Hail
Dents on vents, gutters, flashing, or other soft metals can help decide whether closer review is worthwhile.
Wind
Lifted, creased, shifted, or missing shingles may not be obvious from the driveway.
Leaks
Ceiling staining or attic moisture after a storm window should be documented before it spreads.
Questions Bend property owners ask
Should I climb on the roof to check hail damage?
No. Use ground-level observations, interior leak signs, and safe photos only. A professional can decide whether roof access is appropriate.
Can this guarantee insurance coverage?
No. The page is for an inspection-call request and triage. Coverage, claim decisions, and replacement scope depend on policy language, observed damage, documentation, and insurer review.
What signs matter after hail or wind?
Dented gutters or vents, granule buildup near downspouts, bruised or lifted shingles, ceiling stains, active leaks, skylight damage, and debris impact areas can all be worth documenting.
