an inspection
- Hail or high winds affected your neighborhood.
- Shingles, ridge caps, flashing or vents appear loose or missing.
- You see a new ceiling stain or attic moisture.
- Gutters, downspouts or soft-metal roof components show fresh impact marks.
- You need a documented roof-condition record before deciding whether to file a claim or make repairs.
What Roofing Giant documents
Our inspection records roof surfaces, flashing, penetrations, ventilation, visible storm damage and related exterior conditions with photographs. You receive a written report and a construction recommendation: repair, replacement, monitoring or no immediate work when the roof is serviceable.
An inspection does not decide insurance coverage
A roofing inspection evaluates the physical roof. Your insurance company determines coverage under your policy. If you decide to file a claim, the Texas Department of Insurance recommends photographing damage, preventing additional loss, keeping receipts and being available for the insurer’s adjuster inspection.
