Published 2023-07-18
Learn secrets and tips from these roof inspections I did after the recent massive hail storms in Colorado Springs.
🔥At the end of this video I give you a specific example of a recent client who got a very unpleasant surprise from her insurance company when she filed her claim.
🔥And, there's another surprise about a popular impact resistant shingle that I really don't like!
So... What should you do right after a hail storm? Should you call your insurance company? Should you call a roofer? In this video you'll get to come with me on inspections of 5 roofs and what the homeowners should do after the massive hail storm that hit Colorado Springs in June, 2023.

    Props to your honesty, plenty of contractors would have recommended a claim be filed just out of greed. Honest roofing companies unite!
  • @beerguyflake2745
    Every time I see some one in your business walks on a roof it amazes me
  • @davidhahn4854
    You have ALL the answers to my questions lately, sir!
  • @SW-nq1bx
    Mad respect for you Sir! It makes me anxious just watching you climbing onto tops of roofs! Thank you for educating us with your experience and knowledge.
  • @havalhasan6463
    I live in Colorado Springs area where your company is based. Your videos are very helpful. I have learnt a lot from it.

    12 mins of up to tennis ball size hail Sep. 29, 2023 North Austin/Round Rock, TX area = file home owners insurance claim literally 10 mins after the storm, after seeing this size hail land inside our house from breaking through the windows and holes through the house siding exposing pink insulation. That IS the right thing to do.

    5:24 zero pay claims I can see hurting...but a number of claims from "declared catastrophe" zones should not hurt
  • I live in Ohio where they just pay onezy twozies I call it. Basically damage on a scale of 1-10 maybe a 1 or 2. I am honest like you but it gets me nowhere here in Columbus as I see roofs get torn up that have no damage on them all the time. The doorknockers are so bad that some homeowners will think I'm lying when I'm telling them what I just said.

  • @CHYRULES

  • @shellrie1
    Interesting video. How would you make a determination on whether to replace or repair a roof from hail damage?
  • @Jdauenhauer

  • Hi Sir, your videos are great! I need your help. How can I communicate with you?
  • @tonyc223
