Hail damage repair for residential and commercial roofs
Hail is painful in many ways. As a homeowner, business owner, or property owner, hail damage is one of the most expensive insurance claims you may have to file. In fact, experts estimate that hail causes over $1.5 billion dollars annually in damage.
Hail damage can be a tricky prospect for home owners because the resulting damage is not as obvious as what one would see from a wind storm. For example, you may not be missing any shingles on your roof after a hail storm, but it doesn’t mean damage isn’t present. You may not know your roof has damage until you start seeing leaks in your home.
Visible damage from hail can include dents, pockmarks, and in certain cases, dislodged shingles.
Allstate Roofing & Construction General Contractor has experience in the inspection and repair of roofs that have been subject to hail damage. Our professionals will thoroughly examine your roof and discuss your options.
What happens when your roof is damaged by storm winds?
Gale-force (39-54 miles per hour), tropical storm force (39-73 miles per hour), and hurricane force (74 miles per hour and over) can cause significant visual damage to your roof. Regardless of the strength of the roofing material on your home or business, severe winds can inflict significant damage. Shingles and other material can be ripped off, exposing the underlayment, roof deck, and waterproofing material.
Moreover, lifted and curled shingles on pitched roofs can lead to moisture seeping in, thus causing leaks inside of your home. This can lead to corrosion and warped roofing material, thus requiring you to have a total roof replacement.
Storm winds can also bring debris to your roof, causing dents, impacts, and dislodging that could lead to moisture to breach your roof. Moreover, debris can cause significant damage even down into the roof deck.
I need to file a claim with my insurance company for roofing damage
Chances are you will have to file an insurance claim with your carrier for any roof storm damage. Most homeowner policies have limits on how long you can make a claim on a covered event/loss, so do not delay in getting the process started. The claims process can be very complex due to the various considerations by your insurance carrier as well as the endorsement procedures by your mortgage company (if you have one).
