Hail Damage Restoration
Hail damage to roof, siding, HVAC condenser, vehicles after severe thunderstorm.
Hail damage is often invisible from the ground but compromises roof integrity. Damaged shingles allow accelerated wear and water intrusion within months. Insurance carriers typically require claims filed within 1 year of the event.
First-hour checklist
- 1
Document the storm date, photograph any visible hail (if you have it on video, save).
- 2
Photograph any visible damage to siding, gutters, vehicles.
- 3
Don't climb on roof - inspection by professional needed.
- 4
Call us at 240-291-8439 for inspection.
- 5
File claim within 1 year of the event for most carriers.
How Catalyst handles hail damage
- Step 1
Drone + ground roof inspection
Documents hail strike pattern, shingle damage, soft spots.
- Step 2
Adjuster coordination
We meet with carrier adjuster on-site for joint inspection.
- Step 3
Coordinate roofing replacement
Most hail claims result in full roof replacement when shingles are flagged.
Wind/hail deductibles often apply (higher than standard). Some carriers prorate roof coverage based on age - a 25-year shingle that's 20 years old may only get partial replacement coverage. Check your policy.
All carrier-specific claim guidanceHail Damage Restoration — FAQ
NOAA storm reports show hail occurrence by date and location. We can pull the report for your address. If hail occurred and your roof is age-appropriate, inspection is worth doing.
Independent inspection (engineer or another adjuster) can support an appeal. Documentation of hail occurrence + visible damage pattern usually wins on review.
