If hail damaged your roof in Marietta, GA, call a roofing contractor for a free inspection before you file with your insurance company — you need documented proof of the damage on record before an adjuster ever shows up. Most Georgia homeowner and commercial property policies cover hail as a named peril, but what the carrier actually pays depends on how well the damage is documented and priced. Integrity CRR, a service-disabled veteran-owned general contractor based in Atlanta, GA, sends Haag-certified roof inspectors to Marietta and writes every hail claim estimate in-house using Xactimate, the same estimating software nearly every property insurance carrier uses to price the loss.
My Roof Was Hail Damaged in Marietta, Georgia — Who Do I Call, and Will Insurance Cover It?
Call a licensed roofing contractor first, not your insurance company. A contractor with Haag-certified inspectors can document hail bruising, granule loss, and soft-metal damage on gutters, vents, and flashing that’s easy to miss from the ground and easy for an adjuster to underscope if there’s no independent record of it. Yes, hail is a covered peril on standard Georgia homeowner (HO-3) and commercial property policies, but coverage isn’t automatic. The carrier still has to agree the damage is storm-related and not pre-existing wear, and your policy’s wind/hail deductible — often a percentage of dwelling value rather than a flat dollar figure on Georgia policies — determines what you pay out of pocket before coverage kicks in.
Why the Estimate Software Matters More Than the Sales Pitch
Integrity CRR holds the highest level of Haag Certified Reviewer, which requires Xactimate certification, so the same reviewer who inspects your roof also writes the repair scope in the carrier’s own pricing software, line by line. Most contractors write their estimate in a different format and then argue with the adjuster in general terms about what got missed. Integrity CRR instead lays its Xactimate scope directly beside the adjuster’s Xactimate estimate and shows, item by item, which line items — code-required upgrades, detached structures, flashing, decking, ventilation — are missing or underpriced. Integrity CRR also holds Georgia GC license #GCCO009212 and Florida Certified GC license #CGC1539499, so the same company that writes the claim scope is licensed to build the repair, instead of handing the job to a separate estimator or installer. Roofing is one of the few trades Integrity CRR self-performs, running its own crews rather than farming the work to a sub — see the roofing services page for how that crew is credentialed (GAF certified, Mule-Hide certified).
What the Claim Process Looks Like, Step by Step
- Inspection. A Haag-certified inspector walks the roof, photographs hail hits, and checks soft metals (gutters, flashing, HVAC housings) where hail damage shows up before shingles do.
- Documentation. Photos, measurements, and a written damage report go together before anything is filed, so the claim starts with evidence instead of a phone call.
- Filing. You file the claim with your carrier. The carrier assigns an adjuster and schedules a roof inspection.
- Adjuster meeting. Integrity CRR meets the adjuster on the roof so the scope gets built from the same set of facts, not a phone summary.
- Supplementing. If the approved estimate is short — a missed code upgrade, a detached structure, damage that only shows once the roof is opened — Integrity CRR documents the gap and submits a supplement to the carrier.
- Repair. Once the scope is settled, Integrity CRR’s self-performed roofing crew does the work covered under storm restoration.
What Roof Repair and Replacement Cost in Metro Atlanta (General Market Ranges)
These are general Southeast market ranges, not an Integrity CRR quote — every roof needs an on-site estimate, and hail claims specifically depend on what the carrier approves.
| Work Type | Typical Metro Atlanta Range | What Moves It |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle repair (localized) | $500 – $3,000 | Number of hail-hit areas, accessibility, matching existing shingle color/line |
| Full asphalt shingle replacement | $450 – $900 per square (100 sq ft) | Roof pitch, layers to tear off, decking condition, code-required upgrades |
| Commercial single-ply (TPO/EPDM) replacement | $6 – $12 per sq ft | Insulation condition, number of roof penetrations, drainage work |
| Gutter, flashing, and vent replacement | $300 – $1,500 per section | Metal gauge, length, number of soft-metal components damaged |
A hail claim estimate written in Xactimate should reflect these same cost categories line by line — that’s what makes it comparable to the adjuster’s own estimate instead of an apples-to-oranges bid.
The Guarantee
Once your claim is approved, Integrity CRR guarantees you get the full value of it. The in-house Xactimate staff writes every item of justified, claimable damage into the scope it controls, including the items carriers routinely miss or leave off — code-required upgrades, detached structures, and labor or materials that only surface once the roof is opened. If the approved estimate is short on scope Integrity CRR wrote, the company documents the gap and pursues the supplement. What your policy covers, and whether a claim gets approved at all, is a decision between you and your carrier — Integrity CRR is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or settle claims on your behalf. It writes the scope, documents the damage, and submits supplements as the contractor of record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Georgia?
Yes, hail is a covered peril on standard Georgia homeowner (HO-3) and commercial property policies. Coverage still depends on the carrier agreeing the damage is storm-related, and most Georgia policies carry a separate wind/hail deductible, often a percentage of the dwelling’s insured value rather than a flat dollar amount.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage on asphalt shingles shows up as bruising, granule loss, and exposed matting, and it’s often more visible on soft metals like gutters, vents, and flashing than on the shingles themselves. A ground-level look usually misses it, which is why a roof inspection by a Haag-certified inspector is the reliable way to confirm it.
What if the insurance adjuster’s estimate seems too low?
If the approved estimate leaves out damage or underprices line items, you or your contractor can submit a supplement with documentation to support the additional scope. Integrity CRR writes its own estimate in Xactimate, the same software the carrier uses, so it can compare its scope to the adjuster’s line by line and document exactly what’s missing.
Does Integrity CRR handle the insurance claim for me?
Integrity CRR is not a public adjuster and doesn’t negotiate or settle the claim on your behalf. It inspects the roof, documents the damage, writes the repair scope in Xactimate, meets the adjuster on-site, and submits supplements as the contractor — the coverage decision itself is between you and your insurance carrier.
