How to tell if your roof took a hit
- Gutters: fresh round dents on the downside of a gutter or on the aluminum gutter apron.
- Flashing: new dings on soft aluminum step flashing or on a turtle vent.
- A/C unit: dings on the condenser coil fins are a strong hail-size proxy — photograph them.
- Shingles: granule loss pooled in gutters and downspouts beyond normal shed.
- Ridge caps: lifted or torn at a single ridge plane — high-wind exposure indicator.
The claim-ready packet
Insurance adjusters work fast. What speeds up a claim is documentation. We bring:
- Forty photos minimum — every slope, every penetration, close-ups of damage.
- Hail-size correlation photos (A/C coil, gutter aprons, soft metal).
- A written scope of loss aligned to Xactimate line items.
- On-site attendance during your adjuster's visit if you'd like.
Things we won't touch
- Deductible waivers, discounts, or "we'll eat it" — that's insurance fraud, and we don't play.
- Signing a contract at the door. Texas gives you 3 days to rescind any residential roof repair contract signed at your home — § 27.02.
- Acting as your public adjuster. We're the contractor; a PA is a separately-licensed role under Tex. Ins. Code § 701.
