Colorado, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma experience their fair share of hail storms which damages leading roofing brands and top-rated gutter guards. If you suspect you might need gutter installation, be sure to contact us before making any repairs.
Every time a hail storm bombards roofs, windows, and gutter systems, homeowners are left scrambling to find honest and quick contractors to repair the damage done. If you were a part of a recent storm or want to know how to prepare for hail in the future, our team at All American Construction this comprehensive, step-by-step guide to assess your gutters for hail damage repair.
Step One: Inspect Your Gutter System for Hail Damage
If your roof has been damaged by hail, your gutters have most likely been affected as well. Even though your gutter system has been designed to bare the weight of rain, snow, and ice, hail can damage even the strongest of gutter systems. Hail dents in your gutters may cause leaks, pooling water, damaged downspouts and outlets, broken gutter hangers, can all jeopardize the way that water is directed away from your home.
After a storm hits, go around your home and try to identify any visible signs of hail damage. Walk below your gutters to inspect for dents, check for any pieces that are hanging off or appear loose, and look near your downspouts for granules from roof shingles. If any of these signs are evident, the next step is to contact your insurance provider.
Remember, your gutters are part of your home, which means that the claims adjuster should account for all parts of the system, including the gutters themselves, the downspouts, spout extensions and gutter covers (if you have them).
Step Three: Call Us
The best order of operations for getting hail damage repaired is as follows:
1) Call your insurance
2) Call a roofing company
3) Call a professional gutter company
Step Four: Gutter Installation or repair
The last step is getting your gutter system fixed! In most cases, the damaged gutter will need to be completely replaced. You cannot undo a dent in a gutter like you can a dent on a car. A great gutter company will offer a variety of colors, we offer steel color options from two local suppliers for you to pick from. If you are trying to match an existing color, and that color is no longer available, your insurance company may be obligated to replace the entire system, even if there are some parts and pieces that have no damage.
