Who Should I Go to for Hail Damage in Dallas?
8/22/2020 (Permalink)
Hail storms happen a few times a year in North Texas. Most of the time, the hail that falls is small and doesn’t cause serious damage. But sometimes, a hail storm can produce golf or baseball-sized hail, and that’s when many properties experience the usual signs of hail damage:
- Broken windows
- Broken skylights
- Damaged roof
In 2016, Wylie, Texas experienced a major hail storm. When we responded to the demand for roof damage repair, we saw that some properties actually had holes through the roof! Thankfully, hail storms this serious are rare, but we’re still always ready to help no matter the severity of the storm or the damage sustained to your property.
Hail Damage Roof Insurance
Hail damage is covered by many standard home insurance. In Texas, hail damage claims are very common--in 2019, we reported the most property damage of any other U.S. state.
With hail being a common occurrence in our hometown, make sure you ask your insurance company if your policy does cover hail. Be prepared and ask what exactly your policy covers and what your deductible is. Many damage restoration companies will ask for your deductible to be paid upfront before they start work.
Should I File a Hail Claim?
Many of our clients choose to file a hail claim only if the price of the repairs and restoration is less than their deductible. This estimate for hail damage repairs is largely dependent on how damaged your property is, so an in-person inspection will almost always be necessary.
During a hail damage inspection, we will inspect your:
- Windows
- Doors
- Exterior Walls
- Fencing
- Roof
- Anything else that may have sustained damage
Estimates are prepared quickly, and you’ll be able to make your decision to file a claim soon.
While we wait for your decision, it’s important to prevent any future damage to your property. This is handled with emergency services, like:
- Roof Tarping
- Board-Up
- Water Damage Restoration if any water entered your property from the storm
