How PRQ documents Storm Damage (Photos, Measurements & Notes)

At PRQ, thorough documentation is the backbone of our storm restoration process.

Whether you’re meeting with an insurance adjuster or just trying to understand the condition of your property, our goal is to arm you with the clearest, most accurate in

📸 High-Quality Photos

We take detailed photos of:

  • Hail strikes or wind damage to shingles

  • Creased or lifted tabs

  • Damaged gutters, downspouts, and vents

  • Evidence of granule loss

  • Window screens, siding, AC units, and other collateral areas

All photos are timestamped and geotagged for authenticity, and they’re stored in your customer file for future reference.

📐 Digital Measurements

We use tools like EagleView, Hover, or manual measurement apps to gather:

  • Roof pitch and square footage

  • Facet-by-facet measurements

  • Gutter and siding dimensions

These details allow us to accurately estimate the scope of work and prepare for your material order later in the process.

📝 Inspection Notes

Our team also logs internal notes on:

  • The age and material of your current roof

  • Potential code upgrade requirements

  • Any visible decking issues or soft spots

  • Interior signs of leaks (if applicable)

These notes are shared with your Claims Pro and Account Manager to keep everyone aligned through the process.

✅ All this documentation is organized and accessible throughout your project—from insurance negotiations to the final install.
