FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a sudden summer hailstorm in Oneida?
Hail can bruise or crack shingles, loosen flashing, and create hidden leaks that won’t appear until the next heavy rain. A professional inspector knows how to spot subtle damage, document it for insurance, and recommend repairs before small issues become costly structural problems.
How soon after a hailstorm should I schedule a roof inspection?
Schedule an inspection as quickly as possible—ideally within 24–72 hours. Early documentation helps you meet insurance deadlines, prevents water intrusion from undetected damage, and allows contractors to prioritize your home before their schedules fill up with other storm-related calls.
What signs indicate that my roof may have hail damage even if I can’t see anything from the ground?
Common clues include dented gutters, downspouts, or flashing; granules collecting at the ends of downspouts; water stains on interior ceilings; and torn window screens. If you notice any of these, call for a professional assessment because roof damage itself is often invisible from the yard.
Will my homeowners insurance cover hail damage repairs or replacement?
Most policies in Oneida cover sudden storm events like hail, but coverage varies by insurer and policy type. After an inspection, we provide a detailed report and photos you can submit with your claim. Your insurer may send an adjuster to confirm damage before approving repair or replacement costs, minus your deductible.
What does a hail damage roof inspection include?
Our certified inspector checks shingles for bruising, cracks, and missing granules; examines flashing, vents, and skylights; inspects gutters and downspouts; looks for attic leaks and moisture; and photographs every finding. We then deliver a comprehensive written report with repair recommendations and an estimate, usually within 24 hours.
