If hail damaged your roof in Kennesaw, call a contractor who can inspect the roof, document the damage in photos and measurements, and write the repair scope in Xactimate before you meet your adjuster. Most Georgia homeowners policies cover hail as a named peril, but whether your specific claim gets approved and at what value depends on your policy, your deductible, and how well the damage is documented.
Who Do I Call for a Hail Damage Roof Insurance Claim in Kennesaw, GA?
Integrity CRR is a service-disabled veteran-owned commercial general contractor based in Atlanta that self-performs roofing work, including hail damage inspections and insurance claim documentation in Kennesaw and the rest of metro Atlanta. Integrity CRR holds Georgia GC license #GCCO009212 and Florida CGC1539499, and its roof inspectors are Haag-certified, the industry credential for identifying storm damage versus wear and age. The company is also GAF and Mule-Hide certified for the roofing systems it installs.
What sets the inspection apart is Xactimate. Integrity CRR holds the highest level of Haag Certified Reviewer, a credential that requires Xactimate certification, and Xactimate is the same estimating software nearly every property insurance carrier uses to price claims. That means the scope Integrity writes is in the carrier’s own line-item format, so it can be laid directly next to the adjuster’s estimate to show which items are missing or underpriced, instead of arguing in general terms with a different-format estimate, which is what most contractors submit.
Will Insurance Cover Hail Damage in Kennesaw?
Hail is a covered peril on most standard Georgia homeowners and dwelling policies, but coverage always comes down to your specific policy, so read yours or call your agent before assuming. A few things that commonly affect the outcome:
- Roof age and condition. Some carriers pay actual cash value (depreciated) instead of full replacement cost on older roofs, or exclude roofs past a certain age from wind/hail coverage entirely.
- Deductible type. Many Georgia policies carry a separate percentage-based wind/hail deductible instead of a flat dollar amount, which can run higher than you expect.
- Documentation quality. Adjusters price what they can see and measure. A thin inspection report gets a thin estimate.
- Timing. Insurers typically require a claim to be filed within a set window after the storm date, so don’t wait months to have the roof inspected.
What Integrity CRR does not do is negotiate or represent your claim to the insurance company. Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12(e)), a roofing contractor can’t offer to represent or negotiate a homeowner’s claim — that’s licensed public-adjuster work, and Integrity CRR is not a public adjuster. What the company does is inspect the roof, document the damage, write the repair scope, and submit supplements as the contractor of record.
The Claim Process, Step by Step
- Inspection. A Haag-certified inspector walks the roof and documents hail hits, bruised shingles, granule loss, and any related damage to gutters, vents, or flashing.
- Scoping. The damage is written into Xactimate as a line-item estimate, the same format your carrier’s adjuster uses.
- Adjuster meeting. Integrity CRR meets the insurance adjuster at the property so both estimates are compared on the roof, not over email.
- Comparison and supplement. If the adjuster’s estimate is missing line items — code-required upgrades, a detached structure, or damage that only shows up once the roof is opened — Integrity CRR documents the gap and submits a supplement request to the carrier.
- Repair. Once the claim is approved, Integrity CRR’s own crews perform the roofing work, so the same company that wrote the estimate builds the repair.
The Guarantee
Once your claim is approved, Integrity CRR guarantees you get the full value of it. That’s a guarantee about the completeness of the scope Integrity CRR writes, not about the carrier’s decision — the in-house Xactimate staff writes every item of justified, claimable damage into the scope, including code-required upgrades, detached structures, and labor or materials that only surface once the roof is opened. What the policy covers is between you and your carrier; if the approved estimate comes in short, Integrity CRR documents the gap and pursues the supplement.
What a Roof Replacement Costs in Metro Atlanta
If a claim is denied, or your deductible covers most of the job, it helps to know the general market. These are widely published metro Atlanta ranges, not an Integrity CRR quote — an on-roof estimate is required for an actual number:
| Roofing system | General market range |
|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $450–$650 per square (100 sq ft) |
| Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingle | $550–$800 per square |
| Commercial single-ply (TPO/EPDM) | $6–$12 per square foot |
Steep pitches, multiple layers to tear off, extensive decking replacement, and detached structures like a garage or shed push a project toward the top of the range. A simple, low-pitch, single-layer roof with sound decking lands toward the bottom.
Signs You Have Hail Damage
- Circular bruises or dents on asphalt shingles, often soft to the touch
- Granule loss showing bare, shiny spots on shingles
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, roof vents, or a/c condenser fins
- Cracked or chipped ridge caps
- Damage to window screens or siding on the same side of the house as the roof damage
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground. If a storm hit Kennesaw and you’re not sure whether your roof took damage, an inspection is the only way to know.
Integrity CRR also handles broader storm restoration work across metro Atlanta, including Kennesaw and nearby communities like Marietta, Acworth, and Woodstock. Read more about the company’s licensing and background or see current projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage to a roof in Georgia?
Most standard Georgia homeowners policies cover hail as a named peril, but coverage depends on your specific policy, your roof’s age and condition, and your deductible type. Some carriers pay depreciated value instead of full replacement cost on older roofs. Read your policy or call your agent to confirm before assuming coverage.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Look for circular bruises or soft spots on shingles, granule loss showing bare patches, and dents on gutters, vents, or downspouts. Hail damage is often hard to see from the ground, so a roof inspection is the only reliable way to confirm it. Integrity CRR’s Haag-certified inspectors document this damage as part of the claim process.
What is a claim supplement and when do I need one?
A supplement is an additional estimate submitted to your insurance carrier after the initial adjuster estimate, when documented damage or required work was missed or underpriced. This commonly happens with code-required upgrades, detached structures, or damage that only shows up once the roof is opened. Integrity CRR’s in-house Xactimate staff documents these gaps and submits supplements as the contractor of record.
Can a roofing contractor negotiate my insurance claim for me in Georgia?
No. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12(e)) bars a residential roofing contractor from offering to represent or negotiate a homeowner’s insurance claim, since that is licensed public-adjuster work. Integrity CRR is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate claims; the company inspects the roof, documents the damage, writes the repair scope, and submits supplements as the contractor.
