Two minutes before you send it

  • Note where the stain or drip is inside and whether it shows up only in heavy rain or wind.

  • Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables; do not climb onto a wet roof.

Washington facts that shape the job

  • The DC Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking cautions that some roofers blame ordinary wear and tear on storm damage, or even damage a roof on purpose to back a fake insurance claim, and may push the owner to file and sign the insurance money over to them.Source: disb.dc.gov, checked 2026-10
  • DISB tells District homeowners to be especially wary of a contractor who turns up uninvited offering to inspect the roof for damage, to check the roofer's license in the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection database, and notes that insurers now use drone and satellite imagery to judge roof condition.Source: disb.dc.gov, checked 2026-10
  • FEMA's National Risk Index lists District of Columbia, DC as very high for strong wind risk. The same strong wind rating applies in just 10 of the 55 other cities in this network.
