Hailstorms often last only a few minutes. However, the damage they are able to cause in that short amount of time can impact your home for years to come. At CR3 American Exteriors, we are well versed in just how serious hail damage can be. The problem is that most homeowners don’t think twice about it. At first glance, it may even appear that a home is in perfect condition following one of these storms. But unless somebody knows what they are doing and can safely get up on top of the roof to check, it is not possible to clearly define just how serious the damage is.

It is true that some damage is visible right away— like cracked or even missing shingles— but other signs are much more subtle. These can include bruised shingles, loss of granules, and even dents in metal flashing. Many homeowners may see a roof looking whole and not give a second thought, but these small problems can quickly snowball into leaks, mold and mildew growth, and larger structural issues.

You should never delay having a roof inspection as soon as possible. Many insurance companies will require claims to be filed within a specific time frame after a storm. This is why you should reach out to us as soon as a hail storm happens. Our inspections are completely free and may mean the difference between more insurance coverage and paying out of pocket down the line.

If you recently experienced a hail storm, please call us today so we can get somebody to take a look at your home and make sure you do not have any damage. If you do, we can help with the next steps. We are here to help you.
