Who Inspects Your Roof

I'm Bret Ruth. I grew up in Oil City, I live and work in Franklin, and I run this site through TableTurn Digital.

I'm independent, so I don't work for just one roofing company. I get on the roof, show you what I see, and recommend whoever is the best fit for your job. If there's nothing wrong, I'll tell you that too.

What Gets Checked

  • Shingles: hail hits, bruising, cracks, lifted or missing tabs, heavy granule loss
  • Metal panels: dents, loose fasteners and seam problems
  • Flashing around chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys
  • Pipe boots, vents and exhaust caps
  • Gutters and downspouts, including dents and granules collecting inside
  • Siding and window trim on the side that faced the storm
  • Signs of leaks inside, like ceiling stains or damp attic wood, if you'd like me to look

You get the photos and a plain summary of what was found, so you have a record whether or not you move forward.

Matched to the Right Crew

Not every roof needs the same kind of contractor. After the inspection, I'll recommend the crew that fits your situation and explain why.

Storm Damage and Insurance Work

An established storm restoration company that works with insurance companies every day.

  • Hail and wind damage on shingle roofs
  • Siding and gutters damaged in the same storm
  • Homeowners filing an insurance claim

Metal, Barns and Cash Repairs

Experienced local crews, including Amish roofing crews known for solid metal and agricultural work.

  • Metal roofs and standing seam
  • Barns, pole buildings, garages and camps
  • Repairs and reroofs paid out of pocket

You always make the final call. If you'd rather get more than one estimate, just say so.

How It Works

  1. Request an inspection using the form below or call (814) 209-8304.
  2. I call you to set a time that works for you, usually within a few days of your request, depending on weather and demand after a storm.
  3. The inspection. I check the roof, take photos and walk you through what I found.
  4. Your next step. If work is needed, I connect you with the right crew for a written estimate. If not, you're done, at no cost.

About Insurance

Pennsylvania homeowners policies often cover sudden storm damage like wind and hail, but not normal wear or age. Photos taken soon after a storm give you a clear record to share with your insurance company.

Please note: I document what I find. I'm not an insurance company or a public adjuster, and I don't negotiate claims for you. Your insurance company decides what is covered under your policy.

How This Stays Free

You never pay for the inspection. If you hire a contractor I recommend, that contractor pays TableTurn Digital a referral fee once the job is sold. I'll always tell you who I'm recommending and why, so there's nothing hidden.

Common Questions

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. Homeowners never pay for the inspection. If you later hire a contractor I recommend, that contractor pays TableTurn Digital a referral fee. You're never required to hire anyone.

Who decides which contractor I'm sent to?

I recommend the crew that fits your roof, your situation and your budget, and I explain why. Insurance related shingle, siding and gutter work usually goes to an established storm restoration company. Metal roofs, barns, outbuildings and cash repairs often go to an experienced local crew, including Amish roofing crews. The final choice is always yours.

Will you handle my insurance claim?

No. I photograph and document what I find so you have a clear record. I'm not an insurance company or a public adjuster and don't negotiate claims. Your insurance company decides coverage under your policy.

What if there's no damage?

Then I'll tell you so. You get the photos and an honest answer, and nobody will push you into work you don't need.

Should I climb up and look myself first?

Please don't. Wet, steep or damaged roofs are dangerous. Look from the ground, check your gutters for granules, and let a professional handle the rest.
