FAQ: Insurance & Hail Damage

Q: What if the Insurance Company Denies, Delays or Low-Balls?
example of roof damageA: In my experience, most of the times the insurance company does the right thing. Sometimes, the insurance company will have an “independent” engineer or roofer come to inspect the roof. That “independent” engineer or roofer may say that the roof has no damage...the insurance company may deny the claim ... The insurance company’s “no,” is not the end of the inquiry…it is just the beginning.

Pictured Above: Siding Damage

Some hail damage is easy to spot – like when it knocks holes in your pool screen, or dents the metal or lead boots on your roof.

DEGRANULATION - But, just as significant for the integrity of the roof is hail damage that can only be seen close up. Often when hail hits a roof it causes what is known as “degranulation” of the shingles. Degranulation can only be seen on close inspection by someone who knows what they are looking for. When hail causes degranulation, the integrity of the shingle is compromised, and the serviceable life of the shingle is significantly shortened. This warrants roof replacement under your homeowners insurance policy.

 

Guide For Hail Damage of a Roof

Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Certified Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Certified
Wood Shake Damage Modified Bitumen Damage

If you are a homeowner that has recently been through a hailstorm and would like to inspect it for hail damage, the following quick guide will give you a basic understanding of what to look for.

Inspect your roof promptly after a storm: Any storm or wind alone can damage a roof, so the sooner you inspect the roof after a storm, the better you can avoid leak damage inside the home. If an insurance claim for roof damage is warranted, you'll be able to provide better data to support your claim.

Inspect your roof gutters and the ground: before and after a storm. If the gutters were clean and after the storm they are loaded with mineral granules you have strong evidence of roof wear and damage due to the hail storm.

Free Inspection: If you spot a potential issue during your annual checkup or suspect any sort of wind or hail damage after a severe storm, you may always contact Curb Appeal Roofing Construction for a free roof inspection. Just call us at 405.601.9222.

Our trained representative can discover if there is hidden damage. We can distinguish between hail damage from natural wear and hail damage from a storm. We'll also educate you on your findings. And, we'll make recommendations as to whether a repair is needed and/or call to the insurance company is necessary. Read on for more useful tips and information!

Size of Hail and Examples of Damage

If you were around during the hailstorm and have an idea of the size of hail that fell, it will give you a basis for what kind of roof hail damage to expect. Here's some examples of damage resulting from different sizes of hail.

Less Than 1 Inch: When smaller than an inch (or about the size of a quarter) hail can inflict damage to asphalt roofing. Most often though, this damage can be more difficult to identify. You may require the assistance of a trained roofing inspector to accurately identify any hail damage.

1 Inch – 2 Inch: If the hail size is between 1 and 2 inches (or between quarter and the size of an egg) hail damage should be more easily seen on the asphalt shingles themselves, as well as any soft metal on the roof.

Greater Than 2 Inches: If any of the hail is greater than 2 inches, it will almost guarantee some level of hail damage to an asphalt roof. If this has happened to your property, contact your preferred roofing or construction contractor for a full assessment of damages. Notify your insurance company.

 

Hail Damage to An Asphalt Roof

Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Certified Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Certified
Hail Hits on Asphalt Shingles Closeup of Hail Damage

When searching for the hail damage to an asphalt roof, look at the following susceptible areas first:

Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Certified
Soft Metal Damage

Soft Metal: First, search for damage to any soft metal on the roof. Check roof vents, skylights, flashing, metal valleys, gutters and any other soft metal on the roof. Soft metal damage will not only show signs of hail, but also indicate the size of the hail that damaged the roof.

Ridges: The very peak of a ridge (or ridge cap) will take a hail hit directly, as opposed to the glancing blows on the main pitched roof slopes. Also - due to their location, ridges are more susceptible to damaging hail hits, regardless of the direction from which the hailstorm came.

 

It's a good idea to inspect your roof at least annually. We recommend you do it before and after the severe weather seasons in Oklahoma. In this way, you can find and fix damage before it becomes a more costly leak.

You can call Curb Appeal Roofing Construction to help you inspect your roof. Remember, we offer free roof inspections. 405.601.9222

GAF Also produces EverGuard Extreme® 60 mil TPO, EverGuard Extreme® 70 mil TPO, and EverGuard Extreme® 80 mil TPO. The 70 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO is the perfect replacement for standard 80 mil TPO membranes, offering superior performance at an economical price. Whereas the 80 mil is their thickest, highest performing TPO roofing membrane, suitable for standard use or able to meet the most demanding situations. These are perfect for Oklahoma Commercial Roofs.

All of these products are manufactured with their new technology named EverGuard Extreme® , which was developed to protect your Oklahoma commercial roof under extreme heat and UV situations.

As more and more companies install and mount solar panels directly on their commercial membrane roofs, new challenges are faced in roofing technology to meet the extreme heat build up which occurs on the roofing surfaces near the solar panels. Without enhanced UV and heat protection, your roofing membranes can fail early. Removing the BIPV and repairing failed roofing membrane is expensive.

