Did the Last Storm
Hit Your Roof?

Every official hail and wind damage report in South Carolina, straight from the National Weather Service's records, on one map. Updated twice a day. If a pin landed near you, your roof may have taken a hit you cannot see from the ground.

Storm Watch For Your Address

Get the Email the Day a Storm Lands Near You

We check the official reports twice a day. The day hail of an inch or more, or a wind damage report, lands within ten miles of your address, you get one email with what was reported and how close. No storms, no emails.

If a Pin Is Near You

Three Steps, None of Them a Ladder

  1. 1Stay off the roof. Hail bruises shingles in ways you cannot see from up there anyway.
  2. 2Take a few photos from the ground: the roof line, the gutters, dents in anything metal, and any leak inside.
  3. 3Open a file with those photos. We come out, look, and tell you straight whether there is damage.

Straight Answers

Questions, Answered

Is this map official?

The pins are the National Weather Service's own storm reports for South Carolina: hail of three quarters of an inch and up, and wind damage reports. Double J Builds pulls them twice a day. Nothing is added by hand.

A pin landed near me. What now?

Stay off the roof. Take a few photos from the ground, open a file on this site, and Double J Builds comes out, looks, and tells you straight whether there is damage.

No pin near me. Am I safe?

Usually, but not always. Reports come from spotters and stations, so a storm can hit a street with no one reporting it. If you saw hail or heard shingles go, have it looked at.

Will you tell me my roof is damaged when it is not?

No. Fair people, fair prices, and a straight answer even when the answer is "your roof is fine." That is the whole reputation.

Seen something on the map? A look costs nothing, and the answer is straight either way.
