How soon after a hail storm should I get an inspection?

As soon as reasonably possible. Most carriers require claims to be filed within a year of the storm date, and evidence gets harder to distinguish as time passes. We recommend documentation within a few weeks of any significant hail event in the Fox Valley.

Is the hail damage inspection really free?

Yes. Hammerfall Roofing provides free, no-pressure hail damage assessments across St. Charles and the Fox Valley — including a written Roof Report with photos, whether or not a claim is filed.

What if my roof doesn't have damage?

We'll tell you. Our reputation depends on honesty. If your roof is sound, we'll document that too — many homeowners keep our reports on file for future reference.

Do you work directly with insurance carriers?

Yes. Dean is a licensed public adjuster and can document, negotiate, and advocate on your behalf throughout the claims process — no aggression, just precision.

About Our Hail Damage Roof Inspection Service

Documented Hail Assessments — Not a Sales Pitch

Hail damage often looks like nothing from the ground. What we're actually looking for — bruised mats, fractured shingle backers, dislodged granules, damaged pipe boots, dented gutter aprons, and hits on soft metals — requires a trained eye on the roof and up-close photography.

Dean personally walks every hail inspection. You receive a written Roof Report with photos of every finding, whether we recommend filing a claim or not. If your roof is fine, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we document to the standard insurance carriers require.
