What can you document safely?
Note when the damage first appeared and photograph from indoors or stable ground. Do not climb onto the roof or approach fallen wires, unstable trees, loose material, or damaged structures.
How should temporary protection be recorded?
Keep the date, provider, description, and invoice for any temporary covering. The permanent scope should identify what will be removed and what roof repair remains.
What does a storm record establish?
It preserves observations and repair history. A roof review establishes physical findings; your insurer and policy determine coverage and claim decisions.
