Hail Damage Repair Costs: RainTight Advises Victims to Avoid Storm Chaser Roofing Contractors

March 24, 2012 - PRLog -- In Dallas, hail causes damage to roofs. Most times the damage can be repaired keeping the hail damage repair costs to a minimum. Sometimes the damage is so severe that it results in replacing the entire roof. How do you know when repairs aren’t enough and it is time to replace the entire roof?

Roof replacement due to severe hail damage is one of the most expensive hail damage repair costs for homeowners and insurance companies. Hail can vary in size dramatically, falling as small as the size of tiny pellets, or as large as baseballs. It is typically the larger hail that can cause enough damage to your roof beyond repair that will justify a roof replacement.

Miller Weedn, a hail damage repair expert and the owner of Dallas based RainTight General Contracting states, "There is a misconception if your roof sustains damage from a hail storm that your roof needs to be replaced immediately. You'll find conflicting opinions online from roofers that advise immediately replacing your roof, generally at high hail damage repair costs for their own greatest profitability, not the customer's best interests."

Typically the damage sustained from an average hail storm will pose no immediate threat to your roof. The threat is in the longevity of the roof, because hail can dramatically decrease a roof's life expectancy. The deteriorated protection from a roof that is not expected to last its full life is why insurance companies will authorize the replacement of your roof.

Weedn cautions hail damage victims to avoid storm chasers.

"Homeowners need to beware of 'storm chasers.' Storm chasers are typically identified as an out of town roofing contractor that goes door to door after a hail storm soliciting for business. The roofing industry is rife with these types of nefarious scams. While it may seem tempting and convenient, these roofers can do more harm than good. Because of this, it is advisable to seek the services of a reputable local general contractor for your hail damage repairs", concluded Weedn.

If you think your home has sustained roof hail damage, it is advisable to get a professional opinion from a local and reputable general contractor outside the roofing industry. RainTight General Contracting is one such reputable local contractor in the Dallas Texas area. They provide free roofing estimates upon request for your hail damage repair costs.
