What We Look For

Hail leaves marks across the whole exterior. We check each surface.

  • Shingle damage

    Bruised or cracked shingles and lost protective granules.

  • Gutters and vents

    Dents in gutters, downspouts, vents, and flashing.

  • Windows and skylights

    Damaged skylights, window screens, and glazing.

  • Siding

    Dents and cracks in siding and trim.

  • Metal surfaces

    Dents in metal roof panels, HVAC units, and other exterior metal.

  • Interior leaks

    Leaks from roof areas damaged by hail.

  • Age and depreciation

    Roof age, and whether you have replacement cost or actual cash value coverage.

  • Hail deductible

    Whether your policy has a separate wind or hail deductible.

First Steps

What To Do Right Now

You are dealing with a lot. These steps protect your safety and your claim.

  1. Note the storm date. Write down when the hail fell. It helps match the loss to your policy period.

  2. Photograph from the ground. Capture visible damage safely. Do not climb a damaged roof.

  3. Check for leaks. Look for stains and drips inside, and photograph them.

  4. Report the loss. Tell your insurer and write down your claim number.

  5. Review any contract before you sign. Get inspections if you like, but read every contractor agreement carefully.

  6. Call us before you accept an offer. A free claim review takes about two minutes to start, and there is no cost to review your claim.

Good To Know

Hail Claim Questions

How Do I Know If I Have Hail Damage?

Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. A close inspection is the reliable way to tell.

Does My Policy Cover Hail?

Many homeowner policies cover hail damage, though some carry a separate deductible. We read yours with you.

What Is The Difference Between RCV And ACV?

Replacement cost value pays to replace with new materials. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation. Your policy states which applies.

Can I Hire You If My Claim Is Already Open?

Often, yes. Bring your policy, your claim file, and any carrier letters, and we will review where things stand.

How Long Does A Hail Claim Take?

It depends on the size of the loss and how the insurer responds. We explain the likely timeline in your free claim review.
