After a major storm, your roof is one of the most vulnerable parts of your home—but proving that to your insurance company isn’t always straightforward. Hail, wind, or fallen debris might leave visible dents or cracks, but in many cases, the real damage lies beneath the surface. That’s why a Haag-certified roof inspection from Aaron Builders can make all the difference in getting your claim approved and your property properly restored.
We combine storm restoration experience with the gold standard in roofing evaluation to ensure your storm claim is strong, accurate, and taken seriously.

What Is a Haag-Certified Roof Inspector?
Haag Certification is a nationally recognized credential that means an inspector has undergone specialized training in:
- Storm damage assessment
- Roofing system construction and materials
- Insurance claim documentation and reporting
Haag-certified inspectors are trained to distinguish actual storm-related damage from wear and tear, manufacturing defects, or installation errors. Insurance adjusters trust Haag reports because they’re based on proven science—not guesswork.
At Aaron Builders, our Haag-certified inspectors know how to speak the insurance company’s language and document damage in a way that supports your claim.
Why a Haag-Certified Report Matters for Insurance Claims
Here’s how a Haag-certified inspection strengthens your storm damage claim:
- Clear, defensible documentation: Your report will include photos, measurements, material details, and damage analysis—everything your insurance company needs to process the claim.
- Accurate repair estimates: We use Xactimate software (standard in the insurance industry) to ensure all labor and materials are fairly accounted for.
- Credibility: Haag-certified reports carry weight with adjusters, reducing the risk of denied or underpaid claims.
This means less back-and-forth with your insurer, fewer surprises, and a faster path to repairs.
