Wind Damage Roof Expert
Wind damage often starts at the edges and corners: perimeter metal, flashings and the attachment of the roof membrane or panels. Blake documents what the wind did and what was already there.
Blake goes after only legitimate wind damage. Reports tie damage to storm-date evidence and specific roof sections, and separate it from age, wear and installation issues. If the roof doesn't support a claim, he'll say so.
