Overland Park sits right in hail country, and every spring brings storms that can quietly total a roof. If a big one just rolled through, here’s a calm, step-by-step plan — no panic, no storm-chasers.
1. Stay off the roof
Wet or hail-damaged roofs are slick and unstable. Check for damage from the ground and the attic, and leave the climbing to someone insured to do it.
2. Document everything
Photograph dented gutters, downspouts, screens, and any shingles in the yard. Note the date and time of the storm. This is the evidence your insurance adjuster will want.
3. Get a free inspection before you file
A reputable local roofer will inspect for free and tell you honestly whether the damage is worth a claim. Filing a claim that gets denied can still count against you, so it’s worth knowing first.
4. Be wary of door-knockers
After every big storm, out-of-town crews flood the neighborhood. They collect your deductible, cut corners, and are three states away when the roof leaks. Choose a roofer who’ll still be here next spring.
5. Let your roofer meet the adjuster
We meet adjusters on site so the scope is accurate and nothing legitimate gets missed. You pay your deductible; we handle the rest of the paperwork.
Storm damage doesn’t have to be stressful. Start with an honest inspection and go from there.
