Hail damage can cause a serious impact to your roof or home. The large chunks of ice that make up hail can make hundreds of dents in your roof, break off shingles, warp your siding and more. All storm damage can be tough, but hail can be one of the worst.
After a major hailstorm like the one that Canandaigua and Farmington experienced recently, you might be wondering what your next steps are to start the process of fixing your roof.
Your Home Has Hail Damage... Now What?
First, take a look at your home and property. You might notice certain parts of your house have been affected more than others. Hail can cause more damage as your roofing or siding ages, since it becomes more brittle and more likely to break off.
It's best to document any hail damage that happened during a storm during this initial inspection so you can have proof for any insurance claims that may need to be made. Although you may want to pay out of pocket for some minor repairs, some roof damage or exterior repairs will need to be claimed through insurance. At Up Top Exteriors, we work with all insurance companies to assist you in getting payment for your repairs due to hail damage.
If you do decide to proceed with an insurance claim, we will help work with your insurance company's adjuster as they assess the damage.
Last, schedule your repairs with your local roofing or siding contractor as soon as possible. In cases like the recent storm, there are lots of residents that need repairs made. The sooner you follow the steps to repair your roof, the sooner the process will be done and the lower the chance is that minor repairs will turn into major issues.
