Living in Colorado means enjoying beautiful mountain views, clean air, and all four seasons — but it also means dealing with the realities of living in “Hail Alley.” Stretching through the Front Range, this area experiences some of the most frequent and damaging hailstorms in the United States. If you’re a homeowner in cities like Arvada, Highlands Ranch, or Parker, it’s not a matter of if hail will hit — but when. Here’s what you need to do when hail strikes.
Step 1: Stay Safe and Document the Damage
As soon as the storm passes, walk around your home and take clear photos of any visible damage. Look for dented gutters, cracked siding, broken windows, and of course, damaged shingles or roofing components. Even if the damage seems minor, take photos and videos from multiple angles — these can be crucial if you need to file a hail damage insurance claim.
Pro tip: Check your vehicles, patio furniture, and fencing too. These details can help establish the severity of the storm.
Step 2: Schedule a Roof Inspection Immediately
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Even if you don’t see missing shingles, your roof could still be compromised. Road Home Exteriors offers free, no-obligation roofing inspections for homeowners across the Denver Metro area. Our team will assess your roof, siding, windows, gutters, and more for hidden damage that could lead to future leaks or costly repairs.
Prompt inspections help you stay ahead of the insurance timeline — and get your claim rolling before deadlines pass.
Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company
Once you have documentation and a professional inspection report, it’s time to contact your homeowner’s insurance provider. File a claim for hail storm damage and share your inspection photos and written assessment. At Road Home Exteriors, we’re experienced in working with insurance adjusters and can help you navigate the claim process from start to finish.
We know how to advocate for homeowners, not just fix roofs.
Step 4: Choose a Trusted, Local Contractor
Storm chasers and out-of-state roofers often flood Colorado after a big storm, offering cheap repairs and vanishing as fast as they appeared. Don’t fall for it. Trust a licensed, insured, and locally owned company with proven experience in hail damage restoration.
Road Home Exteriors is proud to serve communities across Hail Alley — from Thornton to Castle Rock — with integrity and transparency. We offer No-Pressure Sales, a No Change Order Guarantee, and a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on every installation we complete.
Step 5: Act Fast, But Don’t Rush
Hail damage can weaken your roofing system, making your home vulnerable to leaks and future storms. But that doesn’t mean you need to sign a contract the same day the storm hits. Take your time to ask questions, review materials, and find a contractor that values quality over quantity. With us, the price we quote is the price you pay, and your project stays exactly as planned — unless you choose to change it.
