What's behind your score
Based on NWS alert records and recent local weather signals near this location. Does not confirm property damage. A licensed inspector must verify any damage on site.
Three signals, one honest answer
No fluff. We pull the same official records your insurance adjuster checks, then combine them into a single risk score so you can decide whether an on-site inspection is worth your time.
We detect your location
Your browser shares an approximate location (4-decimal precision, about 30 feet). Nothing is stored. Nothing is sent to a marketing list.
We pull official records
NWS alerts at your point for the last 14 days, plus 90 days of daily wind gusts and precipitation from NOAA's open archive.
You get a score and next steps
A 0-100 risk score, the specific signals driving it, and an honest recommendation. If the data looks clean, we tell you that too.
The four signals behind your score
Roof damage doesn't always come from a single named storm. We weight all four to catch the patterns insurance adjusters look for first.
Official NWS alerts
Tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, hurricane watches, high wind warnings - the same alerts the National Weather Service issues to emergency services. We pull the last 14 days at your exact coordinates.
Verified hail reports
Every hail event reported to the NWS by trained spotters, public observers, and NWS employees within 10 miles of your address over the last 90 days, with measured hail size. Hail at 0.75" or larger is when asphalt shingle damage starts - and 1" or larger meets the NWS severe threshold adjusters use.
Wind gust history
Daily peak wind gusts over the last 90 days from NOAA's open weather archive. Sustained gusts above 50 mph are when asphalt shingles start lifting and seals start breaking - the kind of damage you don't see from the ground.
Heavy rain events
Daily precipitation totals over the last 90 days. Heavy rain alone rarely damages a healthy roof, but stacked with wind or hail it accelerates flashing fatigue, valley wear, and gutter overflow that hides interior leaks.
Why your inspection should come from a certified inspector
A risk score is a screening tool. Confirming damage takes someone trained to read it - and most "free roof inspections" in our market are sales calls dressed up.
HAAG-certified inspection on every visit
Jim holds HAAG Certified Inspector credential #992109047, the standard insurance adjusters use to verify wind and hail damage. Most local roofers don't have this.
We document, then you decide
Photo report, damage map, repair-vs-replace recommendation. No high-pressure same-day decision. If your roof is fine, we tell you and leave.
5-year workmanship warranty on anything we install
Transferable to the next owner. Combined with Owens Corning Platinum or James Hardie Elite manufacturer warranties when applicable. See our warranties.
Named-staff claim chain, not a call center
If you need warranty work later, Jessica Commodore answers, Steve Dean (Production Manager) shows up within 2 business days, Jesus handles the repair. Same three people for every claim.
Common questions about storm damage risk
Does a high risk score mean my roof is damaged?+
No. The score reflects whether conditions for damage were present near your address in the last 90 days. It does not confirm anything happened to your specific roof. Plenty of homes ride out major storms with zero damage. Plenty of others have hidden damage from storms that looked unremarkable. Only an on-site inspection by a trained inspector can confirm whether your roof was actually affected.
What data sources does this tool use?+
Two official, free, publicly accessible sources:
National Weather Service Alerts API (api.weather.gov) - the same alert stream that powers tornado, severe thunderstorm, hurricane, and high wind warnings broadcast to your phone. We pull alerts within the last 14 days at your exact coordinates.
NOAA Open-Meteo Archive (archive-api.open-meteo.com) - daily maximum wind gusts and precipitation totals for the last 90 days, derived from weather stations and gridded reanalysis data.
How accurate is the location detection?+
Your browser shares an approximate location at 4-decimal precision, which is roughly a 30-foot grid. That's accurate enough to pull the correct NWS alert zone and weather station readings. The location is used for the lookup only - we do not store it, send it to marketing platforms, or share it with third parties.
Where does the hail data come from?+
Every hail report is a verified NWS Local Storm Report (LSR) - submitted by trained storm spotters, NWS employees, emergency managers, and public observers, then quality-checked by the NWS forecast office. We pull them from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, which mirrors the NWS LSR archive in real time.
Each report includes the date, time, measured hail size in inches, exact lat/lon, and source. We pull all reports within 10 miles of your address over the last 90 days. Reports of 0.75" hail or larger are flagged - that's the threshold where asphalt shingles start taking damage.
My score is low. Should I still get inspected?+
If you have visible signs - missing shingles, water stains on the ceiling, granules collecting in gutters, lifted or curled shingles visible from the ground - yes, get an inspection regardless of the score. The score is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Older roofs (15+ years) are also worth inspecting annually independent of storm activity.
Will an insurance adjuster see the same data?+
Adjusters use NWS alert history and NOAA storm event records routinely - this tool surfaces the same publicly available record. Your adjuster will additionally pull Storm Prediction Center hail-track data and an on-site inspection. If you file a claim, your own documentation (photos, dates, the HAAG-certified inspection report we provide) carries far more weight than this screening score.
Is the inspection actually free?+
Yes, with no obligation. We document what we find with photos and a written report. If your roof needs work, we'll give you a written estimate. If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that and recommend when to check it next. We don't charge for the inspection and we don't push same-day decisions.
Which counties do you serve?+
Maryland: Calvert, Anne Arundel, St. Mary's, Charles, Prince George's, Howard, Montgomery. Northern Virginia: Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, Fredericksburg area. See our full service-area map for every city we cover.
