Questions people ask before they send a request
How do I describe a roof problem I cannot get close to?
Describe what you can see from the ground and what you noticed indoors. Note the roof covering if you know it, the part of the building you are worried about, and when you first saw it. Add any ceiling or wall staining. Do not climb a damaged, wet or steep roof for a better view.
What can I record about a Jacksonville roof without going up there?
Quite a lot. Take dated photos from the ground on every side of the building, and interior photos of any ceiling or wall staining. Add the date of the storm if there was one, and any paperwork from earlier work. Do not climb a damaged, wet or steep roof, and stay clear of downed power lines.
Does hail always leave damage you can see from the ground?
No. The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one able to produce hail an inch or larger or wind gusts over 58 mph, and hail that size can mark roofs, vents, gutters and vehicles. Write the storm date down and photograph what you can reach safely, then leave the roof itself to a qualified person.
Who decides whether the roof gets repaired or replaced?
The roofer who inspects it decides, on site. This website does not inspect roofs, diagnose damage, quote work or set a scope. Send what you can see and what you already have on paper, and take the repair or replace answer from the provider who looks at the roof and signs the contract.
What local conditions should a Jacksonville request mention?
Coastal wind, heavy rain, strong sun and tropical weather can expose weak roof details around Jacksonville. Write down the part of that pattern you can see at the property, with the room, the material and the date you noticed it. Local detail helps a provider judge access before a visit.
