HAIL DAMAGE

A common occurrence in severe weather during the warm weather months, hail can range in size from small pea size to large softball size. The larger the hailstones, the greater the potential damage from their impact on your roof.

Hail can remove the shingles and create holes in your roof. Once this type of damage occurs, your home will be susceptible to additional damage from moisture that can enter the holes as well as mildew, mold, and pests.

What’s more, if the damage is not fixed immediately, your roof is literally open to a variety of other dangerous issues. Water can leak into your walls, damaging them beyond repair and even affecting your electrical system. Roof damage poses a threat to the safety and well-being of you and your family and must be taken seriously.

WHAT TO DO WHEN HAIL DAMAGE OCCURS

As soon as the storm has passed and you can safely assess the damage to your roof, it’s important to document all of the damage with photos and call your insurance company. You must completely document the entire scope of the damage and include all of the paperwork and information you need to submit your claim.

Most insurance policies will cover damage as a result of hail, but it’s important to understand the terms and conditions of your policy. Not all policies are the same, and the limitations can vary greatly. Always discuss the policy in detail with your insurance agent before making a purchase. Being an informed homeowner is the best way to help you prepare for potential damage and the need to submit a claim for repairs.

Once you are instructed to do so, contact a qualified roofing contractor such as Steele Restoration to schedule a consultation and get an estimate for the repairs. Our roof repair professionals will discuss the damage and do a brief inspection of your roof.

In some cases, extreme damage may warrant an entirely new roof. If this is the case, your roofing contractor will discuss why a replacement is the best approach and will give you an estimate. Keep in mind that the estimate can change once the work is underway if the roofing contractor encounters further damage that wasn’t visible initially.

Your roof repair or replacement estimate will usually also include an estimate of the length of time it will take to complete the project. A roof repair may only take a day, depending on whether or not the materials are readily available or have to be ordered. Also, if you need to have your roof replaced, it generally will take a few days to complete the work.

Keep an open line of communication with your contractor and be clear about your expectations and desires so you can get the finished product you want. Likewise, your contractor should thoroughly explain each step of the project and its costs. If there are any issues or changes, be sure to address them immediately to avoid delays. Another tip is to move any items around your yard that may get in the way of the workers or the equipment they need to complete the project. Roof repairs can cause minor interruptions to your schedule for a short period of time, but having a sturdy, safe home once again is well worth the short inconvenience.
