Buford Storm & Hail Damage Check

Signs of storm and hail damage on a Buford roof

Hail damage often isn't obvious from the ground. By the time you see a leak, water has usually been getting in for a while. Watch for:

• Bruising and missing granules. Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles, leaving dark, soft spots. You may find the granules piling up in your gutters.
• Dents on metal. Check gutters, downspouts, vents, flashing, and the top of your AC unit. Dents there usually mean the roof took hits too.
• Lifted or missing shingles. The straight-line winds that rip down the Mall of Georgia corridor break the seal under shingles or tear them off, especially on the windward side and along ridges.
• Interior stains. Brown rings on a ceiling or damp spots in the attic mean water is already getting past the roof.

How roof insurance claims work in Georgia

If a covered storm damaged your roof, your homeowner's policy may pay for repair or a full replacement, and you typically owe only your deductible. The keys are timing and documentation. Georgia policies generally require you to file within a year or two of the storm, and the damage has to be documented properly for the adjuster.

If the roof is on you, not insurance

Not every claim gets approved, and an older roof at the end of its life is often a homeowner expense rather than a covered loss. If that is where you land, the Buford roof cost calculator gives you a fast price range by home size and material so there are no surprises before the free inspection.
