As the premier roofing contractor serving Colorado homeowners, C&M Roofing and Construction understands all too well, the threat powerful hailstorms pose to properties across the state each spring and summer. While hail damage may feel unavoidable during extreme weather, proactive measures combined with post-storm best practices can help significantly minimize costs.
In this article, we’ll outline key strategies for preventing hail damage to rooftops, siding, and more. We’ll also provide a guide to navigating insurance claims smoothly should prevention efforts, unfortunately, prove no match for Mother Nature’s wrath. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge to protect both your home and wallet from these seasonal storms.
Damage Prevention Begins at Installation
Working with experts like C&M affords the strongest roofing materials installed to manufacturers’ highest wind and hail impact specifications. Proper decking, underlayment, and fastener patterns give your home the fortitude needed.
Inspect Your Home’s Armor Regularly
Missing shingles or siding cracks provide entry points for hail. Annual inspections allow small repairs beforehand versus battling insurance over pre-existing damage claims. Don’t let deferred maintenance undermine valid claims later.
Organize Vital Records…Just in Case
Keep new property photos, purchase receipts, and prior damage documentation organized and accessible when seconds count post-storm. This validates the covered property and its condition beforehand expediting the claims process.
