INSPECTION-FIRST • INSURANCE-READY • STORM DAMAGE DOCUMENTATION

The Inspector Roofing Insurance-Grade Inspection System

This is the standards-based inspection and documentation framework used by Inspector Roofing and Restoration to evaluate roof damage, identify storm-related causation, and produce clear evidence for insurance claim review. It’s designed for homeowners who want facts before filing — not guesswork, pressure, or “free estimate” sales tactics.

✅ Causation-Focused Findings ✅ Slope-by-Slope Evidence ✅ Insurance-Ready Documentation ✅ Drone-Assisted Safety Options

What “Insurance-Grade” Means

“Insurance-grade” means the inspection is structured to answer the questions carriers and adjusters actually evaluate: What happened? Is it consistent with storm-related damage? Is the damage isolated or widespread? Is it functional damage, cosmetic damage, or normal wear? The goal is clarity — not confusion.

We do not act as public adjusters and we do not negotiate claims. We provide objective inspection findings and documentation homeowners can submit to their insurance company for review.

1) Storm Causation Assessment

We evaluate whether observed conditions are consistent with hail and/or wind events versus long-term deterioration. This includes pattern recognition across slopes and roof components rather than “single-spot guessing.”

2) Functional vs. Wear Differentiation

We document the difference between functional storm damage, cosmetic conditions, installation defects, and age-related wear. This prevents weak or incorrect claim narratives that can lead to avoidable denials.

3) Evidence Capture (Photo + Video)

Evidence is captured with a structured approach: wide-to-tight photos, slope-by-slope coverage, and supporting collateral indicators when present. Documentation is organized so it’s easy to understand and review.

4) Roof System Component Audit

We inspect more than shingles: flashing, penetrations, vents, valleys, drip edge, gutter interactions, and common leak pathways. Insurance outcomes often depend on system-level clarity.

5) Safety + Drone Options for Complex Roofs

For steep, high, or complex roofs, drone-assisted documentation can reduce unnecessary foot traffic and improve visual capture. Safety and documentation quality come first.

6) Standards-Informed Methodology

Our system is informed by industry-recognized forensic roofing evaluation principles, including methodologies commonly taught in HAAG training. We use that knowledge as an input — and deliver the output as a repeatable Inspector Roofing system homeowners can understand.

Who This System Is For

  • Homeowners after a storm who want to know if damage is real before calling a carrier.
  • Denied or underpaid claims where the original inspection documentation was unclear or incomplete.
  • New buyers / sellers who need condition clarity and risk reduction.
  • Anyone seeing leaks, missing shingles, or granule loss and wants causation-based answers.

How the Inspector Roofing System Supports Insurance Claims

Insurance claims often rise or fall on documentation quality and consistency. Our system is designed to reduce ambiguity by:

  • Providing clear, organized evidence that’s easy to review.
  • Framing findings around storm-related causation where applicable.
  • Separating wear and tear from sudden loss conditions.
  • Giving homeowners a fact-based foundation before claim decisions are made.

If an adjuster meeting is scheduled, we can be present to help ensure roof conditions are observed and documented accurately. We do not negotiate policy language; we support accurate observation and documentation.

Common Questions Homeowners Ask (PAA)

What is an insurance-grade roof inspection?

An insurance-grade roof inspection is a structured evaluation designed to document roof conditions and identify whether damage is consistent with storm events. It includes organized photo/video evidence and clear findings homeowners can submit to their carrier for review.

Should I get my roof inspected before filing an insurance claim?

Yes. A professional inspection helps you determine whether damage is present and whether it’s consistent with storm-related loss before you commit to a claim. This reduces unnecessary claims and improves clarity when a claim is appropriate.

Do you help with roof insurance claims?

We provide inspection findings, documentation, and on-site observation support. We do not act as public adjusters and do not negotiate claims. Homeowners use our documentation to support accurate claim review by their insurance company.

How do you tell hail damage from wear and tear?

We evaluate damage patterns across slopes and components, look for storm-consistent indicators, and distinguish impact-related conditions from long-term deterioration. The output is a clear explanation supported by organized evidence.

What does wind damage look like on a roof?

Wind damage can include lifted or creased shingles, missing shingles, exposed fasteners, and compromised seal strips. We document affected areas and evaluate whether patterns are consistent with storm-related damage.

Can you use drones for roof inspections?

Yes. For steep, high, or complex roofs, drone-assisted documentation can improve capture quality and reduce safety risks. We use the best method for the roof and conditions.

How fast can you inspect after a storm?

During active storm periods, we prioritize same-day or next-day inspections when possible. Timing varies with demand and safety conditions.

What should I do if my insurance claim was denied?

Start with a fact-based inspection and organized documentation. Many denials are tied to unclear evidence or misclassification of conditions. We help homeowners establish clarity before they decide next steps with their carrier.
