After a hail storm
If your shingle roof receives hail storm damage, you should file a
claim with your insurance company. You will need to have your roof inspected,
even if your roof is not leaking. Hail storms can cause collateral damage that affects
the life of the shingles. When this damage goes unrepaired, you can be sure
that your roof will eventually leak, and it will not be easy to convince your
insurance company that the leak is related to a hail storm.
Find a qualified roofing
contractor
Before you contact your insurance company, you should have a dependable
and qualified roofing contractor inspect your roof for potential hail damage as
soon as is possible. The roofing contractor will determine if your roof has
sustained hail damage that justifies filing an insurance claim. Here are some
recommended guidelines for selecting the most qualified roofing contractor:
·
Deal
only with a manufacturer certified roofing contractor from your local area. GAF
and CertainTeed are two of the major shingle and roofing material manufacturers
in the country. Look for a GAF or a CertainTeed certified roofing contractor.
·
Check with
the Better Business Bureau to ensure that prospective roofing contractors are
accredited. Avoid any roofing contractors that carry less than an ‘A-‘rating.
