If ice is still in the yard or a shingle lifted, photograph it and talk through who should look. One or more roofing companies that serve your area may call and text you. Asking is free.
Checked against public pages
The hail sizes and claim rules we quote link to the NWS, state insurance, or city page they came from.
A short form
Your name, phone, email, state, and city. We never ask for a policy number or a photo of the roof.
You decide what's next
Asking for a call does not hire anyone. After you talk, whether to hire any of them is up to you.
A storm does not wait for a plan. These are the moments a call with a roofing contractor is meant for.
The National Weather Service hail-size chart treats a quarter, 1.00 inch, as severe hail. Smaller ice can still bruise a shingle. Photograph the stones next to a coin before they melt.
Photograph the gutter and the shingle from the ground before rain washes the granules away. A written look tells you more than a photo.
Inland Texas homeowners policies often treat wind and hail like other sudden damage, per the Texas Department of Insurance. A coastal house may need a separate windstorm policy.
Kansas now voids a post-loss assignment of residential property benefits. Nebraska says you do not have to sign one. Texas bars a roofer from acting as your public adjuster while doing the work.
Those three jobs get mixed up the morning after a storm. They are separate, and only one of them writes a bid.
Your name, phone, email, state, and city. It goes to one or more roofing companies that serve your area, not to your insurer or your city.
Expect a few questions: which slope, when the storm hit, and whether you already called the insurer.
If a company's plan sounds right, you can hire it. You can tell any of them no.
The ice hits the shingle face. Under that sit the underlayment and the wood deck. Flashing turns water at the wall. A bruise you can see is only the top layer.
You do not need any of this to ask for a call. Having it close makes the first conversation more useful.
No. We are an independent guide. Any company that calls you is a private roofing contractor, and it is not a building department.
No. Sending the form does not hire anyone. If you decide to hire a company, its fees are between you and that company, so ask about them on the call.
No one on this site can promise that. Coverage is the insurer's decision. The Texas Department of Insurance says it is illegal in Texas for a contractor to offer to waive, rebate, or absorb your deductible.
Roof After Hail and one or more roofing companies that serve your area may call and text you at the number you entered, as the consent box explains. You can tell them to stop at any time.
No. The form never asks for it, and you should not type it into any field on this site.
