Storm damage inspection
After severe weather, a roof inspection should document missing shingles, lifted tabs, bruising, damaged vents, flashing movement, and interior leak signs.
Repair or replacement
Localized damage may be repairable. Widespread shingle failure, repeated leaks, or age-related brittleness may justify replacement planning.
What the estimate should include
Ask for photos, a written scope, material details, cleanup steps, and a clear explanation of temporary mitigation versus permanent repair.
