What to know
- Roof Cost & Estimate Planner: compare the complete scope behind each price
- Storm Damage Documentation Checklist: organize safe observations, photos, contacts, and records

Use the tools to prepare, not to diagnose
These tools help you describe visible conditions and organize decisions. They do not replace a professional inspection, written manufacturer terms, association documents, local approvals, lender disclosures, or the coverage decision made by an insurance company under its policy.
Never climb onto a roof to complete a checklist. Record what you can safely observe from the ground or an accessible interior area, then bring those notes to the appropriate professional.

Do I have to hire Sky Shield to use them?
