How We Document Damage
During a free storm damage inspection we photograph each slope, mark hail hits, measure the roof, and check gutters, siding, window screens and soft metals that show impact. You receive a clear report you can share with your adjuster, and we can be present when the adjuster visits.

Common Questions
How do I know if I need a new roof or only a repair?
Isolated damage, such as a few creased shingles, is usually repairable. Widespread hail bruising, granule loss on several slopes or a roof near the end of its life often points to replacement, and we will show you the evidence either way.
Will you help me with my storm damage insurance claim?
Yes. We provide inspection photos, measurements and a written scope for your claim and can meet with your adjuster. You stay in control of the claim itself.
What siding works best in Mississippi?
Fiber cement and quality insulated vinyl both handle humidity and heat well. Fiber cement resists impact and rot; vinyl costs less and needs little upkeep. We help you compare them for your home.
Do you install gutter guards?
We do. Guards are especially helpful on lots with heavy tree cover, where gutters clog quickly and overflow during heavy rain.
