Was my property affected by the March 26 storms?

In Central Indiana, the storm reports came from the counties north of Indianapolis, including Hamilton, Boone, Clinton, Tipton, Madison and Delaware. The Indianapolis area had no reports. If you are in one of those areas and saw hail or wind damage nearby, a free inspection will tell you whether your roof was damaged.

How long do I have to file an insurance claim for storm damage?

It depends on your policy. Most homeowners policies require prompt reporting of damage, so check your policy or ask your agent for the deadline. A free inspection gives you photos of the damage while it is recent.

What size hail causes roof damage?

Hail about 1 inch across (quarter size) and larger is what usually damages asphalt shingles, though older or worn roofs can be damaged by smaller hail, especially with strong wind. Most of the hail reported in Central Indiana on March 26 was smaller than an inch; the largest was 1.5 inches at Veedersburg.

Do I need to pay anything out of pocket?

On an approved claim, you are responsible for your deductible, and the insurance settlement pays for the covered repairs. We document the damage and meet your adjuster on site.

Can I wait to get my roof repaired?

We recommend against waiting. Damaged shingles and flashing let water in, and small leaks get worse over time. A free inspection now tells you what needs attention.

Hidden Damage

Why You Need a Professional Inspection

Hail and wind damage is easy to miss from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles and knock granules loose, and wind can lift or crease shingles that then look normal from the driveway. Siding impacts and bent gutters are easy to overlook too. Our reps check the roof, siding, gutters and windows, and photograph everything they find.

What Our Customers Say

Tonya T.

“I recently moved into my Franklin home and have contracted several companies for home improvements. Due to the tornadoes in the area in late March, I had roof damage and needed quick assessment to avoid more interior damage. I called Grady Phillips at SPG as they did the roof replacement on my previous home. By that afternoon, my roof was tarped to prevent more damage. Grady and the team worked with my insurance company to get me coverage for a complete roof replacement. They completed the project within a few weeks. Jordan, the on-site manager, answered all my questions and kept me fully informed. The construction team was respectful and quick. I am very happy with the whole process and my new roof. They have been the best home repair company that I have worked with this year.”

Tonya M.

“We had hail damage to our home and detached garage and SPG were prompt with providing an estimate, very friendly and helpful with our questions, and provided exceptional service. They worked with our insurance company (not an easy task) and were in constant communication with us. Their roofing and siding crews worked very hard and cleaned up after the job was complete. I would strongly recommend you contact SPG for your next job. Dustin and AJ will take great care of you and your home through the entire process!”

Anne G.

“We had a very stressful siding situation, and this team made the entire process manageable from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and flexible throughout. They even met with the insurance adjuster and helped make that transition smooth. Communication was clear, expectations were set well, and the work was handled efficiently. I would absolutely recommend them!”
