Hail
Every impact matters.

Hail effects depend on the material and conditions. A qualified inspection can help distinguish storm damage from wear or other causes.

Understand your claim

A roof deserves a closer look.

UCAG uses detailed inspection methods to identify hail damage that may be overlooked. A hail review connects the storm, the affected materials, and the proposed repairs. Ground-level observations can help identify areas for a qualified inspection; they do not replace that inspection.

Build a clear record

What should you document?

01

Dated storm information and photographs

02

Roofing, gutters, siding, screens, and other impacted surfaces

03

Inspection findings, repairability, and relevant cosmetic-damage provisions

Protect people first and follow emergency instructions. Coverage, exclusions, deductibles, duties, and deadlines depend on the policy and applicable rules. A loss does not automatically establish coverage.

How UCAG helps

The policy. The damage. The documentation.

UCAG reviews the available policy and claim records, documents the reported loss, and helps policyholders understand disputed scope and payment questions. A review can address a new, denied, underpaid, delayed, or closed claim.

Preparedness & prevention

Prepare for impacts before the warning.

You cannot stop hail, but you can reduce exposure and make informed material choices.

01

Plan your roofing choice

When reroofing, compare tested impact-resistant products with a qualified roofer. Review installation requirements and local suitability.

02

Shelter movable property

Move vehicles and vulnerable outdoor belongings under substantial cover before the storm, if there is safe time.

03

Keep the exterior maintained

Address loose or deteriorated components before severe weather rather than waiting for a hail warning.

04

Stay away from glass

Use a sheltered interior area during the storm. Do not step outside to collect hailstones or take photos.

Impact-resistant does not mean hail-proof. Protection depends on the product, installation, condition and severity of the storm.

Straightforward answers

Common questions.

Do dents mean the entire roof needs replacement?

Not by themselves. The roofing material, condition, extent of the loss, repairability and policy terms need review. Avoid a conclusion based only on a few visible marks.

Why photograph gutters and screens?

They can help document the condition after a storm. Each affected surface still needs its own assessment; an impact on one material does not establish the condition of another.

What if the insurer calls it cosmetic?

Keep the written explanation and the relevant policy language. Ask the inspecting professional to document what was observed and why it affects the proposed scope of work.
