A Bias-Free Roof Inspection
Roof Inspection After a Storm
At Roof RX, we believe one of the most potentially devastating dangers to your home isn’t the severe storm, but what comes next: An onslaught of storm-chasing roof contractors who knock doors, instill fear, peddle “free inspections” and pressure well-meaning homeowners into everything from unnecessary replacements to borderline insurance fraud.
Don’t fall prey to storm chasers. Get The Truth on the Roof instead.
We don’t like to bad talk anyone, but a lot of the roofing contractors who flood neighborhoods after a storm do not have your best interest at heart. They’re more interested in pressuring you and your insurance company into a replacement that makes them a quick buck – and costs you more than you know.
01
“Free inspections” are worth exactly what you pay for them
An honest roofing contractor will tell you: a roofer’s “free inspection” is sometimes just a sales tool – a pitch designed to find or fabricate enough damage for the contractor to win a roofing job.
02
Roof RX: A Prescription, not a Pitch.
We are an independent data company with no roofing contracts to sell, so we never shade findings to favor any party. Instead, we let our drone-acquired data set, professional annotation and Credentialed, in-the-blind assessment provide unbiased Truth on the Roof to align property owners, insurers and contractors. That way, neither the carrier nor the insured gets harmed by exaggeration, denial, or sloppy work.
The Truth on the Roof
Before you make any decision, you need to know the actual, honest-to-God truth about the condition of your roof. The only way to achieve that is with a 100% impartial inspection – one where the inspectors themselves don’t know who ordered the report. An independent assessment gives you leverage.

What is a “Trust Document”?
Your Roof RX Trust Document is the centralized, unifying source of all information regarding your roof’s condition. It includes everything from your high-resolution aerial images, annotations and Credentialed professional assessment to the prescription for repairs, verification of repairs and much more.
Better yet, when you use Roof RX year after year, the Trust Document becomes a verifiable roof record, for use in negotiating ideal insurance premiums, documenting warranty issues and estimating the economic lifespan of the structure protecting your most valuable possession.
Human-Piloted Drone Flights
4/3 Drone Sensor Cameras flown by veteran pilots within three feet of the roof surface, capturing granule-level documentation – not zip-code-level guesswork.
Human Annotation
Attentive, professional, AI-assisted review of thousands of high-resolution images to document damage, wear and tear.
Independent, Credentialed Assessment
Entirely in-the-blind assessment documents all findings – hail damage, wind damage, wear, manufacturer defects, and more.
Prescription
Decide what to do next with clear, defensible guidance on specific actions: repair, maintain, monitor, or replace, with priority levels and standards. Provides historical record to prove condition.
You don't need someone with another opinion. You need an independent source of Truth on the Roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Roof RX respond after a storm?
Roof RX deploys drone captures as quickly as conditions allow after a storm passes. Our telecom-grade pilot network covers the continental US. Contact us immediately after a storm event to schedule your capture within the earliest available window. We can dispatch drone captures within 72 hours and provide Full Prescriptions within 7-10 days.
Should I file an insurance claim before or after the Roof RX inspection?
Get your Roof RX assessment first. Having independent, Credentialed documentation of the damage before filing gives you defensible evidence from day one. The Trust Document and Prescription provide the carrier with clear, unbiased findings – a far stronger foundation for your claim than a contractor’s estimate.
What if Roof RX finds no storm damage?
That’s genuinely good news. The Trust Document confirms your roof’s condition with Credentialed documentation, protecting you from unnecessary repairs that storm-chasing contractors might recommend. You’ll have defensible evidence that your roof is intact – useful for your insurance company’s records and your peace of mind.
How do I protect myself from storm chasers after a storm?
Get an independent Roof RX assessment before engaging with any contractor. Storm chasers offer “free inspections” designed to sell you a roof – often inflating damage or creating urgency. A Roof RX In-the-Blind assessment tells you exactly what’s true, so you can make decisions from knowledge instead of pressure.
What does hail damage look like on a roof?
Hail impacts create small dents that crack the shingle surface and expose the underlying substrate. This damage is often invisible from the ground. Roof RX drones capture at three feet with 4/3 sensor cameras to detect granule-level damage that ground inspections and automated aerial tools consistently miss.
