Since 2016, 4 storms that met severe-weather criteria were recorded at or near this property (hail 1 inch or larger, or wind gusts of 58 mph or more).
The largest hail on record was 1.75 in on May 19, 2025, about the size of a golf ball.
A storm on record shows weather at or near your address. It doesn’t mean your roof was damaged, and it doesn’t mean your insurance company will accept that storm or date. That’s why an inspection is worth having: a roofing professional looks at the roof itself.

Why storm history matters
Storm records show the weather. An inspection shows your roof.
Two different questions, two different answers. Knowing which is which keeps you in control of every decision that follows.
What storm history tells you
- Dates of significant hail and wind at or near your address
- The hail sizes and wind speeds on record
- Whether each size is a radar estimate or a nearby storm report
- Whether an inspection is worth considering
What an inspection tells you
- A close look at your shingles, flashing, and vents
- Whether there’s storm damage, normal wear, or both
- Photos of what the inspector found
- What, if anything, needs attention now
What neither one does
- File an insurance claim
- Decide whether you should file one
- Decide what your insurance covers or pays
- Commit you to repairs or a new roof
- Share your information with multiple contractors
Roof damage doesn’t automatically mean you should file an insurance claim either. That depends on your policy, your deductible, and the extent of any damage — and the decision is always yours.
The professional inspection
A free inspection that answers the real question.
Storm records show the weather near your home. A physical inspection is a close look at the roof itself. It’s free to you, with no obligation.
- Before
You pick the time
Choose a day and arrival window that works for you. You’ll see the name of your roofing partner before the appointment.
- During
About 45–60 minutes
A roofing professional examines the roof surface, flashing, vents, gutters, and soft metals — and the attic, if you’d like.
- After
Photos and plain answers
You get photos and a clear explanation: storm damage, normal wear, or a healthy roof. What happens next is your call.
If you file a claim, even after an inspection, your insurance company decides what’s covered and what it pays. Roof Inspectors and our roofing partners can’t make that decision or promise an outcome.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask us
Does a storm in my history mean my roof is damaged?
No. Storm history shows the weather recorded at or near your address: dates, hail sizes, and wind speeds. Whether that weather damaged your roof depends on the roof’s age, material, slope, and condition. Only a physical inspection looks at the roof itself.
Does checking my storm history file an insurance claim?
No. Checking your storm history doesn’t contact your insurance company or file anything. Requesting an inspection doesn’t file a claim either. Roof Inspectors doesn’t file claims for homeowners and doesn’t decide whether you should — that decision is always yours.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection is free to you, with no obligation and nothing to sign. It’s performed by an independent roofing partner that serves your area, which pays Roof Inspectors for the request. That company may offer repairs or replacement; you’re never required to buy anything.
Will several roofing companies call me?
No. Your request goes to one local roofing partner — never a list of contractors. We don’t sell or auction your information to multiple companies, and you’ll see the name of the company before your appointment.
What happens during a roof inspection?
A roofing professional examines the roof surface, shingles, flashing, vents and other roof penetrations, gutters, and soft metals for wear and storm damage — and, with your permission, may check the attic for signs of leaks. Most inspections take about 45 to 60 minutes. You get photos and a plain-language explanation of what was found.
What counts as a “significant” storm?
We count a storm as significant when the records at or near your address show hail 1 inch or larger, wind gusts of 58 mph or more, or a tornado. Those thresholds match the National Weather Service’s definition of a severe thunderstorm. Smaller events still appear in your full report.
