Frequently Asked Questions About American National Renovations
How is it possible that my insurance company would pay for my roof?
Many homeowners' insurance policies include coverage for roof damage resulting from storms, wind, or hail. If your roof meets the criteria, your insurance provider may cover the costs of repair or replacement. At American National Renovations, we simplify the process by managing the entire insurance claim on your behalf. This includes filing the claim, providing necessary documentation, and communicating with your insurance company throughout the project until completion.
What does hail damage look like?
Hail damage can manifest in various forms on your roof. Common signs include dents, cracks, or bruising on shingles, as well as missing granules, soft spots, or exposed fiberglass. You might also notice damage to other roof components such as vents, gutters, flashing, or siding. It's important to note that not all hail damage is visible from ground level, which is why we recommend a professional inspection to accurately assess any potential damage.
Why does hail damage a roof?
Hail causes roof damage due to the forceful impact of hailstones. This impact can crack shingles, dislodge protective granules, or bruise the underlying roofing materials. As time passes, this damage compromises the roof's ability to protect your home effectively, potentially leading to leaks and premature roof failure. Regular inspections after hail storms are crucial to identify and address any damage promptly.
