Why the claim is the hard part in Comstock
The damage on a Comstock roof is rarely the complicated part. Bruised shingles, fractured mats, dinged metal flashing, a battered ridge cap, and dented gutter aprons follow a pattern we have documented on thousands of Inland Northwest homes. What trips up homeowners on the mature, tree-lined streets of the South Hill is the insurance process: deciphering scope language, knowing what an adjuster should be measuring, and recognizing when a settlement quietly leaves out a vent, a layer of underlayment, or code-required upgrades.
That is where DG Contracting steps in. We have been a family-owned company since 2013, and a large share of our work in Comstock starts not with a tear-off but with a claim that needs a second set of eyes before anyone signs anything.
How we work alongside your insurance adjuster
We don't disappear after the estimate and reappear when the check clears. On Comstock storm jobs we stay shoulder-to-shoulder with your carrier through every stage:
- Pre-adjuster inspection. We climb your roof first, photograph hail strikes, chalk the test squares, and document collateral evidence on soft metals so nothing gets waved off.
- We meet the adjuster on-site. A DG estimator is physically on the roof during the inspection, walking the same slopes and pointing to the same hits, so the conversation happens in person rather than over disputed paperwork weeks later.
- Scope review and supplements. When the carrier's scope misses drip edge, ice-and-water shield, or Washington code items, we submit documented supplements with photos and measurements.
- Repair to the approved scope. Once it is settled, we build back to spec, and you owe your deductible, not a pile of surprises.

What hail does to established South Hill homes
The established homes around Manito Park were built across many decades, which means we see everything from steep cut-up Tudors to mid-century ranches under those mature canopies. Older, multi-layer roofs hide damage differently than newer architectural shingles, and adjusters don't always account for that. We look for fractured fiberglass mats beneath granule loss, hail bruising you can feel but not always see, cracked pipe boots, and dented furnace and bath vent caps. The tree cover that makes the neighborhood beautiful also drops limbs in wind events, so we inspect for impact punctures alongside the hail field.
Built for Inland Northwest weather
A storm repair on the South Hill has to survive what comes after the storm. Comstock roofs face heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycling, ice dams at the eaves, and wind-driven hail off the same systems that move through the rest of Spokane. When we rebuild, we install with those realities in mind, including ice-and-water protection at vulnerable edges and proper ventilation so the next winter does not undo this year's repair. Every repair carries our 15-25 year workmanship warranty, and full replacements are backed by the GAF Golden Pledge.
