Do I have Hail Damage on my Denver Roof?
There are myriad questions about roofing. We answer a few so that you can proceed in hiring a Denver roofing contractor to replace the damaged roof and help you with the insurance process as well.
First, how do you tell if it is normal wear vs. hail? Look right away. Soon after a hailstorm, hail-damaged shingles should show exposed asphalt where the asphalt granules have worn off. Over time, this will crack and begin to look like normal wear.
Second, who should I trust? Have a qualified Denver roofing company come to your home when the insurance adjustor inspects it. If an experienced roofing contractor, who has seen many roofs in Colorado and in many conditions, concludes that the damage is due to hail, that should be taken seriously. The insurance inspector may be inclined to consider the damage as normal wear. A fair roofing company can make sure this is not done mistakenly.
Finally, take advantage of the roofing company that your hire. They deal with insurance companies frequently. They can work with the adjustor and make your experience hassle-free.
