This is the Hephzibah 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 quoteThe hurricane deductible math is a little kinder inland, but a named storm still triggers it, so the date of loss on any claim should be nailed down before filing. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Hephzibah: free, with no contract required — that's the whole point.
Georgia has no law banning assignment-of-benefits agreements the way Florida does, so read anything a roofer asks you to sign before a claim is filed — you can get an inspection and file a claim without signing away control of it.
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.
