Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Hail dents, lifted shingle seals, cracked ridge caps, and bruised shingle mats don't show up from the driveway. Our HAAG-trained inspectors get on the roof and check every slope, every flashing detail, and every penetration point.
Eckerman Roofing & Maintenance includes HAAG Certified Inspectors on every storm damage assessment. HAAG certification is the insurance industry standard for forensic roof inspection. Adjusters trust our reports because they follow the same methodology the carriers use.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Damage Assessment
Within 48 hours of the storm, our inspector is on your Eckerman roof. We check for hail impact, wind-driven shingle lift, cracked ridge caps, and any penetration failures. A full photo report is provided regardless of whether damage is found.
Claim Documentation
Our office prepares the claim package: photo evidence, damage scope, material specifications, and repair estimate in Xactimate format. We file with your carrier and track the claim through to adjuster assignment.
Meet the Adjuster
Your adjuster gets a guided tour of the damage by our inspector. We speak the same language: hail hit classification, wind speed thresholds, manufacturer warranties voided by damage. This meeting is where claims get approved.
Repair or Replace
We handle the work and coordinate final inspection with your carrier if required. After completion, you get before-and-after documentation and your warranty paperwork. The entire process, from storm to finished roof, managed by Eckerman Roofing & Maintenance.
