Complete hail damage repair for $3500!
Our all-inclusive price for any single-family residential home includes no add-on fees, no up-selling, no surprises, and a LIFETIME WARRANTY
Here’s how the process works:
- After a hailstorm, insurance providers are typically responsible for paying the value of replacing the roof.
- Homeowners call the insurance provider to initiate a claim.
- The provider schedules an inspection to assess the damage and prepares an estimate to replace the roof (using a software program called Xactimate).
- If the adjuster agrees there has been damage to the roof, they will prepare an estimate for the cost. The provider then sends a check for the amount of the estimate made payable to the homeowner.
- You deposit the funds into your bank account.
- You pay us $3500. for all repair work
We will assist you with all paperwork required by your insurance provider, at no cost.

PROTOCOL FOR ASSESSMENT OF HAIL-DAMAGED ROOFING
National Roofing Contractors Association Sponsored Paper:
Timothy P. Marshall and Richard F. Herzog, Haag Engineering, Carrollton, Texas, USA
“There are many types of repairs that can be done on asphalt shingle roofs that have limited hail damage. One option is to remove and replace the damaged shingle. Shingles sealed down with an adhesive strip will have to be unbonded before the fasteners are removed in the dam- aged shingle, as well as in the overlying shingle. When new shingles are installed, dabs of asphalt plastic cement can be used to seal the new shingles to the original shingles and cover the old nail holes. If the shingle color cannot be matched or the damaged shingle adequately removed, a surface repair can be made with asphalt plastic roof cement and shingle granules.”

HAIL DAMAGE TO ROOFING: ASSESSMENT AND CLASSIFICATION
National Roofing Contractors Association Sponsored Paper:
William C. Cullen, National Roofing Contractors Association, Washington D.C. USA
“Maintenance and repair options for hail damage are very broad. Just as damage is roof-system specific, maintenance and repair alternatives are also roof system specific. Repair decisions must follow after analysis of data from visual observations and test results. The significance and degree of damage will determine the remedial techniques required. These options include spot repair, recoating, recovering the damaged areas and, in extreme cases, reroofing of the damaged system. The economics of repair vs. reroofing should dictate the choice.”

LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF HAIL IMPACT ON ASPHALT SHINGLES
HAAG Engineering Sponsored Paper:
Scott J. Morrison, Haag Engineering, Carrollton, Texas, USA
Some impacts made with freezer ice on laminated shingles dislodged granules from exposures without exposing asphalt. Granules subsequently were shed at impact locations over time with natural weathering. Careful examination at these locations revealed a continuous bed of granules immersed in the asphalt. There was no reduction in the expected service life of the shingles as granules on the shingles continued to protect the underlying asphalt and reinforcement. The condition was not functional damage but merely a cosmetic condition.
Something to Think About
The Hidden Impact: Roofing Waste Problem
The problem with new roofing isn’t the new roof, It’s what to do with the old roof. As Roofing Contractors, we have a unique perspective on a growing problem that most people wouldn’t think about. There are approximately 7500 pounds of shingles on the average roof (30 Squares @ 250lbs per square). Think about that. Over 3 tons of asphalt shingles. When a contractor tears off your old roof and throws it all in that black trash trailer parked in your driveway, where do they go?? To the LANDFILL! Some get recycled, but the vast majority don’t because of cost to the contractor. Asphalt shingles are a petroleum product, similar to tires. Neither will decompose, which means that both will sit where they are placed until the end of time. Note this from the EPA:
“Asphalt roofing shingles are one of the major components of the debris generated from construction, demolition, and renovation projects. Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing material used in both new homes and roof replacements, accounting for more than 60% of the residential roofing market in the United States. Approximately 11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste is generated each year in the United States”. (EPA – 1998)
