Complete Hail Damage Repair for Single-Family Homes – Just $3,500!
In the event of a hailstorm in your area, there are several scenarios that can exist, because there are several types of policies that exist.
But one thing is certain: You have sustained a loss, and your insurance company must pay you for that loss.
If you’ve never filed a hail damage insurance claim before, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started, and how Planet Safe Roof Repair makes the process simple, stress-free, and fully supported.
You don’t need to be an insurance expert. You just need Planet Safe Roof Repair — your local, licensed, and reliable partner for all hail damage repairs.
As Insurance companies adapt to technology advances, their payment methods have also evolved.
In days gone by, insurance carriers had roofing representative write checks for the damage at the same time as the inspection. This still happens today, but normally with the smaller carriers.
This is a method used most often today. After the insurance representative has viewed the damage, he or she will write a report to give to you and the insurance company. This can take up to ten days to two weeks. You will receive a check in the mail, and the amount will vary depending upon what type of coverage you have. The majority of people have a policy called Replacement Cost Coverage. If you have this type of coverage, you can expect to receive a check for about 50% to 60% of the value to replace the entire roof.
CHECK YOUR CHECK! Many insurance companies today will include your mortgage company on the check as a “Payee”. If this is the case, the check MUST also have their endorsement before you can deposit it.
Our recommendation is to call your mortgage company to determine their preferred method of handling this situation. If the mortgage company is local to you, such as your bank, you can usually stop by a branch office to get the endorsement. If the mortgage company is out of state, usually the check must be mailed to obtain their endorsement.
If they are out of state, be sure to ask for the address for mailing. Often, it is a different address than where you send your mortgage payments.
Many insurance companies today, especially the larger companies, have developed a direct deposit system that deposits the money directly to your bank account. This is by far the easiest way to get paid quickly!

“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 damaged 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.”
National Roofing Contractors Association Sponsored Paper:
“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.”
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.
When it comes to getting a new roof, the problem isn’t the fresh shingles—it’s what happens to the old ones. As professional roofing contractors, we see a hidden issue that most homeowners never consider: roofing waste.
An average roof replacement involves removing 7,500 pounds of old asphalt shingles—that’s over 3 tons (30 squares at 250 lbs per square). Where does all that debris go? Most of the time, it ends up in a landfill.
While some shingles are recycled, the reality is that the vast majority are not. Why? Because recycling costs money, and many contractors choose the cheaper route: disposal.
Asphalt shingles are made from petroleum—similar to tires—and like tires, they don’t decompose. That means they’ll sit in a landfill forever.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:
“Asphalt roofing shingles are one of the major components of the debris generated from construction, demolition, and renovation projects… 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)
It’s a massive, long-term environmental issue—and it’s growing.

The moment of truth: something your roofing manufacturer will not tell you: 25% of our landfills are asphalt roofing materials. 97% goes to landfills, not roads. Why? Because its expensive and its cheaper to lie about problem than to fix it. Please share this video to make the difference.
