Will my insurance cover my roof?

Yes. Storm and hail damage is often invisible from the ground - bruised shingles, cracked mats, and lifted seals can leak months later. We provide a free, no-obligation roof inspection with photo documentation. If we find damage, we explain your repair, replacement, and insurance options clearly.
