Bruises found by hand
Hail strikes are located by running a hand across the slope and feeling the soft spots, then marking them. It cannot be done from a photograph.
Big roofs, long slopes and a lot of tree cover ยท (609) 474-9238
Out here a storm brings limbs down as well as hail, and the damage is spread across planes that cannot be seen from the road.
Have the storm damage checked โ (609) 474-9238Hail bruises a covering wherever it lands. A storm in wooded country adds limbs โ struck, scraped and sometimes still lying on a slope nobody has looked at. Both need finding by hand, and on a roof with eight planes that is most of a morning.

Punctures, gouges, and the lines of lost granules where a branch has been sweeping the covering every time it blows.
Lifted and creased tabs, broken seal strips along the windward edges, missing ridge cap on long exposed runs.
Every marked area photographed in position and in close-up, with the date, so whoever assesses the roof later is looking at what was there.
We document what we find and we will be on the roof with an adjuster if that helps. We do not file claims for homeowners, we do not act as your representative, and we promise nothing about what a policy pays. That stays between you and your insurer.
