Home / Storm Damage
Hail hit Wyoming County on April 29, 2025. Most roofs were never checked.
Storm damage is often invisible from the ground. A free inspection tells you what actually happened up there — in photos, not opinions.
We inspect, photograph, and give you a written, itemized estimate — and we can meet your adjuster on the roof. We never negotiate settlements, never waive or cover deductibles, and no one can promise your claim will be approved. How the claim process works →

Policies require prompt notice, and most carriers apply a one-to-two-year practical window. The April 2025 storm is inside that window today — it won’t be for much longer. See the documented hail towns →
We photograph everything, roof to gutters.
If the damage doesn’t justify a claim, we tell you so. Sometimes the answer is “your roof is fine.”
One phone call. When the adjuster comes, we’re on the roof with them, pointing at what we found.
To code, on schedule, in writing.
Straight talk on insurance claims. We inspect, photograph, and document the damage, and we give you a written, itemized estimate you can hand to your insurer — and we can meet your adjuster on the roof. Your insurance company decides what’s covered. We don’t negotiate settlements — by New York law only a licensed public adjuster or attorney can represent you in a claim. We never pay, waive, or absorb deductibles (New York GBL §771-b makes that insurance fraud), and no contractor can promise your claim will be approved.
Shingles, flashing, gutters, vents — documented the way an adjuster needs to see it.
Storm damage, plain wear, or nothing at all — you get the honest read either way.
Yours to keep and yours to hand to your insurer — if you decide to file.
From the ground: photograph anything visible — missing shingles, dented gutters, debris. Don’t climb up. Then book an inspection promptly; the longer a breach sits open, the more damage stacks up and the harder any claim gets.
For many policies, not yet. Policies require prompt notice and most carriers apply a one-to-two-year practical window — the April 29, 2025 storm is inside that window today, but it won’t be for much longer. Check your policy or ask your agent for the exact terms.
We inspect, photograph, and prepare an itemized estimate you can submit, and we’ll meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed. Your insurer decides coverage. Under New York law we don’t negotiate settlements, don’t waive deductibles, and never promise approval.
No. In New York you choose your own contractor. Your insurer decides what’s covered; who does the work is your call.
Usually: nothing. Dented gutters, downspouts, and window wraps are the ground-level tells, but shingle bruising is invisible from the yard. Here’s what hail actually does to a shingle →
It’s carrier-dependent. Claims from a widespread, documented storm event are typically treated differently than one-off claims — ask your agent how your carrier handles catastrophe claims before you file.
Free inspection, photos of everything we find, and a written estimate — the decision stays yours.
