## Price

Pricing varies by scope — no published range; free on-site assessment.

## What's included

- Same-week on-site assessment after a storm, prioritized over routine work
- Clear documentation distinguishing sudden storm damage from pre-existing moss/age-related wear — the distinction that determines whether insurance covers it
- Time-stamped photos of all damage before any repair begins, in the format adjusters expect
- Temporary protection (tarping) where a repair can't happen immediately and further water intrusion is a risk
- A written repair scope you can hand directly to your insurance adjuster
- Coordination availability for the adjuster's own site visit if requested
- Full repair once the scope is agreed, with before/after documentation
- A copy of all documentation for your own insurance file

## Process

01. **Call right after the storm** - We prioritize storm-damage assessments over routine scheduling — the sooner damage is documented, the stronger your claim position.
02. **Document before repairing** - Time-stamped photos of every damaged area, with a clear note on what's sudden storm damage versus what was already there — insurers look for exactly this distinction.
03. **Temporary protection if needed** - If a full repair can't happen immediately, we tarp exposed areas so the damage doesn't get worse while your claim is processed.
04. **Repair and final documentation** - Once the scope is agreed with you (and your insurer, if filing a claim), we complete the repair and give you before/after photos for your file.

## When it's needed

- Missing, torn, or visibly lifted shingles or shakes right after a windstorm
- A new leak that started during or immediately after a storm
- Visible debris impact damage (fallen branches, hail)
- Flashing torn loose or visibly bent by wind
- Uncertainty about whether damage is storm-related or pre-existing wear
- Need for insurance-ready documentation before filing a claim

## FAQ

**Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof in Washington?**

Typically, yes — sudden wind or storm damage is generally a covered event under standard WA homeowners policies. The key distinction insurers look for is whether the damage was sudden (a windstorm tore off shingles) versus gradual (moss-trapped moisture that was already compromising the roof before the storm). We document which applies to your situation from the first visit.

**What should I do first after storm damage?**

Secure the property from further water intrusion if you safely can, photograph everything with time-stamped images before anything is moved or repaired, and call us or your insurer promptly — delayed documentation is one of the most common reasons a claim gets disputed.

**Will you work directly with my insurance adjuster?**

Yes. We can provide documentation directly usable by your adjuster and make ourselves available for their site visit if you'd like a second set of eyes on the damage assessment.

**What if the damage turns out to be mostly moss-related, not storm-related?**

We'll tell you honestly. Moss-driven deterioration is typically not a covered event, and claiming storm damage for what's actually long-term wear can jeopardize your claim. We document the real cause either way — it's better to know before you file than after a denial.
