HAIL DAMAGE, Insurance Claims, for a Paint Job??

Most roofers out there stick to roof, gutters, and maybe siding replacement. How many companies out there can also do paint, windows, re-staining--the whole shebang? The benefit to you, as a homeowner, is huge. The entire process of making an insurance claim and renovating and repairing the house is dramatically easier when you're just dealing with one good company.

As we move into the Fall (the SECOND Paint Season), we're performing many free paint estimates for customers across the Front Range. But while you might be looking into hurrying to get the house painted before Winter rolls around, don't forget about the hail.

So far in 2015, we haven't had our almost-yearly doozy of a hail storm. Not yet. We might not at all. But we have had sporadic, spotty hail here and there across Colorado Springs, and we have found hail damage on peoples' homes and assisted in successful claims in Rockrimmon, Briargate, Peyton, and other areas, even if we just came out for an initial paint estimate.

If your home suffered hail, it might have pelted the paint as well, and your insurance company just might pay for part, or even all, of your paint job. Here's a review of a typical story where a paint job grew into a hail claim from a satisfied customer:

"Wanted to get my house painted to put on the market next year and called FRE based on reviews on Angie's List. Worked with Jim at FRE and was quoted about $4400 for paint/trim out the door and he suggested we also do a roof inspection as he saw some minor hail damage that we might be able to get our insurer (USAA) to cover the cost of not only the roof, but also get some of the paint done on 2 sides of the house. I did get 2 other quotes from other A rated companies but NO ONE could do both the roof and the paint under the same USAA claim.

USAA came out and Jim was right! Put in a claim for the roof and they were also covering 2 sides of the house paint/trim. So, out of pocket only had to pay my deductible (2,900) to cover the rest. Jim was great to work with and we went with the Class 4 roof from Atlas and Sherwin-Williams Superpaint.

The roof was done in one day and only had minor "shingle dust" around the house. Nothing too bad. Looked great and when we had that hail storm back in mid-July the hail/rain was just shooting off the new gutter lip they installed. Great job.
Because of the rain we've had lately there was about a 3 week gap before the painters got started, but last week we had a stretch of sunny days and they came out one morning, power washed and got screens off, and added 3M window tape and coverings, then next day did the paint and trim. It came out fantastic.

Then this weekend one of the FRE owners came out to check on the house and make sure everything went great. Awesome service and awesome job, would use these guys again in a heartbeat."

So by all means, please call us for a free paint estimate. 'Tis the season. But if your home is in one of those areas on the north half of town that have taken hail here and there over the last few months, you might want to ask the estimator to take a look around for damage. Your paint job may cost a lot less than you thought.
