Frequently Asked Questions

Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage such as hail or wind. Coverage varies by policy, but storm events commonly impact:
Roofing (shingles, flashing, vents)

Gutters and downspouts
Soffit and fascia

If additional work is justified, we can provide documentation to support a supplement request.
