If your ZIP code got hit, it’s on record. That’s why it’s important to act quickly—most policies have a limited window for filing an insurance hail claim.

What About My Siding—Can It Be Damaged Too?

Yes, and it often is.

Your home’s siding, gutters, and downspouts can suffer just as much as your roof.

To spot siding hail damage:

• Look for dents, cracks, or chipped paint

• Check during morning or late afternoon light (shadows help!)

• Run your hand along the surface to feel for indentations

Our inspections don’t stop at the roof—we check your entire exterior so you can file one comprehensive claim instead of multiple disjointed ones.

Will Insurance Cover the Full Cost of Hail Damage Repairs?

It depends on your policy, but here’s what we typically see:

• Most policies cover storm-related roof and siding damage

• You’ll usually owe a deductible

• Coverage varies for older roofs or ones not up to code

Tip: Make sure to file your claim before doing repairs, and document everything—photos, receipts, notes from contractors.

What If My Roof Looks Fine but Starts Leaking Months Later?

That’s the danger of hidden hail damage—you often don’t see the consequences until it’s too late.

Undetected bruising can:

• Weaken shingle integrity

• Lead to moisture buildup under roofing materials

• Cause mold, rot, and insulation damage

Getting a roofing inspection after a storm isn’t just smart—it’s preventive maintenance. And many insurance companies will deny claims if you wait too long.

How Do I Choose a Trusted Storm Repair Contractor?

With so many fly-by-night “storm chasers” knocking on doors after a hailstorm, it’s critical to vet your contractor properly. Look for:

✅ Local presence and reputation
✅ Proper licensing, bonding, and insurance
✅ Certification in roofing inspections (like Haag)
✅ Strong Better Business Bureau rating
✅ Willingness to help with the insurance process

You can check out the Better Business Bureau Contractor Search to verify credentials.

At Quantum Exteriors, we’re proud to be a locally trusted company with a proven track record, not someone who’ll disappear once your roof is done.

How Soon Should I Schedule a Roofing Inspection After the Storm?

Immediately, if possible. Here’s why:

• Insurance adjusters may beat you to the punch—and underestimate damage.

• Hail damage claims often have strict time limits (sometimes just 6–12 months).

• Repairs take time. Contractors book fast after storms.

We recommend scheduling your inspection within a week of the storm. Our experts will document all findings to support your claim—even if the damage seems “minor” now.

What Happens During a Hail Damage Inspection?

Our inspection includes:

• Full roof assessment for bruising, granule loss, lifted shingles

• Siding and gutter checks for impact damage

• Photo documentation for your records and insurance claim

• A written report with repair recommendations, if needed

We use Haag-certified techniques to give you factual, unbiased results—no scare tactics, no pressure sales.
