That's how jaded people are becoming. A lot of people have damage and don't even think to look. A neighborhood full of roof signs lets them know that they should. Plus, maybe it stops other companies from canvasing that neighborhood as hard, but probably not.
Or you get the insurance adjustor who states you have no damage. Brand new roof 4 years before the hailstorm, now it leaks like a sieve. There is no damage though. All the new metal is riddled like it was shot with a shotgun. "It's fine, it's only cosmetic." The water coming in is from"wind driven rain." My ass.
