Storm & Hail Damage

Hail and wind damage is often invisible from the ground and easy to miss until it turns into a leak. We document it properly, and we deal with the adjuster alongside you.

What storm damage actually looks like

Homeowners frequently assume a roof came through a storm fine because nothing is obviously missing. Hail damage in particular is subtle — it bruises the mat under the surface, shortening the roof’s life long before a leak appears. By the time water comes through, the claim window may have closed.

Bruising

Soft dark spots where hail knocked granules loose and damaged the mat beneath.

Granules in gutters

Piles of grit at the downspouts after a storm are shingle surface that is no longer on the roof.

Creased shingles

Wind lifts a shingle and folds it back; the crease breaks the seal even after it lays flat again.

Damaged metal

Dents in vents, flashing or gutter aprons are the easiest confirmation that hail was large enough to matter.

Missing shingles

The obvious one, and it means the courses around it are compromised too.

Interior staining

Ceiling or attic stains after a storm mean water is already getting in.

How the insurance side works

We are not your insurance company and we do not decide your claim — but we do this often enough to make the process considerably less painful.

  1. 1

    Free documented inspection

    We inspect the roof and photograph every area of damage, with the detail an adjuster expects to see.

  2. 2

    You file the claim

    The claim is between you and your insurer. We give you the documentation to file it properly.

  3. 3

    We meet your adjuster

    We are on the roof with them so damage is not overlooked, and so someone is there who does this for a living.

  4. 4

    We complete the work

    Once the claim is approved and you decide to move forward, we schedule and complete the repair or replacement.

Common questions

Should I file a claim for storm damage?

That depends on the extent of damage relative to your deductible, and it is your decision to make. A free inspection tells you what the damage actually is, so you are deciding with facts rather than guessing.

How long do I have to file after a storm?

Policies vary and many have time limits measured in months, not years. If you know a storm came through, it is worth getting the roof looked at rather than waiting for a leak to prove it.

What if my claim is denied?

Denials happen, sometimes because damage was missed on the first inspection. We can walk you through what was documented. We cannot promise an outcome, and you should be sceptical of any contractor who does.

Do you charge for a storm inspection?

No. Storm inspections are free, including the documentation. If there is no damage worth claiming, we will tell you that.

Do you handle the emergency tarp?

Yes. If a roof is actively letting water in, getting it covered comes first — before any conversation about claims or scope.
