FAQ
What photos and evidence should I collect after a hail storm in Oklahoma?
Start by photographing your roof, gutters, downspouts, siding, and any outdoor equipment from multiple angles in good daylight. Capture close-ups of individual dents and bruising on shingles, and use a ruler or coin next to impacts to show scale. Also document the date of the storm using a weather report or NOAA hail map printout, and photograph any interior water damage that resulted. Store all images with timestamps and back them up to cloud storage before filing your claim.
How long do I have to file a hail damage insurance claim in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma law generally allows one year from the date of loss to file a hail damage claim under most homeowner policies, but individual policy language can set shorter deadlines. Notify your insurer as soon as possible after the storm, because delays can be used to question whether damage is storm-related or the result of deferred maintenance. Once you report the claim, request a written confirmation and ask when the adjuster will schedule an inspection so you can have a licensed Oklahoma roofing contractor present during the assessment.
