The Power of X
RAFTRx Roofing + Exteriors specializes in storm damage roof restoration and insurance-approved roof replacements for homeowners across our multi-state service area. From the first roof inspection to the final clean-up, we’re your partner in getting your home back to pre-storm condition — often with your insurance helping cover the cost.
Even if everything looks fine from the driveway, your roof may still have damage. After any major storm, watch for:
If you notice any of these—or you simply know a big hail or wind event hit your neighborhood—it’s time to schedule a storm damage roof inspection.
When a storm rolls through, your roof takes the hit first. High winds, hail, wind-driven rain, and falling debris can all leave behind hidden damage that leads to leaks, mold, and costly structural issues if it’s not fixed quickly.
Hail can crack shingles, bruise the shingle mat, knock off protective granules, and create soft spots that lead to leaks & premature roof failure. RAFTRx performs thorough hail damage roof inspections and provides honest recommendations for repair or full roof replacement.
High winds can lift, crease, or completely tear off shingles, leaving exposed areas that allow water to seep into your home. Our team quickly identifies missing or damaged shingles, secures your roof against further storm damage, and restores your roofing system to pre-storm condition.
Fallen limbs, flying debris, and trees crashing onto your roof can cause structural damage, punctures, and broken shingles in a single storm. RAFTRx provides emergency roof tarping, detailed damage assessments, and professional roof restoration to keep your home safe and weather-tight.
Intense or prolonged rain can expose weak spots in your roofing system, causing leaks around vents, chimneys, skylights, and valleys. We locate the source of roof leaks, repair the damaged areas, and make sure your roof is properly sealed to help prevent future water intrusion.
Snow and ice can create ice dams along your roof edges, forcing water back under shingles and into your attic or ceilings. RAFTRx addresses damage caused by ice dams, inspects your ventilation and insulation, and restores your roof to handle future winter storms more effectively.
Lightning strikes and sudden impacts can crack shingles, damage flashing, & compromise the integrity of your roof in ways that aren’t always visible. Our roofing specialists perform a careful inspection after severe storms, document all roof damage, & recommend next steps for your home.
We’ve refined our process to make addressing concerns to your roof as stress-free as possible.
Storm damage and insurance claims often go hand in hand, and we understand that the process can feel overwhelming. While you remain in control of your claim, RAFTRx can help by:
Our goal is to simplify the roof insurance claim process so you can focus on getting your home back to normal, not chasing paperwork.
Not all storm damage is obvious from the ground. Hail can bruise shingle mats, high winds can slightly lift shingles, and heavy rain can push water into small openings you can’t see. Over time, these issues can turn into leaks, mold, and interior damage that cost much more to fix.
That’s why a professional storm damage roof inspection is so important after severe weather. RAFTRx provides detailed inspections, photos, and honest recommendations so you know whether you need simple repairs or a full storm damage roof replacement.
Many signs of storm damage are subtle, like bruised shingles, granule loss, or lifted shingle edges that you can’t see from the ground. If you’ve had hail, strong wind, or debris in your area, it’s smart to schedule a professional storm damage roof inspection from a company like RAFTRx to document any issues before they turn into leaks.
Hail damage often shows up as dark spots, dents, or “bruises” on shingles where protective granules are missing. You may also see granules washing into gutters or around downspouts—RAFTRx inspectors are trained to spot these details and determine whether hail damage is severe enough to warrant roof repair or replacement.
You should schedule a roof inspection as soon as it is safe to do so after a hail, wind, or severe thunderstorm. Quick documentation from a qualified contractor like RAFTRx helps protect your home from further damage and supports you if you decide to file an insurance claim.
In many cases, homeowners insurance will help pay for roof repair or replacement when damage is caused by a covered storm event like hail or wind. RAFTRx can document the damage, provide a detailed inspection report, and help you navigate the roof insurance claim process so you understand what’s likely to be covered.
If your roof is actively leaking or you see obvious damage, it’s often best to contact a trusted roofing company first for an emergency inspection and temporary protection. RAFTRx can provide photos, measurements, and a detailed scope of damage that you can then share with your insurance company when you open a claim.
Even “small” storm damage, like a few lifted shingles or minor hail bruising, can allow water to slowly seep into your roofing system. Over time this can lead to leaks, wood rot, mold, and interior damage that are much more expensive to fix than addressing the initial storm damage with RAFTRx right away.
Climbing onto your roof after a storm is risky, especially if shingles are loose, surfaces are wet, or debris is present. It’s safer to let a trained roofing professional from RAFTRx perform a full storm damage roof inspection using proper safety equipment and experience to identify problem areas.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, the size of your roof, and whether insurance is involved, but many full roof replacements can be completed in about a day once materials are delivered and approvals are in place. RAFTRx will give you a clear schedule up front and keep you updated on each step of the restoration process.
In many cases, matching shingle color and style exactly can be challenging, especially on older roofs with weathered materials. RAFTRx will always aim for the best possible match, but if repairs won’t blend well or the damage is widespread, we may recommend a full roof replacement for a more consistent and long-lasting result.
Sometimes adjusters classify hail or wind damage as cosmetic, even if it may shorten the life of your roof. RAFTRx can provide a detailed, professional assessment explaining how storm damage affects the performance of your shingles, which you can use if you choose to request a reinspection or second opinion from your carrier.
You’ll want a contractor experienced with storm damage restoration, properly insured, and familiar with working alongside insurance carriers. RAFTRx combines local crews with a larger support team, giving you the personal touch of a neighborhood roofer with the resources and expertise of a dedicated storm restoration company.
