Hail Damage Roof Inspection in DeSoto, TX: Counting Hits Slope by Slope

Roof ridge and chimney at the start of a hail inspection in DeSoto, TX

Count the chalk circles: each one is a hail hit. On this DeSoto roof our inspector worked slope by slope, circled every hail impact on the shingles and wrote the hit count for each slope right on the roof.

The roof before we start

Wide shots from the ridge record each slope, the chimney and the roof vents before any marking begins.
