While some damage is rather obvious,(softball sized hail) to residential properties, most of the damage caused by hail can go unnoticed by property owners. Do you know if your roof was damaged by hail? Have us inspect your home because it is important to have a qualified insurance restoration contractor who knows exactly what to look for when assessing your roof for hail damage. Equally important is finding a contractor who really knows and understands the insurance claims process like we do, and how to work with your insurance company.
Homes that have suffered severe damage from hail and wind might need emergency temporary repairs before anything else happens. This is very important because you will want to minimize any further damage from new storms in the immediate future. Insurance companies require policyholders to make emergency repairs such as using tarps to keep a roof from leaking and in the case of Tornado or high wind damage you will greatly minimize increased costs to your insurance company.
Hail damage is included in the cost replacement provisions of your insurance policy; but it is critical that you read your policy to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what is covered. We recommend that you call your agent to inform your insurance company that you have sustained damage so they can make note of it for their records.
Here are a few things to look for without having to climb your roof to see if you have hail damage. Gutters and down spouting, metal garage doors, mail boxes, aluminum trims around windows or exterior doors, dents or fractures in stucco or siding. Damage to these areas are strong indicators that your roof may also have enough damage to start leaking and need immediate replacement!
