When to File a Hail Damage Roof Insurance Claim

Depending on the severity of a hail storm, you may not be able to see the devastation from the ground. The easiest way to tell if you require the help of Blue Square Builders is to observe your car and property for anything out of the ordinary. Indentations on your vehicle as well as neighbors reaching out for assistance are good indicators that you're in the market for a professional inspection.

It's better to file a hail damage roof insurance claim within one year of a storm. The sooner our team can spot problem areas, the more efficient we can be when ordering supplies based on your preference for style, color and texture. Inclement weather shortens the lifespan of roofing materials, so we attend to your roof with industry-leading shingles by Owens Corning.

Note that filing an insurance claim for storm damage is free. There is no need to worry about your insurance rates skyrocketing, as the aftermath of a hail storm is no fault of your own.
