Insurance adjuster coming for hail damage? Read this first.
Straight talk from a local roofer who meets adjusters in Milford, OH.
You spotted dings on the car and shingle grit in the gutter after that last storm rolled through Milford. Now the insurance adjuster is on the way and you are not sure what to say. You just want a fair shot at a roof that keeps water out of your living room.
Hail hits asphalt shingles hard enough to bruise the mat beneath the granules. You may see small dimples or dark spots from the ground, but the real damage hides where the impact crushed the waterproof core. Those bruised spots let water soak in slowly over time. Left alone, they turn into leaks long after the storm is forgotten.
A full roof replacement for a typical Milford ranch or split-level runs between $8,000 and $14,000. The final number depends on the pitch, the number of layers to tear off, and whether decking needs repair. Insurance may only approve a patch if the adjuster misses the widespread bruising. That patch fixes one spot while the rest of the roof keeps aging under the next storm.
Do not let the adjuster walk the roof alone. Call a roofer who documents hail damage every week and knows how to speak insurance. TruRoof will meet the adjuster at your house, mark every hit with chalk, and show the photos that match your policy language. You stay on the ground. We handle the ladder, the photos, and the paperwork.
Once the claim is approved, the crew tears off the old shingles, replaces any soft decking, and installs a new roof rated for Ohio weather. The dumpster disappears from your driveway. You get a roof that sheds hail without drama and a file full of paperwork that proves the job was done right.
What people in Milford say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."

Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from the ground. Call a roofing company that handles storm damage. They will check for hidden damage and help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement.

You can replace a single shingle if you have the right nails, sealant, and ladder safety gear. But if you break the seal on nearby shingles or nail in the wrong spot, you create a bigger leak. For anything more than one or two shingles, call a roofer.
