Three roofers wanted $32k after the June hailstorm. Roof Doctor NM walked the roof, took 84 photos, and said the hail was cosmetic. Saved me from a fraudulent claim.

What we check on a DaVinci Roofscapes install
- Class 4 impact rating — the reason to spec synthetic in hail country.
- Fastener pattern per manufacturer — nail placement decides the wind rating.
- Concealed nail vs face-nail — face-nail is easier but exposes UV to the fastener head.
- Ridge and hip caps must be the same synthetic system — no cut field shingles.
