Hail damage is a roof-level diagnosis. A bruised shingle looks fine from the ground but bleeds granules for years — so every Clarkston hail inspection we do is hands-on: per-slope photos, a field brittle test, and collateral-metal evidence, all labeled and handed to you. Free, and the file is yours whether you repair, claim, or do nothing.
A real Clarkston hail inspection checks three things: the shingle field for bruising (per slope, hands-on), the soft metals for corroboration (vents, gutters, downspouts dent before shingles show it), and the brittle test that tells whether the surrounding field can survive a targeted repair. You get every photo, labeled, whether damage is found or not.
Is the hail inspection really free in Clarkston?
Yes — inspection, photos, and written summary are free. The file is yours to use with any contractor or your carrier.
How long does it take?
Most single-family Clarkston roofs: about an hour on site, with the photo file delivered after.
Will you tell me to replace my roof?
Only if the field evidence says so. Isolated bruising on a healthy field is a repair — and we show you the brittle-test photos that prove it. Insurance decisions belong to your carrier; we do not act as public adjusters.
One free hail inspection replaces guessing with a dated, labeled photo file of your Clarkston roof — yours to keep, whichever path you choose.

Clarkston hail damage is real but uneven — storm tracks hit one block and skip the next. A HAAG-certified hail inspection proves what your roof actually has: test-square documentation, labeled impact photos, and a written determination. Inspector Roofing and Restoration — part of 4,700+ documented projects across metro Atlanta, 5.0 stars across 290+ Google reviews — inspects free and gives you the evidence either way.
You cannot tell from the ground, and neither can a salesman. Hail bruising shows on test squares: fractures in the mat under the granules. Our HAAG-certified inspectors document it slope by slope and show you the labeled photos — you see what we see.
If the damage meets your carrier’s criteria, yes — minus your deductible. The file decides: documentation built to carrier standards makes the review about facts, not opinions. If your roof does not have claimable damage, we tell you that too.
A second documented inspection can confirm or correct the denial. If the damage is real, better evidence changes outcomes; if it is not, we will show you plainly why — the photos settle it either way.

The visible signs are dented gutters, downspouts, vent covers, and A/C fins, plus bruised shingles or granules collecting at downspouts. But most hail damage is not visible from the ground. Inspector Roofing walks the entire roof in Clarkston, GA, photographs every hit mark, and hands you a timestamped report so nothing is guessed.
Hail is a covered peril on most Georgia homeowner policies, and the claim lives or dies on documentation. We photograph shingle bruising, soft metal dents, and collateral damage the day we inspect, so you and your adjuster see the same evidence. No pressure to file — you decide with the proof in hand.
Within days, not weeks. Bruised shingles can fail quietly, and some policies set filing deadlines after the storm date. An inspection right after the storm in Clarkston captures the evidence before it washes away or gets attributed to wear and tear.
A full roof walk in Clarkston, GA: shingle bruising and mat-exposure checks, gutters and downspouts, vents, flashing, and soft metals that dent before shingles do. We check the attic for active leaks when access allows and deliver a photo-documented condition report you can hand to your insurer.
Yes. Hairline fractures and granule loss let water in slowly, so a roof that looked fine in spring can leak by fall. That is exactly why we document the condition now — it protects both the home and any future insurance claim in Clarkston, GA.
