Impacts Mapped
Hits marked by roof area on a plan, with close and wide photographs.
Every impact mapped for the claim. The whole roof walked after the storm, damage marked on a roof plan section by section, and a scope your adjuster can price.
Hail rarely punches a hole in a commercial roof that you can see. It bruises membrane, dents metal and cracks brittle surfaces, and water finds the damage months later, often after the claim window has narrowed.
Big Easy Roofing Company surveys commercial roofs across New Orleans after hail: single-ply, modified bitumen, built-up and metal. Impacts are marked and photographed, rooftop equipment and edge metal are checked, and the damage is laid out for your adjuster.
Where hail has done more than surface damage across the whole roof, the scope may point to a commercial roof replacement, and the photographs show why.
Hits marked by roof area on a plan, with close and wide photographs.
Findings are shown to the adjuster in person. The claim stays between you and your carrier.
Where hail has broken through, the opening is covered the same day.
Most commercial hail damage is found on the roof, not from the parking lot. These clues say it is worth a survey.
Stones that size in the parking lot mean membranes and metal up top took a beating too.
Fins and housings on HVAC units dent easily. Damage there tells you what the membrane beside them went through.
Round dents on metal roofs, wall panels and edge metal record the size of the hail and the side it came from.
Hail can fracture a membrane without leaving a visible hole, especially an older sheet that has lost its flexibility.
On modified bitumen, bare black patches and granules collecting at drains mean impacts stripped the surface.
Cracked membrane often holds for a while. A stain after the next heavy rain can trace back to the storm.

Book a free surveyOne storm, four roof systems, four kinds of damage.
Fractures and punctures, most likely on older TPO, PVC or EPDM that has stiffened in the sun. Seams near impacts are checked too.
Granules knocked off and the mat bruised underneath, leaving it open to sunlight and cracking.
Gravel absorbs a lot, but exposed areas and flashings can split. Damage is checked where the gravel is thin.
Dents that may be cosmetic, and broken coatings or loosened fasteners that are not.
Many commercial policies treat dents on metal as cosmetic. The survey separates functional damage from marks ahead of any claim decision.
A hail bill can be a handful of patches or a full tear-off. Here is what tips it one way or the other.
Scattered impacts are a repair. Damage across every section usually means replacement.
Membranes, modified bitumen, built-up and metal each repair differently.
Measured in squares, with the access and staging a large building needs.
An approved claim covers much of the bill, minus the deductible.
Phased work that keeps the building open is planned into the price.
Every line of the scope is itemized, so your carrier and our crew work from one set of numbers. Prefer email to a phone call? Use the contact page.
Free, photographed, and ready for your carrier.
After hail the offers come quickly. These rows separate a careful scope from a storm-season pitch.

Talk to a roofer504-229-3955Dents on rooftop units, vents and gutters, and granules in the drains, are the first clues. The membrane itself needs someone on the roof, which is why the survey is free.
Policies set their own deadlines, and a few are tight. A prompt survey captures the evidence before weather muddies it.
Yes. Fractured membrane and bruised modified bitumen can hold for weeks, then leak once heat and rain open the damage.
Yes. Our crew walks the roof alongside them and supplies photographs, measurements and a scope. Settling the claim is up to you and your carrier, or a public adjuster you choose to hire. More detail sits on our insurance claims page.
Yes. Hail repairs and replacements are phased so only the section being worked on is open, and it is closed before the crew leaves.
That depends on the survey. Isolated impacts get repaired. Damage across the whole roof usually means replacement, and the photos show your carrier why.
Name and phone are enough. We call back the same business day.
