Storm Damage FAQ's hail storm hailstorm damage hail damage roof

When hail hits your roof, it can cause significant damage. The granules on asphalt shingles often become loose or fall off, and in many cases, hail can even crack or break shingles entirely.

One of the most common warning signs is when these loose granules wash into your gutters and downspouts after a storm. This can compromise both your roofing system and your drainage system.

Older roofs are especially susceptible to hail damage, as shingles naturally weaken over time and lose their protective coating. A severe hailstorm in Omaha, Lincoln, or across Nebraska can quickly accelerate the aging of your roof.

While you may be tempted to climb onto your roof to check for damage—such as missing shingles, dimpled spots, or visible cracks—we strongly advise against it. Roof inspections are dangerous without proper training and equipment.

Instead, trust the experts at Husker Window Solutions for a professional hail damage roof inspection. We have the experience to safely identify hidden storm damage and guide you through the insurance claim process if repairs or replacement are needed.

When a hailstorm hits your home, the first signs of damage may not be your windows—it might actually be your yard. If your shrubs, trees, or bushes are broken, with scattered leaves and branches, it’s a strong indicator that your windows may also have sustained hail damage.

1. Shattered or broken glass
2. Broken or severely dented window frames
3. Torn or ripped window screens
4. Cracked glazing (the seal around the glass)
5. Dented metal flashing or metal frames above or around the window

Wind and hail are the leading causes of siding damage in Nebraska. Two of the most common indicators include:

• 🕳️ Holes in vinyl siding
• 💥 Dents in aluminum siding

These are the most widely used siding materials on homes, and they are especially vulnerable to hail impact. In many cases, only one side of the home’s exterior is affected, leaving homeowners with the challenge of matching new replacement siding to the existing color and material.

The severity of a hailstorm can range from a minor inconvenience to a major destructive event. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), hailstones fall from heights of up to 30,000 feet, striking the ground at speeds of up to 120 mph. These storms cause more than $1 billion in property and crop damage every year.

At Husker Window Solutions, we specialize in identifying and restoring hail damaged siding in Omaha, Lincoln, and across Nebraska. Whether your home has minor dents or major exterior destruction, our team works with your insurance company to restore your siding to pre-storm condition.

If your home has sustained roof hail damage, it’s important to file an insurance claim quickly and accurately. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Find your homeowner’s insurance policy and note your policy number and deductible. The deductible will play an important role in determining your out-of-pocket costs.

Organize all important details, including:

• 📑 Insurance policy number
• 📅 Date and time of loss
• 🌩️ Hail size (if known)
• 📷 Photos and videos of damage (roof, windows, siding, gutters)
• 📝 List of damaged items

Contact your homeowner’s insurance claims department and provide the requested information.

Your insurer will issue you a claim number. Keep this number handy—it will be your reference throughout the entire process.

When an insurance claims examiner is assigned, send them your photos and videos. This added documentation helps confirm the hail event and supports your claim.

The claims examiner will assign an insurance adjuster to conduct an official roof inspection and prepare a repair or replacement estimate.
