The REAL truth about Hail Damage to your Roofing and Siding in Maryland

THAT'S NOT COVERED

A client calls up his insurance agent and tells him he needs to file a claim.

The agent says "Tell me what happened?"

The client tells him and the agent says "I´m sorry but that´s not covered."

The client says "Well, let me explain better what happened."

The agent says "I´m sorry but that´s not covered either."

The client says " I´ll tell you what, you tell me what´s covered and I´ll tell you how it happened!"

The real truth about any damage to your home is that your insurance company does not want you to file a claim, they would rather the damage never occurred. Think about it - insurance companies make money by collecting premiums and hoping that you never have a need to file a claim. Homeowners often fear a rate increase if they do file a claim. In reality your rates will go up even if you don't file a claim as your neighbors will be filing claims for similar damage. So you can either face a rate increase or not get any benefit from it. We will never advise you to file a claim where damage does not exist. You should not file a claim without having your damage and its source verified by an expert. The insurance adjuster follows strict guidelines established by your insurance company that minimize the company’s exposure to false or fraudulent claims. In many cases valid claims can be denied if anything in the claim appears to fall outside of these established guidelines. This is why being represented by an expert of your own is so important. Most people in Maryland don't even realize they have had hail damage to their roof, siding, or fascia materials. The impact of hail damage can loosen, fracture or remove granules from your asphalt shingles, Hail can leave tiny to large pits in your siding and fascia as well. The granules protect the asphalt from sunlight and Ultra Violet Light (U.V.). The roofing asphalt will deteriorate very quickly once it has had hail impact and is exposed to the sun. This is the reason hail damaged roofing will prematurely fail. Hail damaged roofs may or may not show up immediately as visual damage to the inexperienced observer. In some cases, the effects may not be visible or apparent for about a year or two. The effects of a hailstorm void the shingle manufacturer's warranty, as manufacturers will not warrant against "Acts of God" such as hailstorms.
