If your home was in the path of the May 2025 hailstorm, this is your reminder to act before it is too late.
I’m hearing from more and more homeowners who assumed their roof was fine because they didn’t see leaks or missing shingles. Then a roofer got up there and found clear hail damage that insurance may still cover. The catch: you typically only have one year from the storm date to file a claim.
For our area, that means a deadline around May 16, 2026.
If you’re not sure whether your roof was affected, now is the time to get real information, not guesses from the ground. Loxley Roofing is offering free hail damage inspections for local homeowners. They walk the roof, document everything with photos, and give you a straightforward report you can take to your insurance company if needed.
There’s no pressure to replace your roof if you don’t need to. The goal is to know where you stand before your claim window closes.
If you want an honest look at your roof before the May 16 deadline, reach out and I can connect you with Loxley for a free inspection, or call them directly at (828) 200-3744.

1527 Wandering Ridge Road in Cashiers sits at the very end of its road on nearly 4 acres. The only traffic you'll see is the occasional deer.

Help me design this home 👀

I’m working on interior finsihes for this home and using realistic mockups to explore different looks for the main living space, and I’d love your input.

Please rank your top three images in the comments (ex: 1, 4, 6).

As you’re looking, I’m especially curious:

– Do you prefer shiplap or mushroom board on the back wall?

– Which color combinations feel the most inviting and timeless to you?

Drop your favorites and any thoughts in the comments... I’m reading everything and using this feedback to make final design decisions.

I’m also excited to start offering this kind of visualization service to all my clients. If you’d like to see your own ideas transformed into realistic images before you ever swing a hammer, reach out and let’s talk about how I can help.

I have been mastering a new design program to leverage in my business, enabling clients and me to transform ideas into visuals efficiently. Through this process, I've discovered that each program has its strengths and weaknesses, with no single one being perfect. Nonetheless, I've encountered a common challenge - none of them handles beam placement seamlessly. I've had instances where an image was nearly flawless, only to be marred by this issue. When the design becomes distorted, I need to pause and reassess after a few hours to prevent further complications.
