How long do I have to file a claim?

Policies set their own reporting deadlines and many are shorter than homeowners expect. Because hail damage is invisible from the ground, roofs often get inspected after the window has closed.

Do you do emergency tarping?

Yes, 24 hours a day. We stop the water first and photograph the damage before covering it.

How do I know if I have hail damage?

You usually cannot tell from the ground. Hail fractures the mat under the granules rather than punching a hole. A proper inspection also checks soft metals — gutters, vents, screens, AC fins — which help date the event.

What if my claim was denied?

A denial is often the result of incomplete documentation rather than an absence of damage. You can request a re-inspection, and thorough slope-by-slope evidence is what reopens files.

Storm damage and insurance

Most roofs in this area are replaced because of a storm rather than age alone. Claims turn on documentation gathered while the damage is fresh, which is why our inspection report is written the way an adjuster reads one — slope by slope, with soft metals and measurements included. You file the claim; we make sure the evidence is there.

Be careful who you sign with

Every hail event brings crews from out of state. Before you sign: confirm licensing and insurance in your jurisdiction, never assign your claim to a contractor, avoid large up-front deposits, and walk away from anyone offering to waive or absorb your deductible — in many states that is fraud, and it implicates the homeowner too.
