After hail in Wayzata, the useful question is what happened to your home. Proximity to Lake Minnetonka does not establish that a particular roof has more damage. An inspection should be based on the materials and conditions found at the property.
Record your observations
From the ground, photograph visible changes to roofing, siding, gutters, and windows. Note when you first noticed the damage and whether there are new leaks. Avoid roof access, unstable branches, and hanging materials.
Ask for findings you can review
Request photos identifying the location and type of damage. Ask how the inspector distinguishes suspected hail damage from wear and what supports the recommended repair area. Share prior inspections or repairs so the comparison has context.
Check reporting requirements
If you intend to report a claim, contact your insurer promptly and ask about deadlines and the documentation it needs. A contractor can document repairs; the insurer decides coverage. Read our insurance scope guide before comparing estimates.
For an inspection appointment, contact Smart Builders. Confirm availability for your project when scheduling; this archived article is not a current storm alert or a completion-date promise.
