Forest Hills storm-damage roof repair from a roofer with a local address, not an out-of-state plate.

Historic homes often have low-slope additions that take water first; that's where to look after a storm.
Pre-1980 attachment methods fail first in high wind, which is why so many storm replacements on older homes include clips.
Building code in coastal counties was tightened after Hurricane Florence; a replacement roof built to current wind provisions can mean a real difference at renewal, not just a formality.

How it works
Storm damage on an older roof gets contested as pre-existing wear unless the documentation clearly separates the two — dated photos before the tarp goes on matter here more than anywhere. Historic homes often have low-slope additions that take water first; that's where to look after a storm.
From aerial measurement of your specific roof, the home's age (built before 1980), and what you tell us. It's a number for your house, not an average for the neighborhood.
If the repair is near your deductible, pay for it — a claim on your record costs you at renewal. If it's a full replacement, file. Get the inspection first so you know which situation you're in.
