After the storm
Damage you cannot see from the ground still leaks
Wind lifts shingles and hail bruises them. Most of it only shows up months later as a stain on the ceiling. Look for these, then let us climb up.
- Shingles in the yard or gutters
- Dark patches or bare spots on the roof
- Dents in gutters, vents or the car
- New stains on ceilings or in the attic

Reviews
Homeowners on Ridgeback
“After the hailstorm three companies knocked on our door. Ridgeback were the only ones who went into the attic. Their report got our claim approved first time.”
Carla J.Pine Hollow · Storm claim “New roof in three days, magnets over the whole lawn for nails, and the foreman texted photos every evening. Could not ask for more.”
Ben O.Granite Falls · Re-roof “They told me I did not need a new roof yet, just two repairs. Honest roofers exist.”

FAQ
Roofing questions
Is the storm inspection really free?
Yes. After a named storm or hail event, inspections are free with no obligation. You keep the photo report whether or not you use us.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
It depends on your policy and the damage. We cannot promise an outcome, but our report gives your insurer clear evidence, and we meet the adjuster on site so nothing is missed.
How long does a new roof take?
Most homes take two to four days. We tarp and protect the house every night, and we will not strip a slope if rain is forecast.
Do you do emergency tarping?
Yes. If water is coming in, we tarp the roof within 24 hours to stop further damage, then plan the repair.
What does the warranty cover?
Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers leaks or failures caused by how we installed the roof. Materials are covered separately by the manufacturer.
