Hail Storm Alert!
Early this morning, Monticello, MN was hit by a severe hail storm, with hailstones measuring up to 3.5 inches in diameter damaging roofs and siding. Other towns impacted by the storm include Big Lake, Albertville, St. Michael, Hanover, Oakdale, and parts of Woodbury.
Tips for Navigating a Hail Storm
Hold Off on Signing Paperwork: Avoid signing any contracts with contractors immediately. While having a roofing contractor present when the insurance adjuster arrives is helpful, wait until after the adjustment process is complete before making any commitments.
Choose a Local Roofing Contractor: Be wary of storm chasers who travel from afar to take advantage of storm-damaged areas. Consider the long-term reliability of a contractor — where will they be six months or ten years from now?
Assess Contractor Expertise: Ensure the roofing contractor you select has the necessary business acumen and experience to help you maximize your insurance claim effectively.
