Any time there is a bad storm in the area your house runs the risk of being damaged. Sometime the storm damage is noticeable. You’ll see broken windows, dimpled facia, missing shingles, fallen gutters, and siding that blew off. Other times its not visible (roof damage) and your house can incur massive damage over time if it is not addressed and fixed properly.
, if there is damage, your insurance company will assign an adjuster to come out to your home and report any damages and assign a dollar amount to repair them. The problem is most of insurance adjusters are in a hurry. Most storms affect a large area and adjusters generally have a large number of homes to see and that can lead them to overlook the fine details.
