Storm Damage MN | Hail Damage Roof Repair MN When hail damage occurs to shingles, there may be severe granule loss, the shingles may lose material at their edges, and penetration is also possible. If wind is involved, then the damage becomes much worse. Minnesota Impact Resistant Shingles Are any Minnesota shingles impact resistant? That is a good question because there is approximately $1 billion in damage done to roofs each year due to hail storms. From the years 1991 to 1995, hail damage resulted in nearly $8 billion in insurance payouts for each year. Fortunately, there are new shingle designs that are able to resist both hail and wind. If you currently have old shingles on your roof, then you may already have hail damage. Some of the older asphalt shingles that are currently on roofs around Minnesota are not designed to handle the harsh environment of a hail storm. As a matter of fact, many of these older roofs have got wear and tear that makes them weaker than what they used to be. New shingles There are several manufacturers offering resistance to the effects of weather. Not only do they resist hail, but they can resist flying debris.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After The Storm Hail Damage and Wind Damage Insurance Claims Process – Things You Should Know Reading and understanding the key concepts listed below will help you better understand the process of filing an insurance claim. Understanding that the insurance claim process can be complex, that is why trained, reputable and professional storm restoration companies can help you navigate through the process making it as seamless as possible. Know the exact storm date your home or business incurred damages Your insurance company will require this information upon filing a claim. You will be asked to name general areas that appear to have been damaged, such as the roof, siding, windows, etc. It is also equally as important to mention that the damage could have been caused by wind or hail as this information will be forwarded onto your insurance adjuster. This results in a more thorough inspection by your insurance adjuster because generally speaking, wind damage is less evident. Have a storm damage claim specialist inspect your home or property prior to the insurance adjuster This is an important concept because a professional who looks at storm damage regularly may see things that other contractors may overlook, as some damage is less obvious then others. Also a company that specializes in insurance claims knows the approximate cost of the needed repairs, and can cross reference with the adjuster to ensure no damage over looked. Often times insurance adjusters are from out of state and may not know all local building codes, and material costs. Know your current home mortgage information including loan number, and mortgage...
