Arizona's monsoon brings wind, dust and heavy rain every summer, and a lot of the damage is hard to see from the yard. Here is what to look for without climbing a ladder.
Look at the roofline first
Tiles sitting out of line along the eaves or ridge are the easiest sign the wind got under your roof.
Walk the yard and the driveway
Pieces of tile or ridge mortar on the ground after a storm usually mean tiles were broken or lifted.
Look for slipped or cracked tiles
Use binoculars or your phone zoom from the ground. Cracked, slipped or missing tiles all need a closer look.

We will inspect the roof for free, photograph any damage and give you a written report you can send to your insurer.
