This is the Savannah page for free hail damage roof inspection. The short version: you want to check the roof after a storm without signing anything, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out.
On cost: free, with no contract required — that's the whole point.
Coastal counties (Chatham, Bryan, Effingham) carry separate named-storm and hurricane deductibles, similar in concept to Florida's, that only apply once the National Hurricane Center issues a watch or warning for the area.
How it works
A contract that locks you into using that roofer if the claim is approved. It's legal in Texas, but you don't need one to get an inspection or file a claim, and signing one before the claim is scoped gives away your leverage.
Quarter-size and up can bruise standard shingles, especially older ones. Golf-ball and larger damages almost any roof. Smaller hail rarely does, no matter what the door-knocker says.

Savannah is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
