🕒WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO INSPECT

Delaying Could Cost You Your Entire Roof—And Your Claim.
When hail hits your roof, it doesn’t always look serious right away. But the damage has already started—and the clock is ticking.

☀️ The Slow Burn of Roof Damage

Hailstones remove the shingles’ protective granules, causing the tar underneath to dry out under the sun, crack, and eventually leak. The problem? That process takes 3 to 6 months. By then, your insurance company won’t be able to tell when the damage was caused. We inspect, catalog the damage, and email the proof—creating an undeniable, digital timestamp on the damage that the insurer can’t walk away from!

*Why They Deny Claims?

By the time you see a leak, the damage has already spread beneath the shingles, affecting decking, underlayment, and interior structures. That’s when insurance companies love to use phrases like:

“This appears to be pre-existing damage, not storm-related.”
“The roof has deteriorated naturally over time.”
“No clear evidence connects this to a specific storm event.”

Translation? Claim denied.

📅 You Only Get One Shot

If a new storm rolls through after the original damage occurred, and you didn’t get an inspection after the first one, your insurer has no way to link the damage to the correct storm.

That gives them a perfect excuse to deny your claim based on:

Overlap with new weather events

Timing uncertainty

Lack of documentation
