1st Choice Roofing Company has many years experience with Hail Damage, and Storm Damage Insurance Claims. We are strong advocates for our customers. A Hail Damaged Roof must be repaired or replaced as soon as possible. The Hail breaks the shingles, vents, and flashing upon impact. This allows water to enter your home and damage your belongings. A tarp should be installed onto the existing roof structure until a Roofing Contractor can repair the damaged shingles. The insurance company should be notified of the Hail Damage that occurred.
Hail Damaged Roof
As you can see, there are many marks on the shingles. The shingles are made from asphalt and fiberglass, therefore the shingles are not designed to handle the impact of Hail Stones. This picture displays large marks where the Hail impacted the roof. However, on darker or newer roofs the Hail Damage may not be this visible. The damage will be present but a bit more difficult to detect.
When dealing with a Hail Damaged Roof, it is in your best interest to deal with a Roofing Company who knows the insurance claim process inside and out. The claim process can be daunting to say the least. Insurance Adjusters are incorrect on their estimates about 70% of the time. This is where a savvy Roofing Contractor can clear the muddy waters.
The Gutters, A/C Unit, Siding, or Deck area may be damaged by the hail storm. These areas are skimmed over very quickly by novice Insurance Adjusters. Not only will there be no compensation, the damage will decrease the value of your property. There are many different areas on your home that may be damaged by the Hail. Be sure to choose a professional when you decide to move forward on your insurance claim.
