## Process

01. **Free hail-damage inspection** - We walk the roof and check for granule loss, mat bruising, and soft spots on every slope, not just the ones visible from the ground.
02. **Adjuster-ready documentation** - We put together dated photos and a written summary of what we found, in a format built for an insurance adjuster to review.
03. **Adjuster walkthrough, if you want it** - We can be on-site when your adjuster inspects the roof to point out damage that is easy to miss from the ground or in a quick pass.
04. **Approved-claim replacement** - Once the claim is approved, we write a replacement scope that matches your insurance approval, with a per-square price before any work starts.

## When it's needed

- Random dark, bruised spots on shingles after a hailstorm
- Granules collecting in gutters, downspouts, or along the ground below the roof edge
- Soft, dented, or cracked spots you can feel when pressing on a shingle
- Damaged or dented gutters, vents, or AC housing on the same side of the house as the roof
- A hailstorm hit your area in the last 12 months and the roof has not been checked
- A neighbor's roof was replaced due to hail damage and yours has not been inspected

## FAQ

**What actually counts as hail damage on a shingle roof versus normal aging?**

Insurers generally look for fresh, random bruising or fractures in the shingle mat and granule loss from an impact, not the gradual, even wear you see across an aging roof. We document both so it is clear which is which.

**Will you meet my insurance adjuster at the house?**

Yes, we can be on-site during the adjuster inspection to point out damage on slopes or valleys that are hard to see from the ground.

**What if my insurance company denies the claim or is slow to pay?**

Under Idaho Code section 41-1839, an insurer generally has to pay a valid claim within 30 days. If a claim is denied and you believe the damage is real, we can provide our documentation to support an appeal.

**Will a contractor waive my deductible if I use them for the repair?**

No, and be cautious of anyone who offers this. The Idaho Department of Insurance has published guidance identifying deductible-waiver offers as a storm-chaser fraud red flag, since waiving a deductible without disclosure to the insurer is generally illegal.
