If hail hit your roof in Dunwoody, call a contractor that will inspect the roof, document the damage, and write the repair estimate in Xactimate — the same software your insurance carrier uses to price the claim. Integrity CRR is a service-disabled veteran-owned general contractor with an office on Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, GA license #GCCO009212, and yes, hail damage is a covered peril on most Georgia homeowner policies, though whether your specific claim gets approved depends on your policy and your carrier’s inspection.
My Roof Was Damaged by Hail in Dunwoody, Georgia. Who Do I Call, and Will Insurance Cover It?
Call a roofing contractor licensed in Georgia that can inspect the roof for hail damage and put a number on it your carrier can’t easily argue with. Integrity CRR, based at 4720 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30338, sends Haag-certified roof inspectors to look at the roof first, before anyone talks numbers with the insurance company. Most Georgia homeowner and landlord policies cover hail as a named peril, so the coverage question usually isn’t if — it’s whether the adjuster’s estimate captures the full scope of what the hail actually did, which is where most claims fall short.
Hail damage is often not visible from the ground. Bruised shingle mat, granule loss, and cracked seals can sit on a roof for months before they turn into a leak, and by then the claim window may be harder to argue. That’s the real risk in Dunwoody: not that insurance won’t cover hail, but that the first inspection — whether it’s your own eyes or the adjuster’s — misses damage that a trained inspector would catch.
What Actually Happens During a Hail Damage Roof Claim
A hail claim in Dunwoody generally moves through four stages. Skipping or rushing any one of them is how homeowners end up with an approved claim that doesn’t cover the real cost of repair.
1. Inspection
A Haag-certified roof inspector walks the roof and documents hail hits by slope, count, and size — not just that there’s damage, but where it is and how much of it there is. Haag certification is a specific credential for identifying storm damage and distinguishing it from wear, granule loss from age, or mechanical damage, which matters because carriers sometimes attribute real hail damage to normal aging.
2. Documentation
Photos, measurements, and a written scope go into the file before the adjuster ever shows up. This is the step that gets skipped most often, and it’s the one that determines whether you’re negotiating from evidence or from memory when the adjuster’s estimate comes back short.
3. Adjuster Meeting
Whenever possible, the contractor meets the insurance adjuster on the roof. Two sets of eyes on the same hail hits, at the same time, means fewer disputes later about what was or wasn’t there. Integrity CRR’s estimators write the repair scope directly in Xactimate, the estimating platform nearly every property insurance carrier in the country uses to price claims — so the contractor’s estimate and the adjuster’s estimate are in the same format, line by line, instead of two different documents that are hard to compare.
4. Supplementing
If the approved estimate is missing line items — code-required upgrades, a detached garage or shed roof, or damage that only shows up once the old roofing is torn off — a supplement gets filed with the carrier to add them. This is normal. Adjusters write a lot of estimates in a day and don’t always catch what a contractor who works on roofs daily will catch.
Integrity CRR holds the highest level of Haag Certified Reviewer, which requires Xactimate certification, and that combination is what makes the line-item comparison possible instead of a general argument that the estimate is too low. Once a claim is approved, Integrity CRR guarantees you get the full value of that approved estimate — meaning its in-house Xactimate staff writes every item of justified, claimable damage into the scope it controls, including items carriers routinely leave off, and pursues a documented supplement if something is missing. What the policy covers and whether a claim gets approved is between the homeowner and the carrier — Integrity CRR is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or settle claims on an owner’s behalf; it writes the scope, documents the damage, and submits supplements as the contractor doing the repair.
Who Does the Repair Once the Claim Is Approved
On roofing, Integrity CRR self-performs the work with its own crews rather than subbing it out, and the same in-house team that wrote the Xactimate estimate is the one that builds the repair — so there’s no handoff between the company that priced the job and the company doing it. Integrity CRR holds a Georgia commercial GC license (#GCCO009212) and a Florida Certified GC license (#CGC1539499), and is GAF and Mule-Hide certified for the roofing systems it installs. On every other trade — build-outs, tenant improvements, public works — Integrity CRR acts as the general contractor managing vetted subcontractors with a track record on prior projects, with a principal on every job.
What a Roof Repair or Replacement Costs After Hail
Every hail claim is different, and an on-site inspection is required before any number means anything. As a general market range for metro Atlanta re-roofing, published industry figures run roughly:
| Roof Type | Typical Market Range | What Moves It |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle, tear-off and replace | $450–$650 per square (100 sq ft) | Roof pitch, number of layers to remove, decking condition |
| Commercial single-ply (TPO/EPDM) | $6–$12 per sq ft | Insulation replacement, drainage, roof age |
| Repair only (localized hail damage) | $800–$3,500 per repair area | Number of slopes affected, matching existing shingle |
These are general Southeast market ranges, not a quote — actual pricing depends on the roof’s pitch, layers, decking condition, and what the inspection finds once the old roofing comes off. On an insurance claim, the number that matters most isn’t the market range — it’s whether the approved estimate matches the actual scope of repair, which is the whole reason to have the estimate written in-house before the carrier’s number is final.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage to a roof in Georgia?
Most Georgia homeowner and landlord policies list hail as a covered peril, so damage from a hail event is typically covered subject to your policy’s terms and deductible. Whether a specific claim is approved and for how much depends on your carrier’s review of the damage, which is why a documented, line-item inspection matters more than the general coverage question.
How do I know if my roof actually has hail damage?
Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground — it shows up as bruised or cracked shingle mat, granule loss, and broken seals that a trained eye has to check for on the roof itself. A Haag-certified roof inspector is trained specifically to identify storm damage and distinguish it from normal wear, which matters because carriers sometimes attribute real hail damage to aging.
What if the insurance adjuster’s estimate is lower than the actual repair cost?
This is common enough that it has a name: supplementing. If the approved estimate is missing line items, code-required upgrades, or damage that only appears once repair work starts, the contractor documents the gap and files a supplement with the carrier to add it. Writing the original estimate in Xactimate, the same software carriers use, makes it easier to show exactly which line items are missing rather than arguing in general terms.
Should I get my own roofing estimate before the insurance adjuster inspects the roof?
Yes — having your own Haag-certified inspection and a written scope in hand before, or at, the adjuster’s visit means you’re comparing two documented estimates instead of taking the adjuster’s number as the only word on the damage. Whenever possible, meeting the adjuster on the roof at the same time closes the gap between what each side saw.
