When The Hail Storms Hit, Do You Know Who's Repairing Your Damage?

Hail storms have already hit North Georgia this year and now is the time to look for a contractor to repair the damage hail and wind can cause. Even if the storms haven't hit your home, it's a good practice to have a company if the storms hit and you need someone to repair hail damage on your house, here's a few questions to ask yourself when looking for a contractor:

Are they experienced professionals? Or are they new to the industry? You need a company of people who have experience in the storm restoration field that have the knowledge, skill, and expertise to get the job done.​​ You need a contractor that won't waste your time, that can tell you right away that hail has done damage to your home and that they can repair it.

Are they established? Or are they just working out of a truck? Serious contractors have a centralized address, a tax identification number, and a business license. If your contractor can not produce proof of these things, you're putting your house at risk.

Are they working safely? Or they cutting safety corners whenever they can? OSHA regulations are serious business and are put in place for the safety of the employees and clients alike. Take repairing hail damage on a steep slope roof, in some cases a pair of special boots have to be used to grip the roof, and on some cases a harass and rope. The best thing you can do is hire a contractor who will use the right safety equipment from inspection to cleanup.

Are they licensed for your state? Or are they just rolling into town with nothing? Depending on the state, a  contractor may need a license to practice any kind of work. Check your state’s licensing requirements, and then check to make sure that your roofer has a license. If your contractor; for example, is from another state and can not produce a proper license for your state, there's a good chance they're just there to repair some hail damage for a quick buck and take it back home with no little to no real concern for you, watch out and make sure they're legal to do business in your area.
