Hail Damage Repair For Akron Homes
A hail bruise is a spot where the impact cracked the shingle mat underneath the granules. From the ground it is invisible. In a year or two the granules shed, the asphalt is exposed to sun, and the shingle fails early. That is why Akron homeowners often find out about hail damage after the claim window has closed.
We cover Akron from our Wadsworth office, about 20 min away. A hail inspection is free and comes with a written photo report.
How We Document Hail Damage
- Ten-by-ten test squares chalked on every slope
- Strike counts per square, photographed
- Collateral damage: vents, gutters, downspouts, window wraps and siding
- Weather data tied to your date of loss
- A written report you keep whether you hire us or not
Local Factors In Akron
Storms
Where severe weather is concerned in Akron, ice damming is close to a regional default, and the claim window usually closes before the symptom shows up.
Housing
Housing in Akron adds a wrinkle: there is a great deal of pre-1950 housing in this area, and what is under the shingles is frequently a surprise.
