What To Do After a Hail Storm in Raleigh
- Document visible damage from the ground - dented gutters, cracked skylights, battered window screens, and broken siding.
- Do not climb on the roof. Hire a licensed North Carolina roofer for the inspection.
- Pull your insurance policy. Note your deductible, coverage type, and your claim window before you file.
- File the claim before signing any contracts so your insurer can inspect first.
- Work with a contractor who writes supplements. Initial carrier scopes regularly miss code items and accessory replacement.
