Your home’s primary job is to protect you from the elements, but it can only do that if it is in good condition. And unfortunately, hail, hurricanes, and other severe weather events can leave your home battered, bruised, and in desperate need of repairs. From missing shingles to cracked roof tiles, storm-related damage can cause serious damage that is often expensive to fix. And because these kinds of issues can lead to complex and even more expensive problems, it is critical to address them quickly.
Fortunately, your homeowner’s insurance policy will likely help pay for some, if not all, of the necessary repairs.

It can be heartbreaking to see the damage hurricanes, hailstorms, and strong winds can inflict on your home. Many homeowners feel overwhelmed in these situations, and they don’t know where or how to start. The answer is actually quite simple: Contact the roof-damage specialists at Willow Ash Roofing and let our team of professionals provide the help you need.
The good news is that your homeowner’s insurance will likely help pay for some or all of the costs associated with the roof repairs you need following severe weather events. The bad news is that submitting a roof claim, dealing with an insurance adjuster, and getting a claim large enough to fund extensive repairs or a complete roof replacement can be challenging. But our team has decades of experience helping South Carolina homeowners do exactly that, and we’ll be happy to help you too.
Hurricanes and hailstorms can cause a lot of obvious, easy-to-see damage, ranging from torn shingles to dented gutters. But they can also cause a lot of subtle damage, which homeowners may not notice at first. Nevertheless, these issues still need to be repaired to ensure that your roof remains structurally sound and that roof leaks are avoided. Our roof damage assessment experts can help inspect your home following storms and uncover any and all damage that’s occurred.
Detailed documentation can make all the difference between receiving proper compensation for the damage your roof suffered and being forced to pay out of pocket to restore your home to its original condition. We recommend taking a series of photos or videos to document any damage you observe, no matter how insignificant. Our experts will help you organize this evidence at the appropriate time to present it to your insurance adjuster.

It’s always important to inspect your roof for signs of damage following a hailstorm — even if the hail produced was small or the storm was short-lived. Hailstones can cause significant damage to your roof, which can lead to leaks or even structural issues in some cases. This means you’ll want to examine your roof and look for any of the following issues:
Dents and cracks are two of the most common types of damage that shingles suffer during hailstorms. Even small dents and hairline cracks may lead to roof leaks or other problems, so be sure to examine your roof carefully, using binoculars if necessary.
Your shingles are covered in protective granules, which help to protect them from UV damage and other destructive forces. But hail often causes the granules to become dislodged, which will leave your shingles unprotected. To spot granule loss look for changes in shingle texture and check your rain gutters to find any granules that’ve been collected.
Your shingles aren’t the only roof components susceptible to hail damage; your vents, flashing, and gutters may also become damaged from falling ice. So, be sure to scan these areas thoroughly, checking for indentations or dimples. This is also a good indicator of the severity of the hailstorm. The more damage you see, the more important a professional inspection is.
While roof tiles are pretty durable, they can suffer from cracks or complete fractures during hailstorms. These kinds of problems will need to be addressed promptly to prevent roof leaks and ensure the integrity of your roof, so scan your roof for any signs of cracked or broken tiles.
The flexible seals used to keep things like pipes, skylights, and other structures that penetrate the roof line may become damaged from hail. Because these areas may be more vulnerable to leaks than some other areas, it is especially important to inspect them for damage.
Hail damage can cause damage in a few different ways, and some types of damage are hard to appreciate from afar. This means that in addition to examining the other things we’ve outlined above, you’ll want to examine your home’s ceiling, walls, and the attic to look for dripping water, moisture, or stains.
While some of these signs may seem minor, they can all indicate a potentially serious problem that’ll require professional assistance to address. If you see any of these types of damage following a hailstorm, contact the professionals at Willow Ash Roofing immediately.
After conducting the initial consultation, one of our experienced roofing experts will carry out a complete roof inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Our inspector will document this entire process via photographs, videos, and notes to help expedite the roof insurance claim process and ensure you’re fairly compensated by the insurance company.
With the roof damage assessment completed, we can then begin assisting you with your claim. We’ll help you file the necessary paperwork accurately, provide all of the required documentation, and assist you in submitting any evidence you’ve managed to collect.
Once the claim has been filed, we will begin communicating with the insurance company on your behalf. We will provide any additional information the insurance adjuster requires and negotiate with him or her to ensure that you receive the highest settlement amount possible.
After the adjuster has had some time to review the claim, he or she will provide you with a settlement offer. But it’s important to understand that this isn’t necessarily the final offer you’ll receive from the insurance company. If it isn’t sufficient to cover your roof repair expenses, we will conduct further negotiations to help ensure you receive fair compensation.
Once you accept a fair settlement offer, we will work with you to identify a good time to begin making the roof repairs. As a reputable roofing contractor, we use only the finest materials and complete the work with the skill, professionalism, and expertise South Carolina residents have come to expect from Willow Ash Roofing.
Once the roof restoration work has been completed, we will work with your insurance company to finalize the claim.

The only way to know for certain that your roof has sustained damage that qualifies for an insurance claim is by having a roofing contractor assess the damage. But be sure to look for things like missing, torn, or dented shingles, damaged flashing, or leaks following all severe weather events. If you notice any of these signs, contact Willow Ash Roofing and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
If you suspect that your roof has been damaged, take the following steps:
While you’ll need to contact a professional to know for sure that your siding has been damaged and qualifies for an insurance claim, you can look for things like dents, holes, cracks, or chipped paint in the meantime.
Hail damage is usually covered by homeowners’ insurance policies, so you may want to file an insurance claim. However, it is wise to contact an experienced roofing contractor for guidance, after documenting any damage you can see.
The best way to select a reputable roofing contractor who can help with the insurance process is by selecting one who has a proven track record of helping other residents negotiate with their homeowners insurance company and earn settlements large enough to cover the damages (including full roof replacement, when necessary).
The roof insurance claim process can be quite complicated, and given the expenses associated with storm damage repair, the stakes are high. So, you’ll always want the help of roofing professionals, who’ve been helping other South Carolina residents navigate the claim process for more than 20 years.
The exact documents and evidence you’ll need to provide for a roof damage insurance claim will differ based on the specifics of your situation and your insurance company’s requirements. However, you’ll generally need to provide the insurance company with documentation of the damage, as well as repair estimates and damage reports from your chosen roofing repair specialist.
Insurance claims adjusters are people employed by the insurance company, who work on the company’s behalf to settle claims made by policyholders. You can negotiate directly with your insurance adjuster, or you can rely on the roof repair claims specialists at Willow Ash Roofing to do so on your behalf.
The duration of the claims process can vary based on a number of factors, including the extent of the damage and the specific policies and procedures your insurance company employs. However, broadly speaking, it will generally take about 2 to 4 weeks to navigate the claims process, and then another 1 to 4 weeks to complete the repairs.
It is certainly possible to handle the claims process yourself, but the vast majority of homeowners will find that relying on experienced roof-repair specialists, like the professionals at Willow Ash Roofing, makes the process easier and results in larger settlement offers.
Generally, your insurance agent will determine the amount of your claim by figuring out the actual cash value or the replacement cost value. The actual cash value is generally determined by taking the original cost, and then subtracting the amount the roof has depreciated over time. By contrast, the replacement cost value is simply determined by figuring out how much it would cost to replace the roof, without considering depreciation.
