It is hail season here in Colorado, and with the storms sweeping in, it is important to have a trustworthy roofing company by your side. Hail can be destructive to a roof, and it can be anything from cosmetic to severe. The size and speed of the hail can determine how bad the damage is and the type of materials that will be best used for repair.
In recent years, hail damage has affected over 6.2 million properties in the United States, and only about 500,000 people file claims and report their damage. This can lead to future roofing problems and further deterioration of the roof that covers your home, which can be even more costly down the road.
Why Hail Damage Is Often Overlooked
Deciding how severe the damages are can be hard for an untrained eye. These types of damage can look like loosening, shedding of protective granules, bruising, cracking, splitting, and even leaking. Some cracks and bruising are not as easy to find as some big holes and crevasses may be.
When it is obvious that we have damage, we call for help and find a roofer that will help solve our issues—but we neglect to find help if we don’t see the issue right away. So it is important that when you hear the storm and have questions about the integrity of your roof, it’s best to have a professional take a look.
Insurance Deadlines Matter
When it comes to insurance companies, you only have a limited time to file a claim before you end up having to pay out of pocket. Putting off your inspection can lead to more damage and more money spent.
Dealing with insurance companies and their fine print can be a hassle, especially when you don’t know what you are doing. Some American families pay an average of $6,000 to repair their roof because they waited too long to report their damage and the insurance company denied the claims.
