Homeowner guides

  • Preparing Your Home for Hail Season

    A practical pre-season checklist: document your roof before storms hit, know your deductible, trim what can fall, and make the ten-minute plan that saves cars and skylights.

  • What the Different Alerts Mean

    Severe thunderstorm watch, warning, and a SkyVision property alert are three different things. What each one means, and what hail sizes actually do to a home.

  • The First 48 Hours After Hail

    A calm, step-by-step plan for the two days after hail: check for hazards, document everything, prevent further damage, and decide about a claim on your timeline — not a stranger’s.

  • How to Document Hail Damage

    The exact photos to take, the notes to keep, and how to inspect your own property safely from the ground — evidence that holds up months later in a claim.

  • Common Signs of Roof Hail Damage

    What hail damage actually looks like on shingles, metal, and around the house — why real damage is often invisible from the ground, and how to read the clues you can see.

  • How to Verify a Contractor

    A verification checklist that takes an evening: license, insurance certificates, local footprint, manufacturer credentials, references — and the questions every legitimate contractor answers easily.
