After storm damage to your roof, do four things in order: stop any water coming in, document the damage with photos, get an honest inspection from a licensed local roofer, and then decide whether to file an insurance claim. Do not sign with a door-to-door contractor on the spot, and remember that no roofer may legally pay, waive or rebate your deductible in Colorado or Texas. Repairs over 100 square feet in El Paso County need a PPRBD permit pulled by a licensed contractor or an owner-occupant. The guides below walk through each step by market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do in the first hour after a storm damages my roof?

Stay safe and off the roof. If water is coming in, move belongings, catch the drip and call for a temporary repair or tarp. Photograph the damage and any hail on the ground with something for scale, and keep receipts for emergency work.

How can I tell hail damage from normal wear?

Hail leaves random hits: dark bruises, granule loss in circles, cracked or punctured shingles, and dents in soft metals like vents and gutters. Wear shows up evenly across a slope. A trained inspector can tell the difference up close.

Someone knocked on my door after the storm. Should I sign?

Not on the spot. Check the local license and insurance, ask for a written contract with the full scope, and never accept an offer to cover your deductible. That offer is illegal in both Colorado and Texas.
