Your result
Professional matching is not live yet. No name, phone number, email or address is collected.
Safety: do not walk on a wet, icy, steep, storm-damaged or structurally questionable roof. Use ground-level observations and interior documentation until a qualified inspection can be performed safely.
Build a useful storm record
Record the date and approximate time of the storm or first leak. Photograph the roof from the ground where possible, gutters and downspouts, debris, siding impacts, interior stains, active leaks and damaged belongings. Save local weather alerts, repair invoices and inspection reports.
Common questions
Roof damage, without climbing up there.
Should I get an inspection after hail or high wind?
A closer inspection is reasonable after significant hail or wind, particularly on an older roof or when visible exterior or interior symptoms are present. Use safe ground-level observations until a qualified inspection can be performed.
Can the roof be damaged even if it looks fine from the ground?
Yes. Some hail, flashing or shingle damage is difficult to see from ground level. Interior staining, active leakage or displaced materials raise the inspection priority.
What should I document after a storm?
Record the date and time, take safe ground-level photos of the roof, gutters, siding and debris, photograph any interior staining or leakage, and save weather alerts, inspection reports and repair invoices.
