Hail damage on asphalt shingles appears as dark, circular bruising or divots where granules have been knocked away — often compared to a ball-peen hammer strike. Missing granules expose the underlying asphalt to UV degradation. In Uehling, any hail event over 1 inch warrants a professional inspection. We provide written damage assessments for Dodge County homeowners.

A supplement adds scope items or cost corrections to the original approved claim amount. Common supplements address code upgrade costs, material pricing differences, items missed in the initial adjuster scope, and decking replacement discovered during tear-off.

Yes. You can request a re-inspection, provide additional contractor documentation, hire a public adjuster, or invoke your policy's appraisal or arbitration clause. An attorney specializing in insurance claims can advise on escalated disputes.

Hail maps are weather data products showing hail size and storm tracks. Contractors and adjusters use them to establish whether a specific address was in the path of hail large enough to cause functional damage. They're part of the documentation package supporting storm damage claims.

Your own homeowners insurance typically covers the damage to your structure from a fallen tree regardless of where the tree originated, subject to your deductible. Liability for the cost may or may not fall on the neighbor depending on negligence.

Policy filing windows vary — typically 1-3 years from the event date. State law may also impose its own limitation period. Filing earlier is always better; documentation quality declines as time passes from the event.

In some coastal markets, wind and hurricane coverage is excluded from the standard homeowners policy and requires a separate endorsement or a standalone wind policy. Check your policy declarations page to verify your specific coverage for wind events.

Mortgage lenders have an interest in the property's condition. For significant damage, your insurer may make the claim check co-payable to you and the lender. The lender may require documentation that repairs are completed before releasing the full insurance payment.

Keep the contractor's permit and building inspection record, the manufacturer warranty registration confirmation, the contractor's workmanship warranty, all payment receipts, and pre- and post-installation photographs. Store with your home's permanent records.

A cosmetic exclusion removes coverage for damage that affects appearance but not function. Some carriers in hail-prone states apply cosmetic exclusions specifically to hail damage on roofing — covering only hail that creates functional failure, not granule impact that's aesthetically visible.

Coverage availability for older roofs varies significantly by carrier and market. Some carriers will insure older roofs on ACV basis only. Others require a condition inspection before issuing or renewing a policy on a roof past a certain age.

Xactimate is the estimating software platform most widely used by insurance adjusters and carriers to price repair and replacement scopes. Familiarity with Xactimate line items and pricing is important for contractors working with insurance claims.

If you and your carrier can't agree on the scope or cost of a roofing claim, most policies include an appraisal clause where each party selects an appraiser and the two appraisers select an umpire. The umpire's decision is binding. It's an alternative to litigation.

Your agent can advise on whether the damage is likely to meet coverage thresholds and whether filing will affect your policy. For clear storm events with significant damage, filing directly with the claims department is typically the right path.

Ordinance and law coverage pays for code upgrades required when repairing or replacing storm-damaged components. Without it, you pay out of pocket for items like drip edge, specific underlayment, or fastening pattern upgrades required by current code but not covered by the basic replacement scope.
