From: Allegheny Peak Roofing Subject: Re: Request a free roof inspection. We got your message
Hi Dana,
Thanks for reaching out to Allegheny Peak Roofing. This is an automated assistant for the office. Sorry you're dealing with this after the storm. Our office is closed right now, so I've flagged this as urgent for the team.
For now, if you can, put a bucket or towel under the drip and stay away from any sagging ceiling.
Can you see any damage outside, like missing shingles?
Thanks, Allegheny Peak Roofing
3. Homeowner
A few shingles are gone near the chimney. One gutter is bent too.
4. Reply
Thanks, that helps. Was this from the recent storm, and are you thinking of going through insurance?

5. Homeowner
Yes, from the storm. Probably insurance, not sure yet.
6. Reply
No problem. Our inspector can take photos and notes you can share with your insurance company.
The earliest openings are Monday 9–11 AM or Monday 2–4 PM. Does either work?
