Middle Georgia gets its share of spring hail and straight-line wind damage, and that's usually what sends homeowners looking for a roof inspection tied to an insurance claim. The process typically starts with a contractor climbing up to document missing shingles, granule loss, dented flashing, or soft decking, then putting together a photo report you can hand to your adjuster. Some contractors will also meet the adjuster on-site to walk the roof together and point out damage that's easy to miss from the ground.
When you're comparing companies for this kind of work, look for one that carries proper licensing and liability insurance, gives you a written scope of the damage rather than a verbal estimate, and has actually worked Macon-area claims before (adjusters get used to seeing certain contractors' reports, which can speed things along). Be wary of anyone pushing you to file a claim before they've even inspected the roof.
