Storm Damage? You Shouldn't Fight Your Insurer Alone.

Yes, and that is exactly what makes hail so risky. Hail bruises the shingle and knocks loose the protective granules, but the damage often looks minor or invisible from the ground. Left alone, those bruised spots break down over the next several months and start letting water through long after the storm is forgotten, sometimes after your claim window has closed. That is why we recommend a professional inspection soon after any hail event. We know what to look for and we document it properly, so nothing legitimate gets missed. The inspection is free.

No, and you should be wary of any roofer who promises they can. In Ohio it is illegal for a contractor to waive, absorb, or pay a homeowner's insurance deductible. The deductible is always paid by you. What we can do is help you finance it, so a deductible is easier to manage even when money is tight after a storm. We will always be straight with you about how this works. If a company tells you they will eat your deductible, that is a red flag worth walking away from.

Yes, and it is one of the most valuable things we do. When the insurer's first estimate is too low to do the job right, we document the gap and negotiate a supplement on your behalf. We have handled more than 1,000 claims and worked with State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, Grange, and Travelers. You should not have to fight your insurer alone over what your policy already owes you. We sit on your side of the table, from the first inspection through the final approval. The inspection that starts it all is free.

Some signs are obvious: missing or lifted shingles, dented gutters and downspouts, shingle granules washing into the driveway, or debris on the roof after a windstorm. Hail damage is sneakier, often just small bruises or dark spots you cannot spot from the ground. The safest move after a big storm is a professional inspection, since hidden damage can fail months later and insurance claims have filing deadlines. We document everything with photos and measurements so you have proof if you decide to file. The storm inspection is free.

Usually it is smarter to get an independent inspection first. We will document the damage and tell you honestly whether it is worth filing, so you do not open a claim that ends up denied for nothing. Once we know what you actually have, we help you file with confidence and meet your adjuster on the roof to make sure the real damage gets counted. There is no cost to you for the inspection, and no obligation. Going in informed almost always leads to a better outcome on the claim.

Often, yes, if the damage came from a sudden event like hail, wind, or a fallen branch. Homeowners policies generally cover storm damage but not gradual wear and tear, so age alone usually will not get a roof approved. The tricky part is proving the damage and getting the insurer to pay what the job actually costs. That is where we help. We document everything, meet your adjuster on the roof, and push back when the first estimate falls short. We have handled over 1,000 claims. Start with a free inspection and we will tell you honestly whether filing makes sense.
