Use this step-by-step photo checklist to thoroughly document all damage. Check off each item as you capture it.
Capture the entire roof from the street or property entrance. Include the full structure and address if visible. Take from multiple angles.
Photograph a section of the roof with no damage to establish a baseline. This proves the difference between normal wear and storm damage.
For each damage zone, take a wide photo showing the area in context. Show the location on the roof relative to ridges, valleys, or edges.
Photograph each impact/damage point up close. Place a ruler, chalk circle, or coin next to the damage for scale reference.
Document all flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and pipes. Look for lifted, dented, or separated flashing.
Photograph gutters for dents, granule buildup, and dislodged sections. Check downspouts for impact damage and document any hail splatter marks.
Check for water stains on ceilings, attic leaks, daylight through the roof deck, and wet insulation. Document every instance with photos.
Document damage to garages, sheds, fences, siding, window screens, and AC units. Surrounding damage supports the storm damage claim.
