Before Hail Season Hits Colorado

We know having all your ducks in a row come storm season is easier said than done, but it’s never too late to check in on some of these storm season prep tasks.

Get Familiar With Your Insurance Policy

Before the threat of hail damage in Parker looms, we recommend taking a good, hard look at your insurance policy. Even if you think you already know what it says, it doesn’t hurt to look again. Homeowners insurance, especially here in Colorado, is a constantly changing industry and the best practices evolve rapidly. More and more often, we are seeing percentage deductibles for wind and hail damage becoming standard practice. This change may not seem like a big deal, but when it comes time to evaluate hail damage in Parker and, all of a sudden, your deductible is 1% of the total value of your home, you may be singing another tune. Should your coverage change, your insurance company need only include a cover letter in your annual policy renewal noting the changes and this is easily missed if you’re not looking for it. If you have any questions - or even think you might have a question - give your agent a call. You likely choose to work with them when you got your policy because you trusted them and there’s no better time to ask questions about your coverage than before you experience property damage.

Before Or During Hail Season

The earlier you can address items related to taking care of your property, the better. We know this isn’t always possible, though.

Start Vetting Local Contractors

Even if you don’t have hail damage in Parker after the first few storms of the season, it doesn’t hurt to start doing your research on local contractors. Many factors can weigh into your decision to hire a specific contractor and the stress of hail damage that’s already occurred shouldn’t have to be one of them.

Many of them will offer incentives - some more white hat than others - to hire them to handle your hail damage in Parker. This situation makes it challenging to perform the kind of thorough research you really want to do before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a roof repair.
