SIGNS YOUR ROOF HAS STORM DAMAGE
Most signs of storm damage are visible from the roof, but here are some signs you can see without a ladder.
Granule Loss
Loose granules in the driveway, gutters, or downspouts are often caused by hail impacts.
Neighbors Getting Roof Replacements
When multiple houses in your neighborhood get their roofs replaced, it's possible that insurance carriers are covering insurable damage in your area.
Out of Town Roofing Companies
After a hailstorm, out-of-town roofing companies often canvas in hail-affected neighborhoods.
Dents in Soft Metals
Hailstorms often produce dents in soft metals like downspouts, gutters, and garage doors.

Not Sure If Your Roof Was Damaged?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail-damaged roofs often look fine from the ground, but here are four warning signs to look for without mounting your roof:
- Granules collecting in gutters or beneath downspouts.
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, or garage doors.
- Neighbors receiving roof replacements after a storm.
- Roofing companies canvassing your neighborhood after a storm.
These signs do not guarantee a successful insurance claim, but they justify a closer look. The most reliable way to know is a professional roof inspection with photo documentation.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim on my roof?
Many homeowners’ policies allow one year from the date of loss, while some allow two years or more — claim deadlines vary by carrier and policy.
The best way to know for sure is to contact your insurance carrier or agent and ask about your policy. If your roof was affected by a recent storm, it is smart to act sooner rather than later.
Can roofing contractors waive my insurance deductible?
No, waiving the insurance deductible constitutes insurance fraud.
If a contractor promises to “cover your deductible,” ask questions and review the agreement carefully. Reputable contractors focus on quality workmanship, clear pricing, and helping you understand the claims process, not commit insurance fraud.
We explain how contractors try to commit insurance fraud in our article Is it Legal for Roofing Companies to Waive Insurance Deductibles?
From inspection to construction, how long does it take to complete a roof?
Most roofing projects take between three weeks and four months, depending on weather, material availability, and seasonal demand.
When the weather is calm and temperatures are 40 degrees and rising, we install between 20-25 roofs per week. After a hailstorm, schedules often extend because many homeowners need help at the same time.
We keep customers informed throughout the process so expectations are clear from the beginning. To learn what happens behind the scenes after a roofing contract is signed, see our article What Happens After You Sign a Roofing Contract? A Behind-the-Scenes Guide.
Why should I trust Rhoden Roofing with my insurance claim?
Rhoden Roofing has an in-house insurance claims team that helps you navigate the claims process. Our goal with every project is to eliminate confusion, protect your interests and property, and build a roof that lasts a lifetime.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement in Kansas?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event such as hail, homeowner’s insurance may cover part or all of a roof replacement, depending on your policy terms.
Coverage depends on the cause of damage, the age and condition of your roof, your policy, and whether insurable damage can be verified on your roof.
The first step is a professional roof inspection with photo documentation so you can decide whether filing a claim makes sense.
How do I lower my insurance premiums?
Insurance premiums are based on risk. Home improvements that reduce risk, like maintaining the home well, installing impact-resistant shingles, or simply installing a new roof may lower your insurance premiums.
When replacing a roof, Kansas homeowners often ask about discounts for a new roof or Class 3 or Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which some carriers offer significant discounts for.
Because every carrier assigns risk differently, the best way to know what will save you money is to ask your insurance agent directly.
