Wind/Not a hurricane shop
Wind is the peril. The file is the same.
A thunderstorm and a tropical system are both wind on a commercial roof. NCR does not run a separate residential hurricane practice, and it does not publish an arrival clock.

Secure the building. Do not skip the record.
Wind damage that is still open has to be dealt with. The evaluation does not wait on a speech about the claim, and the claim does not get written from a tarp. Both belong in the file: what the wind did, and what was done to keep the building closed while that question was answered.
This site does not staff a round-the-clock desk, and it does not promise a crew in a set number of hours. An evaluation request, with the address and whether the roof is open, is how a building gets on the list.
What the wind file records.
01
Perimeter and corners first
Wind shows up at the edge, the corners, and the metal that holds the system down. The field is walked too. The file does not start and end at the loose flashing someone noticed from the parking lot.
02
What moved, photographed before it is covered
Displaced membrane, opened laps, failed edge metal, and debris strikes are recorded in the condition the storm left. A cover installed before that record exists is a cover the file cannot explain.
03
Temporary protection, labeled temporary
If the building is open to weather, securing it is part of the sequence. The cover is written down as temporary. It is not the restoration, and it is not described as a completed claim.
04
The same split as every other file
Storm displacement stays separate from age, clogged drains, and maintenance that was already due. Wind is not a reason to rename the whole roof a loss.
Several roofs, one storm
A written order. Not a live crew board.
When one wind event hits more than one building, the work is ordered on paper. There is no map of crews waiting by city, and no public storm tracker on this site. The weather in the file is the event and the date, labeled as reported, next to what was seen on the roof.
- 01
Open to weather
A roof that is letting water in is ahead of a roof that is only suspected.
- 02
Occupied, and wet
A building with people under an active opening is ahead of an empty one with the same storm date.
- 03
The rest of the list
Remaining roofs are documented to the same standard, so extent can be compared. They are not skipped, and they are not invented into emergencies.
The instruments do not change with the peril. Inspect, document, substantiate, present, restore.
