Can I submit photos before scheduling?
Yes. Photos of roof damage, ceiling stains, gutters, shingles, and storm evidence can help RAFTRx understand your concern before the inspection.
What parts of the roof are checked during an inspection?
A typical inspection may include shingles, ridges, valleys, flashing, pipe boots, vents, gutters, soft metals, roof penetrations, attic signs, and interior leak evidence when accessible.
Can RAFTRx help with documentation for my roof?
RAFTRx can help organize visible roof conditions, photos, repair scope, and estimate details so you have clearer information for your next decision.

What are common signs of roof damage after an Oklahoma storm?

What does “Where others see a roof, we see the entire claim” mean?
It means RAFTRx looks beyond the shingles. We inspect the roof and the surrounding property so homeowners get a clearer picture of the total storm damage evidence.
Can gutters and garage doors help support a roof claim?
They may help support the overall storm documentation when visible dents or impact marks match the timing and pattern of the storm. RAFTRx documents those areas as part of the inspection.
Will RAFTRx meet with my adjuster?
Availability may depend on schedule and location. RAFTRx can discuss inspection findings with you and help organize documentation before or after an adjuster visit.
Can small roof leaks become expensive?
Yes. Small leaks can damage decking, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical areas, and interior finishes if they are not addressed.
Do newer roofs get hail damage too?
Yes. Newer roofs can still be damaged by large hail, wind, flying debris, improper installation, or impact to vents, gutters, flashing, and ridge areas.
Do you help with previously denied roof claims?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a second-opinion inspection focused on roof damage, collateral damage, photos, and organized documentation. We cannot guarantee a claim decision, but we can help identify evidence that may have been missed.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It depends on the property and inspection type. Exterior-only reviews may be simpler, but interior leaks, attic concerns, locked gates, and pets may require access or coordination.
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.
Can downspouts show hail damage?
Yes. Downspouts often show dents from hail impact, especially on exposed sides of the property. RAFTRx checks them during collateral damage inspections.
Are soft metal dents important during hail inspections?
Dents on gutters, vents, flashing, and other soft metals can help confirm hail impact around the property, but the shingles and full roof system still need to be reviewed.
Can roof damage be hard to see from the ground?
Yes. Hail bruising, lifted tabs, cracked seals, flashing problems, and soft metal damage may not be obvious from the yard. A closer inspection is often needed.
Can RAFTRx help if I am comparing roofers in Shawnee?
Yes. RAFTRx can provide a clear inspection and estimate experience so you can compare scope, communication, and next steps with other roofers in Shawnee.
Do former insurance agents make better roof inspectors?
Insurance background can help with documentation mindset. RAFTRx uses that perspective to look for the types of evidence, patterns, and property-wide details that are often important after a storm.
What roofing materials are common in Oklahoma?
Asphalt shingles are common for Oklahoma homes, but some properties also have metal roofing, flat roofing, modified bitumen, TPO, tile, or specialty systems.
What if my insurance adjuster already inspected the roof?
You can still request a roofing review if you have questions, disagree with visible findings, or need help understanding the scope and repair options.
What is collateral damage after a hail storm?
Collateral damage is storm damage outside the roof itself, such as dents on gutters, garage doors, downspouts, metal vents, screens, siding, trim, fencing, or other exposed exterior areas.
What areas do you inspect besides shingles?
We may check gutters, downspouts, garage doors, roof vents, flashing, metal trim, window screens, siding, fencing, exterior paint, and other visible areas that may show hail or wind damage.
