Insurance Inspection # Insurance Claim Roof Inspection in The Colony, TX If a storm damaged your roof and you are thinking about roof replacement with insurance, the first step is knowing what is actually on your roof. Different Roofing is a roofer that works with insurance adjusters in a simple way: we inspect your roof, document the damage with photos and measurements, and meet the adjuster on site. Your insurance company decides what is covered. ## Step 1: A Free Roof Inspection We get on the roof and check every slope, the ridge, the flashing around chimneys and walls, pipe boots and vents, and the soft metals like gutters, downspouts and vent caps that show hail hits clearly. We also look at your ceilings or attic for signs of leaks. The inspection is free, with no obligation. ## Step 2: Photos and Measurements We photograph the damage on each slope, with close-ups of individual hail hits, creased or missing shingles, and dented metal, so the condition of the roof is clear to anyone who looks at the photos. We also measure the roof: the area of each slope, the pitch, and the lengths of the ridges, valleys, eaves and rakes. You get a copy of the photos and measurements to keep. ## Step 3: We Meet the Adjuster on Site When the adjuster's visit is scheduled, let us know the date and time. We meet the adjuster at your home and are on site during the inspection, so the damage we documented can be seen firsthand. To know what to expect that day, read [what an insurance adjuster looks for on a roof](https://www.differentroofing.com/blogs/insurance-adjuster-roof-inspection/). ## What Storm Damage Looks Like - Hail bruises: dark spots where the granules were knocked off, often soft to the touch - Cracked, split or creased shingles from hail or wind - Lifted, torn or missing shingles and broken seal strips after high winds - Dents in roof vents, turbines, pipe jacks, flashing, gutters and downspouts - Granules collecting in the gutters or at the bottom of downspouts Much of this is hard to see from the ground, which is why we document it from on the roof.