EverGuard Extreme® TPO was engineered to last longer with solar installations. EverGuard Extreme® TPO uses proprietary stabilizers and UV absorbers to create a TPO roofing system for Oklahoma roofs that will withstand the most severe weathering and aging situations.

Please read more about this on their page: http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Commercial/Products/Single_Ply_Roofing/EverGuard_TPO_Single_Ply_Membranes/EverGuard_Extreme_60

GAF has a TPO product that is Fleece-backed. It allows you to install this new roofing system over your existing Oklahoma roof. You can even install it over abrasive surfaces! If your current roof is a concrete or granule-surfaced membrane roof, no protective sheet is required to install this new roof.

Additional pluses: it can be mechanically attached, fully adhered using adhesives, or mopped in hot asphalt.

And, to meet the demands Oklahoma Commercial Roofs, it even has configurations for enhanced hail resistance!

If you want to add color to your Oklahoma TPO roof, maybe make a compelling statement or even place your company logo on your commercial building roof, you can do it with TPO roofing products from GAF and Mule-Hide.

GAF has standard colors, pre-formulated colors, and a huge selection of custom colors. On their website, they state that no other single-ply or metal roofing manufacturer offers more color choices than they do. (Here is their article: http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Commercial/Products/Single_Ply_Roofing/EverGuard_TPO_Single_Ply_Membranes ) Additionally, most colors come with their reflective and energy cost reducing "Cool Color" technology. Add to this, special pigment to reduce fading, and you can have a roof top that is highly personalized. Custom order matching roofing system accessories are also available.

Their TPO roofing accessories and components include an extensive line of flashing accessories which are heat welded to their roofing membrane.  These work well in Oklahoma for Oklahoma commercial roofs. The stnadard colors for their flashing accessories are usually white, gray, and tan.

GAF has come out with an extremely durable, high-performance TPO membrane roofing technology that is perfect for Oklahoma Roofing and for Oklahoma commercial roof jobs. This is so new, it is patent pending! You can read more about it here: http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Commercial/Products/Single_Ply_Roofing/EverGuard_TPO_Single_Ply_Membranes

This is such an amazing product, that GAF is calling it the "next generation". They've named it EverGuard Extreme® TPO Roofing. Currently, they manufacture it in 50, 60, 70, and 80 mil.

It's mission: provide "next-generation performance against heat aging and UV degradation". *

Of course, you will also want to ask us about their highly rated, value-priced Smooth TPO Roofing System. They named it EverGuard® TPO, probably because they wanted to convey the idea that it would guard your building for a long time. It is puncture resistant, had strong seams, is cost-effective, and provides a high level of protection against weathering. This is a very reliable roofing system for Oklahoma commercial roofs. This TPO product is also well suited to the needs of Oklahoma commercial roofs.

Mule-Hide really does manufacture an affordable TPO Membrane Roofing System. Their products are based upon technology that was developed in the automotive industry to create impact and UV resistant products.

Mule-Hide TPO roofing is available in White, Gray, and Tan. Other colors are available by special order. You can also order the membranes in fleece-backed versions. Special order colors include a variety of browns, blues, reds, greens, and grays such as sky blue, regal blue, teal, and a blue-green color they call Tropical Patina.

Mule-Hide's TPO Membrane Roofing is great for Oklahoma weather! It's lightweight yet resistant to impact, tears, punctures, and heavy wind uplift - the very things that assault a roof in hail storms, heavy storms, or heavy winds.

Curb Appeal Construction also likes Mule-Hide's TPO membrane roofing products because they are environmentally friendly: you won't get any plasticizer migration, there's no chlorine in the product, and it's even recyclable! You can hardly beat that!

TPO WARRANTY PROGRAM FROM MULE-HIDE

It's important to know that your investment is protected by a great warranty. And, Mule-Hide offers an extensive warranty program. You can choose from several warranty options including membrane warranties and system warranties.

This is a great choice for everyday type roofing needs for your TPO roof here in Oklahoma. The 50 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO can cost-effectively replace standard 60 mil TPO roofing.

This roof really meets the challenges of heat build up on flat or low slope roofing systems on Oklahoma Commercial roofs. The 50 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO has advanced Heat & UV protection.

This is also the roofing system you'll want to consider if you have solar panels mounted directly onto your white roofing membrane. Without enhanced UV and heat protection systems, your commercial TPO roof membranes can fail prematurely.

EverGuard Extreme® TPO was engineered to protect premature failure in TPO roofs, due to high heat and solar loading.

While TPO single-ply roofing membranes have an excellent history in protecting Oklahoma commercial roofs, they are subject to damage by extreme heat, sunlight and UV. According to GAF, solar panels can create areas of high temperatures up to 190 degrees F on roofing areas immediately near them. See http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Commercial/Products/Single_Ply_Roofing/EverGuard_TPO_Single_Ply_Membranes/EverGuard_Extreme_50 for a discussion about this. 

GAF's solution is the EverGuard Extreme®: TPO formulated for the most severe weather and temperature commercial roofing system needs.
