Wind, hail, and falling limbs hit McDonough roofs every season. What you do in the first 48 hours decides how the next six months go: document the damage before anything moves, then let the photos — not a salesperson — tell you whether you need a repair, a replacement, or just peace of mind.
After a McDonough storm: photograph what you can from the ground, stay off the roof, and get a documented inspection before any cleanup or signing. Our storm inspection is free, and the dated, labeled photo file is yours — it protects you whether the answer is a targeted repair, an insurance claim, or a clean bill of health.
Most McDonough storm damage we document lands in one of three buckets: repair now (isolated shingle, flashing, or vent damage), document and monitor (cosmetic marks with no functional damage — we say so and show why), or replacement (widespread functional damage, usually through insurance). Each path starts at the same place: the photo file.
How soon can you inspect after a McDonough storm?
Storm events get triaged by active leaks first. Call (678) 287-7169 and we will give you the real timeline — usually within days, not weeks.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Your carrier decides coverage under your policy. Our job is making the condition of your roof provable — dated, labeled, slope-by-slope — so the decision is based on evidence. We do not act as public adjusters.
Should I tarp before the inspection?
Active interior water entry needs emergency mitigation — tell us when you call. Otherwise, photograph first and leave the field undisturbed for documentation.
One free inspection produces the dated photo file that drives every good decision after a storm — repair, claim, or clean bill of health.

After a McDonough storm, the first truck on your street is usually a sales operation. The first thing your roof actually needs is documentation: HAAG-certified assessment, storm-day photographs, and a written determination. Inspector Roofing and Restoration — part of 4,700+ documented projects across metro Atlanta, a perfect 5.0-star Google rating, BBB A+ since 2019 — builds the evidence file first, then tells you honestly whether you have a claim, a repair, or nothing at all.
Stay off the roof, photograph what you can from the ground, and call (678) 287-7169 for a documented inspection. Avoid signing anything at the door — a real assessment comes with labeled photos you keep, whether or not you have a claim.
Storm chasers sell contingencies; we produce evidence. A contingency contract signed at the door locks you in before anyone has proven damage. Our inspection proves or disproves the damage first — then you choose freely with the photos in hand.
When it meets your carrier’s criteria, yes. Lifted, creased, and missing shingles are documented per slope with photos and measurements. If the wear is cosmetic or age-related, we tell you that instead — your file shows exactly which it is.
Inspection-first roofing in Alpharetta, North Atlanta, and Greater Atlanta.
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.
