Hannah Restoration, a Middle Tennessee disaster cleanup and restoration company, has released comprehensive guidance for homeowners on recognizing hail damage and determining when roof replacement becomes necessary following severe weather events that have impacted the region.
The family-owned restoration company, which has served Middle Tennessee communities since 2013, emphasizes that hail damage often goes unnoticed by property owners, potentially leading to significant structural problems and costly repairs if left unaddressed. The company's recent educational initiative focuses on helping Tennessee residents identify warning signs that indicate the need for professional roof inspection and possible replacement.
"Many homeowners don't realize that even moderate hail can compromise the integrity of their roofing system," said Justin Hampton, owner of Hannah Restoration. "What appears to be minor cosmetic damage can actually create pathways for water infiltration, leading to mold growth, structural deterioration, and eventually requiring complete roof replacement if not addressed promptly."
The company's guidance addresses several critical indicators of hail damage, including granule loss on shingles, exposed mat material, dented or cracked shingles, damaged flashing and gutters, and compromised roof vents. These signs often develop after hailstorms that produce hail as small as one inch in diameter, particularly on roofs that are already 20 to 30 years old or have existing vulnerabilities from poor installation or inadequate ventilation.
Hannah Restoration reports that Tennessee experiences an average of 20 to 30 severe thunderstorm days annually, many producing damaging hail. The company notes that insurance claims for hail damage in the state have increased significantly over the past decade, with many property owners unaware of damage until water intrusion or other secondary problems become apparent.
The restoration company's approach includes comprehensive roof inspections at no charge, documentation assistance for insurance claims, and coordination with insurance adjusters to ensure proper coverage for necessary repairs or replacement. The company's certified technicians assess not only visible damage but also underlying structural issues that may compromise the roof's ability to protect the property.
"The key is acting quickly after a hail event," Hampton explained. "Insurance companies typically have time limits for filing claims, and delaying inspection can result in damage progression that may not be covered. We help property owners navigate this process while ensuring their homes remain protected."
Beyond roofing services, Hannah Restoration provides comprehensive disaster recovery services including water damage restoration, mold remediation, fire damage restoration, reconstruction services, and specialized cleanup for crime scenes, lead paint, and asbestos removal. The company maintains 24/7 emergency response capabilities and serves numerous communities throughout Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, and surrounding areas.
With over 30 years of combined experience in the restoration industry, the company has established itself as a trusted resource for property owners facing damage from natural disasters and other emergencies. The company maintains all necessary certifications and licenses required for restoration work in Tennessee and has earned a 4.6 rating based on more than 70 customer reviews.
