The most valuable thing a contractor can tell you about hail damage is that you do not have any. A denied claim still sits on your record, and filing on a roof with cosmetic marks rather than functional damage costs you time and gains you nothing. We inspect, photograph and tell you which one you have before you pick up the phone.
What this means in Falcon specifically
Hail exposure here
Open plains east of the Springs with no terrain to break storms. Falcon and Meridian Ranch take direct hail with regularity, and because the housing stock went up largely in one wave through the 2000s and 2010s, whole neighborhoods reach hail-damaged condition at the same time. Insurance claim activity here is heavy and adjusters know the area well.
What the roofs are like here
Builder-grade architectural asphalt across large 2000s and 2010s subdivisions, mostly simple gable and hip forms on generous footprints. Simple geometry keeps replacement cost per square reasonable, but the uniform build age means the whole area is entering replacement together.
Wind exposure
The most wind-exposed part of our service area. No windbreak in any direction, and sustained wind is the dominant force on these roofs. Shingle uplift at rakes and ridges is routine, and roofs here age visibly faster on the windward side.
Falcon sits at approximately 6,900 feet.

How we do it
- 1
Inspect the way an adjuster will
Ten-by-ten test squares on each slope, impacts counted and photographed. This is the same method the carrier uses, so what we find is what they will find.
- 2
Check the soft metals
Gutters, vents, flashing and downspouts dent before shingles bruise. They are often the clearest evidence a storm was severe enough to matter.
- 3
Give you a straight answer
Functional damage means granule loss exposing the mat, bruising that fractures the mat, or punctures. Cosmetic marks are not a claim. We will tell you which you have.
- 4
Hand over the documentation
Photos and findings are yours regardless of what you do next. If you file, you file with evidence rather than an opinion.
What it costs
Free. If there is a claim, most of the cost is your deductible; if there is not, we will tell you so and there is no charge either way.
We quote Falcon properties before starting, and the number you hear is the number you pay. If something on site changes the scope, you hear about it before we do the work rather than on the invoice.

Hail Damage questions from Falcon
Will filing a hail claim raise my rates?
In Colorado, weather claims are treated differently from at-fault claims, and rates are set largely by ZIP code loss history rather than by your individual claim. Your neighborhood filing claims affects your premium more than you filing one does. Confirm specifics with your agent — but the fear of a single weather claim wrecking your rate is generally overstated.
How long do I have to file after a storm?
Colorado policies commonly require notice within one year of the date of loss, and some are shorter. The damage does not disappear, but the right to claim it does. If you know the storm date, check your policy language now rather than later.
What is the difference between functional and cosmetic damage?
Functional damage shortens the life of the roof: granules knocked off exposing the asphalt mat, bruising you can feel that has fractured the mat, punctures. Cosmetic damage is visible but does not affect performance. Some policies now exclude cosmetic damage entirely, which is worth knowing before you file.
Do I have to use you if you inspect it?
No. The inspection and the photos are free and yours to keep. If you decide there is no claim, or you use another contractor, that is fine — an inspection that only produces a sales pitch is not an inspection.
