Hail Damage Specialists
Professional Hail Damage Documentation
Hail damage is different from normal roof wear. The impact patterns, granule loss, and underlying mat damage require specific training to identify and document correctly for insurance purposes.
Royalty inspectors know exactly what insurance adjusters look for. We document impact marks, measure granule loss, photograph soft spots, and prepare reports that support legitimate claims. If there is no damage, we tell you that too.
After a hail event in Omaha, roof damage is almost never visible from the ground. A professional inspection within 30 days of a significant storm gives you time to document damage accurately and file a claim before Nebraska's one-year filing window closes. Royalty inspects at no charge.
Inspection Details
What the Inspection Looks For
A thorough assessment of every area where hail can cause damage.
Metal Flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights shows hail damage as dents, creases, or punctures. Damaged flashing leads to leaks at penetration points.
Gutters and Gutter Guards
Aluminum gutters dent easily from hail impact. Look for pockmarks along the face, bent edges, and damage to gutter guards or screens.
Drip Edge
The metal strip along your roof's edge takes direct hail impact. Dents and bends here indicate the force your shingles absorbed.
AC Condenser Fins
The aluminum fins on your outdoor AC unit are a reliable hail gauge. Bent or flattened fins from the storm direction indicate significant hail.
Window Capping and Screens
Aluminum window trim and screens show hail damage as dents, tears, or bent frames. These soft metals damage at the same hail size that damages shingles.
Why Hail Damage Gets Missed
Homeowners don't get on the roof
Most people never climb onto their roof. Without a close-up view, hail damage—especially granule loss and bruising—is impossible to detect.
General inspectors lack training
Home inspectors check for obvious issues but aren't trained to identify the specific patterns of hail damage that insurance adjusters look for.
Some adjusters do drive-by assessments
Not all insurance assessments include a roof-top inspection. A quick ground-level look can miss damage that's only visible up close.
⚠Nebraska's One-Year Filing Window
Most Nebraska homeowners insurance policies require you to file a claim within one year of the storm date. After that window closes, your insurer can deny the claim—even if the damage is severe. Don't wait until it's too late to document what happened.
High-Impact Neighborhoods for Hail
These Omaha metro areas frequently experience significant hail events. If you live in one of these neighborhoods, a post-storm inspection is especially important.
How to Find Storm History
Need to verify when hail hit your area? The National Weather Service Omaha office and the NOAA Storm Events Database both track hail reports by date, location, and hail size. Search by your zip code or date range to confirm storm activity. We can also help you verify storm history during your inspection.
