What the Inspection Covers
IFC does not just look at the tiles you can see from the ground. The team gets on the roof and checks every slope, every valley, the flashing and the ridge line. Hail damage on tile tends to spread across the whole roof in patterns that are easy to miss without a close look. Wind can lift tiles and leave the layer underneath exposed, even when the surface looks fine from the driveway.
​
The team also checks the decking underneath and the flashing around vents and pipes. You get pricing based on what the crew actually finds, and the full scope is confirmed with you before any work is scheduled.

IFC Matches Your Tile Before Scheduling the Repair
Getting the right tile matters. The color, finish and shape all need to match what is already on your roof. If the repaired section does not blend in, it stands out from the street. IFC finds the matching tile before the repair crew is scheduled so the project stays on track.
​
If the original tile has been discontinued, the team brings samples during the assessment so you can see your options and approve the match before anything moves forward.
Insurance Claims for Tile Damage
Hail and wind damage that cracks or shifts tile often qualifies for an insurance-funded repair or full replacement. IFC puts together the documentation your carrier needs, connects the damage to the storm date and meets your adjuster on-site.
​
You assign IFC as your general contractor. The approved repair gets completed by the same crew from start to finish. You pay the deductible. IFC manages everything else. For the full claims process, see roof insurance claim assistance.
