Don’t miss the small details that can make or break a hail damage evaluation.

Use this field-ready checklist to guide each site visit - what to look for, where to document, and what to photograph (roof + exterior).
What's Inside

A step-by-step walk-around you can run every time

Arrive early + walk the site

Neighborhood assessment (siding, screens, surrounding context)

Vegetation, window screens/shutters, AC unit, fences/deck, utility box covers

Note component thicknesses (siding, downspouts, gutters, fascia)

Roof notes to capture (slope, size, age/condition, material/manufacturer, vents)

Photo guidance (close-ups with and without damage)

Questions to ask (including who was on the roof and why they believe it’s hail damage)

Our Approach

Objective, repeatable, field-ready

This checklist is built around a simple idea: consistent methods produce more defensible outcomes. It walks you through the same on-site sequence every time, so observations are documented clearly and supporting context is captured before you leave the property. Use it to reduce missed details, improve photo documentation, and keep your evaluation process organized under real-world time constraints.
