Hail-damage roof documentation in Duluth, GA - narrated summary of this page.
A Duluth homeowner called after a storm rolled through. What we documented changed the conversation with the carrier.
The short version of this case file, read by Inspector Roofing narrator Dana Brooks.
Storm hits Duluth. Homeowner calls us first. The carrier’s first word is only as good as the file behind it – so we built the file: dense hail strikes circled in chalk across multiple slopes. The claim conversation changed. When the evidence is that clear, approvals follow. We document. The carrier decides. We are not public adjusters – we just make sure the truth is on record.
Dense hail strikes circled in chalk across multiple slopes.
Each strike is measured against a marked test square so impact density is documented the way carriers expect to see it.
Hail damage is easy to argue and easy to lose without a measured, photographed record.
We don’t sell roofs. We build files. This one started with full inspection and ended with a homeowner who knew exactly what they had.
Not every damaged roof needs replacing. We document the damage, the roof’s age and remaining life, and how repairable it is, then lay out both paths honestly. If a repair buys real years, we say so; if replacement is the right call, the record shows why. We document, the carrier decides – and if a public adjuster is ever needed, we bring one in rather than adjust the claim ourselves.
Whatever you’re told by someone selling a roof, demand the photos. We hand ours over by default.
Free inspection: 678-287-7169.

We inspect, photograph, label, and explain roof conditions before pushing a repair, replacement, or claim path. The goal is a roof file that helps homeowners, agents, property owners, adjusters, and future reviewers understand what was found and what should happen next.
Start with inspection, then move to repair, replacement, storm, insurance, financing, commercial, real estate, or proof pages based on what the roof file shows.

The work focus is checking impact marks, collateral indicators, slope exposure, shingle condition, photos, and repairability signals.

Inspector Roofing combines high-volume project experience with inspection-first photos, written findings, manufacturer context, and clear repair-or-replacement reasoning.

Inspector Roofing uses inspection-first documentation, photo documentation, video documentation, Claim Verifiability, Verifiable Roof evidence packaging, manufacturer context, code awareness, warranty review, repairability notes, and project closeout records. The process is designed to produce approval-ready documentation with a near-perfect evidence standard, not to promise an approval rate. Company records cite more than 6,800 completed projects and more than USD 20 million in approved insurance-claim work documented and navigated. Coverage and payment decisions remain with the insurance carrier.

Real hail bruising is usually invisible from the ground. We check every slope plus soft metals - gutters, downspouts, vents, AC fins - and photograph everything, so the answer comes from evidence, not a guess from the driveway.
Test squares on every elevation with hits circled and counted, soft-metal dent photos, slope-by-slope labels, and a match to verified hail data for your address - the same evidence format carriers use.
Georgia policies typically allow about a year from the date of loss, but waiting weakens evidence. A documented inspection soon after the storm preserves the bruising pattern and the storm-date match.
Hail damage is one of the perils Georgia homeowner policies commonly cover, but payment depends on your policy type, your deductible and whether the damage is documented as storm-caused rather than wear. That distinction is exactly what our free hail inspection settles: test squares on every elevation, dated photos of every hit, and measurements your adjuster can verify before you file.
There is no standard payout - every settlement follows the specific policy: replacement-cost versus actual-cash-value coverage, the deductible, and the documented scope of damage. What moves a payout more than anything is the quality of the documentation. We build that file for you at no charge: photos, test squares, measurements and a written scope. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written, line-by-line estimate.
The Storm Restoration Standard
Soft-metal hits, slope-by-slope bruising, and collateral damage photos: the same evidence standard carriers use internally. That is what we bring to every Duluth storm call.
