Hail Damage Insurance Claims in Florida

Hail isn't as common in Florida as in other parts of the country, but when it occurs, often in association with severe thunderstorms or tropical systems, it produces significant roof, siding, and screen enclosure damage. Cosmetic damage exclusions (particularly on metal roofing) complicate some claims.

What we handle

  • Roof hail damage (shingle, tile, metal)
  • Siding and exterior finish damage
  • Screen enclosure damage
  • Vehicle hail damage
  • Window and skylight damage

Key disputes

  1. Cosmetic damage exclusion. Increasingly common on metal roofs. Counter with functional impact evidence.
  2. Hail vs. wear-and-tear. Older roofs sometimes show patterns that carriers attribute to normal aging.
  3. Scope limited to visible dents. Hail impact can affect underlayment and structural integrity beyond visible dents.
  4. Matching. Hail-damaged sections often can't be spot-matched: continuous-area replacement supported by Fla. Stat. 626.9744.

Documentation that supports

  • Weather data confirming hail event (NWS storm reports, storm tracking)
  • Neighborhood damage patterns
  • Roof professional's field report
  • Close-up photography showing impact patterns
  • Independent hail-damage assessment
