Storm & Hail Damage in Woodstock, GA
Woodstock holds both ends of this market's hail record: the biggest day anyone here has on file, and the most recent significant one. They are twenty-seven years apart.
The largest day on record, and the most recent one, are both this town
The National Centers for Environmental Information narrative for 7 May 1998 names Woodstock directly: softball-size hail, four full inches, across southern Cherokee County, damaging cars and RVs, with skylights and glass panels damaged and destroyed at a hardware store here. It is the largest hail day in the thirty-year record for this market. And the most recent significant hail anywhere in the county record is also here — 2.50 inches on 10 April 2025, which is inside the window most homeowners are still thinking about. That pairing is the whole argument for having a roof looked at in this town specifically: the catastrophic event is a once-in-a-generation thing, and the damaging-but-invisible event is not. A 2.50-inch stone will not put a hole in a shingle. It will knock the granules off in a circle and bruise the mat underneath, and you will not see that from your driveway. If your roof was here in April 2025, it is worth forty-five minutes.
What we do, and what we cannot do, is the same in every town
We inspect the roof at no charge and tell you plainly what we see. We document it with dated photographs and a written scope. We meet your adjuster at your home and walk the roof at the same time they do. We give you and your carrier the identical documents. What we do not do is act as your public adjuster or your representative with your insurance company — that is licensed work in Georgia. And we cannot reduce your deductible in any form, in any amount, for any reason: Georgia law makes that a crime for both of us. Whether to file is your decision, made with your agent, and nobody standing on your roof can tell you what your carrier will approve.

Common questions
How long after a storm should I have the roof looked at?
Soon, and we are deliberately not going to put a number of days on that, because your policy's notice provisions are terms of your contract and telling you what they are would be advising you on it. What we can say is that policies carry prompt-notice provisions, that they are usually shorter than people expect, and that an inspection is free and takes forty-five minutes. Read your policy or ask your agent.Can you tell if there is damage from the ground?
No, and neither can anyone else. Hail bruises the mat under the granule layer and you often have to feel it with a thumb to be sure. A report written from the driveway is a guess. That is the single most useful thing anybody can tell you about hail.What is a test square?
A ten-foot by ten-foot area chalked out on a slope, with every impact inside it circled and counted. Adjusters use it to turn a subjective look into a number, and we do the same thing so that when your adjuster marks one we are looking at the same roof in the same way.
