The Insurance Claim Process, Step by Step
- Free inspection and documentation. Sam inspects the roof and we photograph and measure the damage.
- You file the claim with your carrier. We can show you what information to have ready.
- We meet the adjuster on site. We walk the roof together and point out the damage so the scope is based on what is physically there.
- Once approved, we schedule. Our professional subcontractor crews are roofers who know your family wants the house weather-tight fast. We pull permits as required and send supplements for anything missed.
- One-day install and cleanup. Most 78758 roofs go on in a single day, weather permitting. We show up early, work efficiently, and clean up before we leave. Your deductible is collected at completion.
How to Spot Hail Damage
Hail damage is not always obvious from the ground, especially on the varied rooflines around The Domain. After a storm, look for:
- Dented gutters and downspouts: Soft metal shows hail impact easily and often points to damage above.
- Granule loss: Check gutters for granule buildup, and look for dark spots on shingles where granules were knocked off.
- Cracked or split shingles: Direct hits can crack shingles and open a path for water.
- Dented vents and flashing: Metal parts show circular dents.
- Damaged AC units: If your outdoor unit took hail damage, your roof likely did too.
The tricky part is that hail can weaken a roof without causing an immediate leak. Shingles that look okay from the street can fail in the next hard rain or windstorm and let water into the house.
Why North Austin Homeowners Call Hail Bender
There are plenty of roofers around Austin. Here is what we do differently.
- Straight on the deductible: We collect the full deductible on every job, at completion, never upfront. Contractors who offer to “cover” it are not following Texas law, and the cost tends to show up somewhere else.
- No stretched-out jobs: We do not drag a project across weeks. We schedule your install, show up when promised, and finish in one day.
- Fits your house: Whether you have a 1970s ranch home or newer construction near the shopping centers, our crews are used to the roofs in this part of town.
- Quick response: We aim to get out for an inspection within 24 to 48 hours.
A professional inspection takes less than an hour. If you suspect the latest storm hit your roof, get it checked before small problems become expensive repairs.
