FAQs
How can I tell if hail has damaged my roof or siding?
After a hailstorm, look for dents, bruises, or circular marks on asphalt shingles, cracked or broken tiles on slate or concrete roofs, and shattered granules in your gutters. On siding, hail typically leaves dimples, cracks, or chipped paint. Because some roofing damage is subtle and may only be visible from close-up or in the attic (leaks, water stains, daylight through decking), we recommend scheduling a professional inspection as soon as possible.
What should I do immediately after a hailstorm in Manchester?
1. Stay safe—wait until the storm has fully passed. 2. Take photos or videos of hailstones and visible damage to create a timestamped record for insurance. 3. Cover any exposed areas with tarps to prevent water intrusion if it is safe to do so. 4. Call a qualified local roofing and siding contractor for a thorough inspection. 5. Notify your insurance company; most policies require prompt reporting of storm events.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage repairs?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners policies written in New Hampshire and neighboring states include coverage for sudden, accidental hail damage to the dwelling (roof, siding, gutters). You will typically pay only your policy’s deductible. Exclusions can apply if your roof is past its expected service life or if you wait too long to file. We help homeowners by producing a detailed inspection report, meeting the adjuster on site, and providing the exact documentation carriers request, making the claim process smoother.
How quickly should hail damage be repaired?
Ideally within 30–60 days. Even minor bruises on shingles can weaken the shingle mat, allowing moisture to seep in and causing premature failure. Cracks in vinyl or fiber-cement siding let water behind the panels, which can lead to mold, wood rot, and energy loss. Fast action preserves your manufacturer warranties, avoids escalation of damage, and speeds up claims approval while the storm date is still fresh in the insurer’s records.
What roofing and siding materials do you recommend for better hail resistance in Manchester’s climate?
For roofs, we often suggest Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingles, metal standing seam panels, or synthetic slate/shake that can withstand 2" hail tests. For siding, insulated vinyl, fiber-cement boards, and engineered wood siding have higher impact resistance than traditional vinyl. All are designed to handle New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven hail without sacrificing curb appeal.
