Potential roofing concerns
- Granule loss on three-tab and architectural shingles
- Roof-surface conditions that require close inspection; weather reports and condition photographs do not determine insurance coverage
- Tile breakage on hill-country style roofs
- Damaged solar array glass and mounting hardware
Inspection recommendations
- 01Record observed conditions and request a written construction estimate; questions about reporting deadlines belong with your insurer or an attorney
- 02Match shingle batches now if a partial replacement is being considered
- 03Inspect every slope; hail damage is often directional and isolated
- 04Ask for an Xactimate-ready scope, not a verbal quote
