Free Storm Damage Inspection in Medford

A Cherry Hill storm damage inspection starts with the date and direction of the storm. Hail usually leaves a pattern, with heavier impact on the windward roof slope and visible dents on soft metal items such as gutters, vents, pipe boots, and flashing. The contractor checks those clues before calling the roof storm damaged. The shingle surface gets a hands-on review. On many older Cherry Hill roofs, hail bruises can be subtle because the shingles already have granule wear from age, heat, and past weather. The inspection looks for circular impact marks, exposed asphalt, mat bruising, broken seal strips, creased tabs, and missing granules in a storm pattern. Low-slope porch and addition roofs get extra attention. Shallow sections can hide damage near sidewalls, valleys, and tie-ins, and they often need different underlayment during replacement. Catching that early can prevent a replacement estimate that misses the leak-prone parts of the roof. After the inspection, you should know whether the damage looks claim-worthy, whether more documentation is needed, and which parts of the roof system need repair or replacement. If the evidence does not support a claim, you should hear that too.
