Hail Damage Roof Repair for Roswell homes.
Roswell homes along the Chattahoochee and in the wooded neighborhoods off Holcomb Bridge and Hardscrabble see a lot of storm debris along with hail. Limbs, pine cones and acorns hitting the roof in a storm can look a lot like hail damage, and the two are handled very differently by insurers. We tell them apart and document only true hail hits.
Many Roswell subdivisions date to the 1980s and 1990s, and some roofs are on their second set of shingles. Older shingles lose granules and bruise more easily, so even moderate hail can shorten their life. Our report shows the hits, the shingle age and whether matching shingles are still available.
After a storm, we also check gutters and downspouts, which are often packed with debris on wooded Roswell lots. Clogged gutters can back water up under the roof edge and look like a roof leak.
How a hail inspection works.
- Free inspection. We check the soft metals first (vents, gutters, downspouts, flashing), then walk every slope and mark each hail hit.
- Photos and a written report. Close-ups and wide shots of every hit, test squares on the slopes that faced the storm, and the shingle make and model.
- Your claim, your call. If there's real storm damage, you report it to your insurer and share our documentation. If your roof is fine, we tell you that.
- The repair or replacement. If the claim is approved, we do the work to manufacturer spec. You pay your deductible plus any upgrades you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Can you tell the difference between hail and tree damage?
Yes. Hail leaves bruises and granule loss in a random pattern, while limbs and debris leave scuffs, punctures and impact marks in specific spots. Insurers handle them differently, so we document each correctly.
Do you inspect roofs in Historic Roswell?
Yes. We inspect and document historic roofs carefully, including older materials and flashing.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Dented gutters, vents and downspouts are the best clues from the ground. Shingle damage like bruises and granule loss usually needs a close inspection on the roof, which we do for free.
How long do I have to file a hail claim in Georgia?
Most Georgia homeowner policies allow 12 months from the storm date, and some allow more. Check your policy and report damage promptly.
