Although Hennepin is not directly located in “tornado alley,” the area does incur significant storms. In the past few years, Hennepin has seen more severe storm activity. Storms with high-speed winds and hail can cause significant damage to your home. If you think you have sign of roof storm damage in Hennepin, you should call a certified and experienced storm damage contractor.
Inspection
Storm damage contractors know how to assess your roof for storm damage. They can also determine if any other parts of your home were affected. For example, your gutters and downspouts may have dings from hail that are all covered by insurance. Roof storm damage in Hennepin is very common but sometimes hard to detect. Hail may have punctured your shingles, but you cannot see these small punctures from the ground. Storm damage contractors will get up on your roof and determine if the wind and hail have compromised the integrity of your roof.
Insurance Claims
If the contractor determines your roof and other areas of your home have been compromised, they will suggest you put a claim into your homeowner’s insurance. Storm damage claims are legally called an “act of God.” There is nothing you could have done as a homeowner to prevent the storm from damaging your home. Therefore, it is very rare that your premiums will increase when you put a storm damage claim into your insurance. The contractor will meet with your insurance adjuster to assess the damages and help you get approved for a full roof replacement.
