Hail Damage in Marietta?
Each year, around one in 35 insured homes has a property damage claim related to wind or hail, according to the Insurance Information Institute, and yet homeowners are often unclear on their policy coverage and how much they can expect to receive from their insurance companies for repairs or replacements based on the damage.
Hiring a Public Adjuster after a Marietta hail storm can be a good safeguard for your finances, ensuring you are properly indemnified for loss and get a fair settlement so you don’t get stuck paying out of pocket for repairs.
Most common hail damage
- Roof damage: Hailstones can fracture or puncture roof shingles, compromising your roof’s structural integrity. It can also cause loss of granules on shingles and damage to roof flashing that require replacement.
- Siding and exterior damage: Hail can cause dents and cracks on the sides of your house, exposing it to more damage.
- Window damage: Large hailstones can shatter glass in windows and skylights, posing further safety risks for the interior of your home.
Dealing with a Marietta hail storm is difficult enough, but unfortunately, this is the time fraudulent roofing contractors are on the prowl, looking to take advantage of people with roof damage. Stay educated on signs of fraud and choose reputable roofing contractors in your area.
Avoid Hail Claim Denials
According to Merlin Law Group, “insurers may try to argue [that] the damage suffered from a hail storm does not fit the conditions necessary for a claim.” In these situations, the disputed damage often causes claims to be wrongfully underpaid or denied.
Thankfully, licensed Public Adjusters can be hired at any point during the claims process, even if the insurance company has issued a payment or denial. Public Adjusters can reopen a claim if you are still owed additional settlement money according to your policy.
