Quick answer
Can a public adjuster help with a roof & hail damage claim?
Yes. A public adjuster works for you, not the insurer. On a roof & hail damage claim, Indiana Public Adjusters reviews your policy, inspects and documents the damage, prepares a detailed estimate, and negotiates with your insurance company. There's no upfront cost, and if there's no recovery, you owe no fee. Fee terms are outlined in your contract.
Overview
How roof & hail damage claims work
Hail can bruise shingles, knock off granules, crack or split vinyl siding, and dent gutters, vents, and other soft metals. Some of that damage is obvious. Much of it isn't, especially on a steep roof or after the debris has been cleaned up.
Roof claims are also where disagreements tend to start: how many shingles are damaged, whether the whole slope or roof should be replaced, whether damage is from the storm or from age, and whether new shingles can match the old ones. We know what to look for on a roof and how a proper repair is priced.
Where claims fall short
Common problems on roof & hail damage claims
Repair versus replace
Insurers may approve a few shingles when the damage, brittleness, or matching problems support a full slope or roof. We document why.
"Wear and tear" denials
Age doesn't rule out hail damage. We separate storm damage from pre-existing condition with photos and storm data.
Missing line items
Starter, ridge, drip edge, ice and water shield, permits, and removal of extra layers are often left off.
Matching
Discontinued shingle colors and styles can make a partial repair look patched. We document availability.
FAQ
Questions about roof & hail damage claims
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dents on gutters, downspouts, vents, and mailboxes, and for granules collecting at downspouts. The only way to know for sure is a close inspection of the roof itself.
How long do I have to file a hail claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies set a time limit for reporting a loss, so check yours and report damage promptly.
Will a hail claim raise my rates?
Rating decisions are made by your insurer and depend on your policy and company. We can't promise how your premium will change. We focus on getting the claim paid correctly.
Can you help if my roof claim was already paid?
Yes. If the payment doesn't cover the full repair, we can review the estimate and pursue a supplement where it's supported.
