Roof systems
Shingles, flashing, membrane, vents, decking, and rooftop equipment may show different wind or impact signatures.
Damage claim support
Connect exterior impact, interior water entry, and code-compliant repairs in one defensible claim.
Hurricanes, windstorms, hail, trees
Hurricanes, windstorms, tornadoes, hail, and falling trees can create a chain of damage across the roof, exterior envelope, interior finishes, contents, and site. Hillis examines how the event moved through the property instead of treating each symptom in isolation.
Where the loss can travel
Shingles, flashing, membrane, vents, decking, and rooftop equipment may show different wind or impact signatures.
Siding, windows, doors, gutters, trim, and sealants can fail and allow water into concealed assemblies.
Falling limbs and airborne debris can create structural, site, fencing, vehicle, and utility damage.
Ceiling stains may be only the visible end of wet insulation, wall cavities, flooring, and contents damage.
First moves
Photograph the property from the ground and avoid unsafe roof access.
Arrange temporary protection to prevent additional water entry.
Save damaged shingles, siding, gutters, and other materials when practical.
Record storm timing, weather alerts, power loss, and emergency expenses.
What Hillis documents
Common claim pressure points
A small repair scope may overlook repairability, matching, surrounding damage, and manufacturer requirements.
Interior stains can be separated from the storm unless the exterior opening and moisture path are documented.
Prompt photos, weather records, and inspection findings help connect damage to the reported storm date.
