FAQ
How soon after a hailstorm should I file a claim in Georgia?
You should file as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 to 72 hours of the storm. Georgia insurance policies typically require 'prompt' notice of a loss, and many carriers impose deadlines ranging from 30 to 365 days. Delaying can give insurers grounds to dispute whether the damage was caused by the reported storm, so document everything with time-stamped photos and contact your carrier right away.
What evidence do I need to support a hail damage claim in Georgia?
Gather time-stamped photos of all damaged areas — roof, gutters, siding, skylights, and HVAC units — along with a local storm report from the National Weather Service confirming hail size and location. Keep records of any emergency repairs you made to prevent further damage, save all receipts, and request a written inspection report from a licensed Georgia roofing contractor. This documentation strengthens your claim and gives you a baseline if you need to dispute a low adjuster estimate.
