Hail Damage?



Most of you have probably noticed all the new roofs going up in our neighborhood. I saw a few spots on our roof so I called a roofing company for a free estimate. Another company also came by and took some pictures of the damage. I then called my insurance company to submit a homeowners claim. I stated that I had possible hail and wind damage to my roof during a storm on May 14th, 2010. Usually, you have one year to submit a damage claim. They sent out an insurance adjuster and he just left a check that will completely cover a new roof with the nice 3-D architectural shingles. My roof was getting a little old, so I was very happy to get a nice, new roof. You might be interested in looking into this too.
