After the storm

What to do in the next 48 hours

Hail damage is time-sensitive and the chasers move fast. A few simple steps protect your roof and your claim.

01

Document everything

Take dated photos of the roof, gutters, and any dents — from several angles, only if it's safe.

02

Find your policy

Locate your homeowner's policy and note your deductible before you talk to anyone.

03

Get inspected first

Have a licensed local roofer inspect before signing anything. They document it for your insurer.

04

Watch for chasers

Be cautious with out-of-town crews pushing "cash deals" or pressure to sign today. A legitimate local roofer will never ask you to waive your deductible — that's illegal in most states.

⚠️ The storm-chaser warning

After big hail events, out-of-town crews flood neighborhoods, sign people up, and disappear. Always verify licensing, insurance, and local references. A real local roofer works directly with your insurer and stands behind the work for years — and no contractor can legally offer to waive or absorb your insurance deductible.

Straight answers

Hail damage FAQ

Does hail this size usually damage roofs?+
Hail about an inch or larger often causes shingle bruising, granule loss, or cracks that lead to leaks over time. It depends on roof age and material, so an inspection confirms it.
Will my insurance cover it?+
Most policies cover sudden hail damage once your deductible is met, but coverage varies by policy and insurer. Document the damage and review your coverage before filing.
How long do I have to file a claim?+
Deadlines vary by state and policy and are often around a year — but file promptly while the evidence is fresh and confirm the window in your policy.
