Hail Damage Roof Replacement Insurance Claims in Queens
Hail damage roof replacement insurance claims are handled end to end by Foundry Roofing. We inspect and photograph the damage for your home or building policy, walk the roof with your adjuster, and replace the roof once the claim is approved.
We cover multi-family, co-op, condo, mixed-use and commercial buildings, plus one and two-family homes, across Queens.

What we document for your adjuster
Adjusters approve what the evidence shows, nothing more. How hail breaks down each roof type is covered separately.

|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | Bruised shingles, granule loss | Bruise counts per 10 by 10 foot test square |
| TPO and EPDM membrane | Cracked membrane, punctured TPO | Close-ups of each puncture and crack |
| Metal flashing and vents | Dented flashing and vent caps | Measured dent sizes |
| Gutters and roof edge | Dented gutters, hidden leaks at the edge | Dent sizes and storm-date reference |

Totaled by hail or repairable: what the claim turns on
The adjuster's call
On hail damage roof replacement insurance claims, adjusters write a total loss when damage spreads across several slopes or the full membrane field, when the material can no longer be matched, or when impacts reached the deck. Scattered hits on one slope get a repair scope. Past that point, we take on replacing a roof damaged beyond repair.
Building policies
Co-ops, condos and apartment buildings claim under the building policy. The board or managing agent files and carries the deductible. We supply the documentation and meet the adjuster.
Hail claim questions
Is there a deadline after the storm date to file?
Yes. Your policy sets it, and it usually requires prompt notice. Our report is dated to the storm.
Does the deductible change what the replacement costs me?
Your cost is the deductible. The carrier pays the approved scope minus that amount.
What if the adjuster scopes a repair, not a replacement?
We file a supplement with more photos and measurements and request a re-inspection.
Is the new roof covered by a warranty after an insurance job?
Yes. The manufacturer warranty is registered to your building, as on any replacement we install.
