The Proper Way to Address Hail Damage

A hail storm is one of the most destructive types of weather. Hail can damage almost anything it hits, especially if the hailstones are big. Your roof bears the brunt of hail damage.

Today, we offer advice on how to deal with the aftermath through hail storm repair.

Defining Hail Damage

First, you need to identify the type of damage. Even small hailstones can cause serious damage to your roofing or siding. Cracks, dents and breaks in your roof or siding are evidence of hail damage.

Inspecting The Right Areas

If a hail storm does occur in your area, wait until the storm finishes and it’s safe to go outside. Once the storm ends, that’s when you should go out to check your roof. Using a pair of binoculars, thoroughly inspect your roof from the ground. Look closely at your shingles. Some may be cracked or dented by the hail.

Calling the Professionals

Once you assess the extent of the damage, call the professionals. Contact trusted roofing contractors that can repair the damage. We offer free inspections and will give you a detailed estimate so you know how much the repairs will cost.

Be sure to ask for advice regarding insurance claims. This way, you can avoid any hassle or misunderstandings should a repeat repair be necessary.
