01
Free storm damage inspection
A trained specialist reviews visible and roof-level conditions, then explains whether repair, monitoring or replacement review is appropriate.
Storm damage and claim help
Wind, hail or a new leak? Start with documentation.
SummitShield inspects storm-related roof conditions, prepares photo records and helps homeowners understand repair scope before, during and after an insurance claim conversation.
What we look for
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground.
Missing shingles are easy to see. Lifted tabs, bruised shingles, flashing movement, punctures and small leak paths usually need a closer roof assessment.
- Wind damage Creased shingles, lifted edges, exposed fasteners and loosened ridge or hip caps.
- Hail impact Granule loss, bruising, fractured mats and collateral marks on gutters or soft metals.
- Leak tracing Interior stains, attic moisture, pipe boots, valleys and flashing details reviewed together.
- Hidden issues Underlayment, decking softness and ventilation problems that may affect repair planning.
If water is actively entering the home, request emergency mitigation first. Permanent repair planning can follow once the interior is protected.
Claim-support workflow
Clear records, clean scope, steady communication.
We assist with roof documentation and repair planning. Your insurance carrier makes coverage decisions, and SummitShield does not act as legal counsel or as the insurer.
02
Photo documentation and notes
Images, damage locations and roof measurements are organized so the homeowner has a practical record of what was found.
03
Scope preparation
SummitShield prepares a repair or restoration scope based on roof condition, code requirements and manufacturer installation standards.
04
Project manager coordination
Once work is approved and scheduled, a project manager coordinates materials, crew timing, homeowner updates and closeout documentation.
Storm claim questions
A few details matter after severe weather.
Timelines, deductibles and emergency repairs vary by policy and state. The safest move is to document the condition quickly and keep records organized.
How soon should I request an inspection after hail or wind?
As soon as practical, especially if neighbors are reporting roof damage or you see missing shingles, leaks or debris impact. Faster documentation helps preserve condition details.
Do I still pay my deductible?
Deductible rules are set by your policy and applicable law. SummitShield can help explain the project scope, but deductible obligations should be confirmed with your carrier.
What happens if the claim is approved?
Your project manager reviews the approved scope, confirms material choices, schedules production and documents the completed repair or replacement.
Can you help with temporary emergency repairs?
In active service markets, emergency mitigation may be available or coordinated when water entry needs immediate attention before permanent repair work begins.
