    Do Not Wait

    Insurance companies track storm dates. Your window to file is not unlimited.

    After a hail event, most insurance policies give you one to two years to file a claim. That sounds like a lot of time. It is not. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove that damage is storm-related and not wear and tear. Insurance companies know when storms hit your zip code. They will use time against you if they can.

    The right move is to get an inspection done quickly, understand what you have, and make a decision from a position of knowledge. If the damage is not there, we will tell you. If it is, we will document it thoroughly before anything degrades further.

    Free inspection. Honest answer. No pressure either way.

    Understanding Hail Damage

    What a HAAG certified inspector looks for that most people miss.

    Hail damage is not always obvious. Here is what a trained inspector documents that determines whether your claim gets approved.

    01

    Granule Loss

    Hail knocks the protective granules off asphalt shingles. This is often the first sign of damage and the hardest to see from the ground. Granule loss accelerates shingle deterioration and is a primary claim indicator. Our inspection documents density and distribution pattern across every slope.

    02

    Impact Marks and Bruising

    Direct hail impacts leave circular marks on shingles that may feel soft or bruised when pressed. The size and density of these marks, combined with matching damage on soft metals nearby, is what establishes that damage is hail-related and not pre-existing wear.

    03

    Soft Metal Damage

    Pipe boots, flashing, ridge vents, gutters, and downspouts all show hail impacts clearly. These are often the most important documentation points in a claim because they provide undeniable proof of hail size and intensity. We photograph every piece of soft metal on your roof.

    04

    Siding and Gutter Damage

    Hail hits the entire exterior, not just the roof. We inspect siding, gutters, and downspouts in the same visit and document everything for the same claim. Missing these means leaving money on the table. Learn about siding damage.

    05

    What Does Not Qualify

    Not every mark on a roof is hail damage. Blistering, cracking from age, and mechanical damage can look similar. We will tell you honestly what qualifies and what does not. Filing a claim on damage that does not hold up wastes your time and affects your claim history.

    Common Questions

    After the hail storm.

    Most hail damage is not visible from the ground. Signs you might notice include granules in your gutters or downspouts, dents on gutters or metal vents, or cracked shingles on slopes you can see from a window. The only reliable way to know is a manual inspection by someone trained in hail damage identification. We provide that inspection for free.
