Storm season in Richland brings two things: real roof damage, and out-of-state crews with magnetic door signs. We are the ones still here in November.
Be careful who you sign with
Every hail event brings crews from out of state. Before you sign: confirm licensing and insurance in your jurisdiction, never assign your claim to a contractor, avoid large up-front deposits, and walk away from anyone offering to waive or absorb your deductible — in many states that is fraud, and it implicates the homeowner too.
Storm damage and insurance
Most roofs in this area are replaced because of a storm rather than age alone. Claims turn on documentation gathered while the damage is fresh, which is why our inspection report is written the way an adjuster reads one — slope by slope, with soft metals and measurements included. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is there.
How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
If it is an emergency right now
Call and a person will answer, day or night. For active water we protect first — tarping documented with photographs taken before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone — then schedule the permanent repair.

Frequently asked questions
- How long do I have to file a claim?
- Policies set their own reporting deadlines and many are shorter than homeowners expect. Because hail damage is invisible from the ground, roofs often get inspected after the window has closed.
- How do I know if I have hail damage?
- You usually cannot tell from the ground. Hail fractures the mat under the granules rather than punching a hole. A proper inspection also checks soft metals — gutters, vents, screens, AC fins — which help date the event.
- Will filing a claim raise my rates?
- That is your carrier's decision, and a widespread storm event is treated differently than an at-fault claim. Ask your agent directly, and be skeptical of any contractor who answers that for you.
- Do you do emergency tarping?
- Yes, 24 hours a day. We stop the water first and photograph the damage before covering it.
