Our Inspection Process
We don't just look at your roof from the street. Our Pro-Package inspection is a forensic, documentation-grade assessment of your entire exterior — roof, siding, gutters, and soft metals — backed by certified NOAA storm data tied to your exact property.
Pro-Package Report
Full photo documentation, hit maps, and storm data delivered digitally
Every Hit Photographed
Not just a walkthrough — every hail impact is marked and photographed
NOAA Data Included
Certified weather records for your exact GPS coordinates included at no charge
How Our Inspection Compares
Most contractors deliver a walk-through and estimate. We deliver forensic documentation that proves your damage to insurance adjusters.

The difference? Our Pro-Package documentation maximizes your insurance claim settlement because every detail is documented, measured, and tied to certified storm data.
Full Roof Inspection
- Walk every slope and inspect every plane of the roof surface
- Identify circular hail bruising and granule displacement on shingles
- Measure hail hit density per roofing square (10×10 ft)
- Inspect ridge caps, valleys, flashings, pipe boots, and vents
- Check decking for soft spots indicating water intrusion
- Document wind-lifted, cracked, or displaced shingles
- Inspect A/C condenser fins — the most reliable hail size indicator
Full Siding Inspection
- Walk the full perimeter and inspect all exposed siding panels
- Identify impact fractures, spider cracks, and perforation from hail
- Check window trim, corner posts, fascia boards, and J-channels
- Document storm-driven debris impacts and wind damage
- Identify pre-existing wear vs. storm-caused damage clearly
- Photograph every elevation for insurance documentation
Full Gutters & Downspouts Inspection
- Inspect all gutter runs for round hail impact dents (measurable, undeniable evidence)
- Check downspouts and splash blocks for impact damage
- Look for gutter separation, sagging, or fascia board rot
- Document granule accumulation inside gutters (confirms shingle strike volume)
- Check downspout extensions and ground-level drainage
- Note whether existing gutter size is adequate for roof drainage load
Hail Hit Markup & Documentation
- Every confirmed hail hit is marked with chalk or paint pen on the shingle
- Hits are measured and recorded — diameter, depth, and location on the roof plane
- Hit density per square is calculated and compared to insurance eligibility thresholds
- Ridge cap hits are documented separately — they take direct horizontal impacts
- All marked areas are photographed in sequence with GPS metadata
- Inspection sheet maps the roof with exact hit counts per plane
Photo Documentation of Every Hit
- Every individual hail hit is photographed up close with a scale reference coin or ruler
- Photos capture the exposed asphalt beneath displaced granules
- Wide shots establish hit density context on each roof plane
- A/C fins, gutters, siding, and soft metals photographed in the same sequence
- All images are timestamped, GPS-tagged, and organized by elevation
- Delivered to homeowner in a full digital Pro-Package report
Homeowner Walkthrough — We Show You Everything
- We walk every homeowner through every single finding on their own property
- We show you the actual hail hits — not just describe them
- We explain what the damage means for your roof's longevity and claim eligibility
- We answer every question before we leave your property
- No high-pressure tactics — just facts, photos, and your options
- You receive a full copy of all findings and the Pro-Package report
NOAA Storm Data Report
- We pull certified NOAA storm data for your exact GPS coordinates
- Report shows every confirmed hail event, wind event, and tornado warning at your address
- Hail size, storm path, and timestamps are documented for each event
- This data ties your roof damage directly to a verified weather event — critical for claims
- Insurance adjusters cannot dispute certified NOAA data
- Report is included in your Pro-Package and submitted with your insurance claim
