Large Hail

Last week's major hail storm was a devastating event that left many homes and businesses across the Denver Metro Area with significant damage. Quarter to baseball-sized hailstones pummeled roofs, shattered windows, and dented vehicles, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. If your property was impacted by this catastrophic event, it's crucial to take immediate action to mitigate further damage and initiate the repair process.


First and foremost, ensure the safety of your family and secure any areas that may pose a risk. Board up broken windows, cover any holes in the roof, and clear away any debris that could cause additional harm. Once the immediate threats have been addressed, it's time to document the damage thoroughly. Take numerous photographs and videos from various angles, capturing the extent of the destruction. This documentation will be invaluable when filing insurance claims.


Next, contact your insurance provider and report the damage promptly. Most policies require prompt notification, and delaying this step could potentially jeopardize your claim. Provide your insurance company with the comprehensive documentation you've gathered, and follow their instructions carefully.


While waiting for the insurance adjuster's assessment, it's wise to start researching reputable contractors specializing in hail damage repair. Seek recommendations from friends, family, and neighbors who have experienced similar situations. Thoroughly vet potential contractors, checking their licenses, insurance, and customer reviews. A reliable contractor will not only restore your property but also guide you through the insurance claim process.


Dealing with the aftermath of a hailstorm can be overwhelming, but taking proactive steps and working with professionals can help alleviate the stress and restore your property to its pre-storm condition. Remember, your safety should be the top priority, followed by documenting the damage and initiating the insurance claim process promptly. With patience and perseverance, you can navigate this challenging situation and emerge stronger on the other side.
