Hit by any 2026 storm? Here's what to do this week.
Document now
Date-stamped phone photos of dented gutters, downspouts, screens, AC fins. Ground-level photos timestamp the storm for your claim.
Don't sign anything yet
Out-of-state storm-chasers flood Colorado every season. No AOB, no 'inspection authorization' with anyone you haven't vetted.
Get a roof-level inspection
Hail damage is rarely visible from the ground. A 30-minute roof-level inspection gives a clear answer — for free.
File with documentation in hand
Don't file blind. We meet your adjuster on the roof and make sure every covered item ends up on the scope.
Replace with a Colorado-local crew
Storm-chasers disappear in October. We've been Colorado-based since 2018 and honor the workmanship warranty.
Free 2026-storm roof inspection
Tell us your address and which storm(s) hit your area. We'll pull the NWS / HailTrace data for your exact location and schedule a free roof-level inspection — usually within 48 hours.
2026 hail season FAQ
How many hail storms have hit Colorado Springs in 2026?
We've documented and verified multiple significant hail events across El Paso, Douglas, and Elbert counties in 2026, ranging from quarter-sized (1.0") to hen-egg (2.0") hail. Each storm is logged with NWS confirmation, ZIP-coded damage areas, and links to a full per-storm damage report.
My home was hit by an earlier storm this year — is it too late to file?
Most Colorado carriers allow up to one year from the date of loss to file a hail claim, but the practical window is much shorter. Adjusters scrutinize claims filed more than 60–90 days after a storm. If you were hit in April or May and haven't filed, document now and call us this week — we can still build a clean claim if the damage is fresh enough to date.
Can I file one claim for multiple storms this year?
Usually no — each storm is a separate date of loss with its own deductible. But if your roof was bruised in May and finished off in June, the second storm's claim covers the replacement and the first storm's documentation strengthens the case. We document by storm date so nothing gets double-counted or missed.
Will filing a hail claim raise my premiums?
In Colorado, hail is a non-rate-impacting weather claim for most carriers — a single hail claim usually does not raise your individual premium. Statewide rate increases happen regardless of whether you file.
My roof looks fine from the ground. Could it still be damaged?
Yes — and this is the most common mistake we see. Hail bruises the asphalt mat beneath the granules. From the ground it looks fine; from the roof you can count hundreds of soft spots that will fail within 1–3 years. Always get a roof-level inspection after any 1"+ event.
