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.

Golf-ball hail sweeps NE Heights & Foothills
A fast-moving supercell crossed the Sandia foothills between 4:40p and 5:20p, dropping ping-pong to golf-ball sized hail across NE Heights and the Foothills. Insurance carriers opened catastrophe (CAT) claim codes within 48 hours. If your roof was hit and you have not filed, most policies still allow filing up to 1 year — but shingles from 2024 are already being reordered.

If you're inside these zones and haven't had a post-storm inspection, get one before your carrier closes the CAT (catastrophe) code — that's when claims get harder to substantiate.
