Storm & hail claims, Calhoun County
Your roof,
documented
and done right.
Hail and wind don't always show up as a leak. They show up as granules in the gutter and a claim your insurer wants proof for. We inspect every slope, photograph it, and meet your adjuster on the roof. You get a straight answer in writing either way.
No pressure on the claim. If your roof is fine, we tell you that and leave.
The part nobody explains
Three steps, one claim
Most storm claims in this county are denied for the same reason: nobody documented the damage before the shingles were pulled. We do the documenting, in order, and hand your insurer a file that is hard to argue with.
Inspect
Every slope, both sides of the ridge, gutters and flashing. Chalk marks on the hail hits, photos of each one, and a written note of what is damaged and what is not.
Document
You get the photo file. When the adjuster comes out, we meet them on the roof with the same photos, measurements and the shingle spec that matches your house.
Restore
Tarp first if water is getting in. Then the work: matching shingles or full replacement, gutters straightened, ridge vent replaced, and the yard cleaned to the last nail.
What the free inspection covers
- Every slope and both sides of the ridge, plus the attic where it is safe to get in
- Hail and wind damage marked in chalk and photographed hit by hit
- The shingle and underlayment already on your roof, written down by name
- Soft decking checked by hand, not guessed at from the ground
- A straight answer on repair versus replace, in writing
No charge, no obligation, and you keep the photos either way.
What changes the price
- Size, pitch and how cut up the roof is. Steep and many-sided takes longer
- How many old layers have to come off
- Whether the decking is soft and has to be replaced with the shingles
- Ridge vent, flashing, chimney and skylight work around the field of the roof
- Code upgrades your insurer covers, and whether you pick architectural or impact resistant shingles
We price the roof we can see, item by item, before anyone signs.

From the neighbors
What they say after the adjuster leaves
Our insurer denied it the first time. These guys had photos of every hail hit and met the second adjuster on the roof. Approved in nine days and the roof was done in two.
Tarped the same evening the tree came down, then talked me out of a full replacement because the back slope was fine. That is not how roofers usually act.

Straight answers
Before you call
Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes, and it is most of what we do after a storm. We photograph the damage, send the file to your adjuster, and meet them on the roof so nothing gets argued about later. You still make the decisions on your policy; we just make sure the damage is on the record.
What does the inspection cost?
Nothing, and there is no obligation attached to it. If the roof is fine we tell you that in writing, and if there is damage we hand you the photos so you can decide what to do with them.
How fast can you tarp a roof?
Within 24 hours of your call, storms and all, because a tarp is what stops a $900 repair from becoming a $9,000 one. Board-up on windows and doors is the same day.
Do I have to be home?
For the inspection, no. We need to get on the roof and we will text you photos before we leave the driveway. For the estimate or the adjuster visit, yes, if you want to be there.
Get the roof looked at
before the next rain.
One call, a free inspection, and photos of every slope in your hand by the end of the week. If it is fine, you will hear that too.
