Got pounded with hail last night, golf ball to tennis ball size with lots of smaller stuff. Vehicles were inside but the house took a few hits. Not near as bad as I thought it would be, gutters have some dings but not bad. Fascia took a few hits and a few holes in screens. Haven't been on the roof yet but can see the vents got dinged up a bit. Given the size of the hail and the vents, my experience is they'll probably say the roof is toast.
I used to do a lot of hail repairs in the remodeling/construction business but am pretty far removed. What is the best way to play a hail claim these days? I am not trying to make money or screw anyone over. The damage is minimal and I had to replace the roof a few years ago due to a hail claim right when we moved in. I did the work myself but that seems to be more frowned upon anymore. I just don't know that it needs to be done, but not sure how to play it. Really don't want to raise the rates either.
My insurance agent already called this morning and there are four roofing company signs in the neighborhood already. Incredible. Anyhow, any advice is appreciated!
