How we documented hail damage on a Milton roof - narrated summary of this page.
This Milton roof told its story in the details. We photographed every one of them.
The short version of this case file, read by Inspector Roofing narrator Dana Brooks.
A Milton roof took the storm head-on. The homeowner wanted the truth before any claim. Adjusters see dozens of roofs a week. They can’t argue with a field of hail bruising matted into the shingle granule bed – measured, photographed, and handed to the homeowner. That is the whole fight: documentation versus opinion. Documentation wins. No pressure, no promises – just the file, start to finish.
A field of hail bruising matted into the shingle granule bed.
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.
The inspection is free and the report is yours to keep – we photographed a field of hail bruising matted into the shingle granule bed and mapped it slope by slope.
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.
If this sounds like your roof, call us. The inspection is free, the report is yours, and if you don’t need work we’ll say so.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
