Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first after a hailstorm?
The honest answer: call Faraday first . Most homeowners assume the first step after hail damage is calling their insurance carrier — but doing that before understanding the true scope of damage can cost you thousands. If an adjuster inspects your property without accurate documentation, they may miss key issues and close the claim prematurely. Once that happens, it becomes much harder to reopen and get full coverage. Faraday flips the script. We start with a free, comprehens
Why choose Faraday over anyone else?
Because no one in Colorado does what Faraday does — period. We’re not just a roofing company. We’re a full-service restoration and remodeling firm with expertise across roofing, solar, windows, interiors, and insurance claim management. That means one call gets you everything — inspection, paperwork, approvals, build, cleanup — done to perfection. We treat your home like our own and handle your claim as if it were our family’s. Every project gets hands-on attention from our
Can I get my solar and even windows covered if they were damaged?
Yes — and this is where Faraday truly shines . Most contractors stop at the roof, but Faraday is one of the only local companies that’s fully licensed and equipped to handle roofing, solar, and window replacements all under one roof. If your windows or solar setup were impacted by hail, our team documents and includes those damages in your insurance claim from the start. Many adjusters miss these details, but we make sure your claim reflects every affected surface. Even if
What about my deductible?
Your deductible is the only portion of the insurance claim you’re legally required to pay — and Faraday keeps that process fully transparent from start to finish. Unlike shady contractors who try to “cover” deductibles (a serious violation of Colorado law), we operate 100% above board, ensuring your claim stays compliant and protected. What sets us apart is how we help you maximize the value of your claim so that your deductible actually stretches further. By submitting sup
How Do I trust my contractor won't disappear?
That’s a valid concern — especially in Colorado, where out-of-state “storm chasers” roll through after every hailstorm, knock on doors, and vanish the moment the job’s done. Faraday is different. We’re Colorado-born, Boulder-based , and deeply rooted in the communities we serve. Our name, our work, and our people stand behind every roof, window, and solar install we complete. When you choose Faraday , you’re not hiring a temporary crew — you’re partnering with a local compan
Who deals with my insurance company?
Short answer: Faraday does — entirely. From the moment you sign on, we take full ownership of the back-and-forth communication with your carrier. Our claims team has worked with every major insurance company in Colorado, and we know exactly how to navigate the process to get your project approved quickly and fully. We handle all the paperwork, supplement requests, photos, and documentation. We meet your adjuster on-site, advocate for every detail, and make sure your claim cov
Can I upgrade materials during the claim?
Absolutely — and Faraday is built to make that easy. When your insurance covers the replacement cost of your roof, windows, or exterior, it sets the stage for upgrades that can dramatically increase your home’s value, efficiency, and curb appeal. Most homeowners don’t realize they can pay the difference between standard materials and premium upgrades — and Faraday makes that process seamless. Imagine turning your storm damage into an opportunity to improve . Instead of simp
What's the timeline from claim to completion?
The insurance claim process can feel like an endless waiting game — but when you partner with Faraday , that changes completely. From the day you file your claim, our team takes full ownership of the timeline so you don’t have to chase adjusters, wait on hold, or wonder what’s next. Here’s how it works: we start with a full inspection, meet your insurance adjuster on-site, and ensure every line item is approved before construction begins. While other contractors go silent aft
Should I get multiple bids?
It’s a common misconception that homeowners should gather multiple bids for an insurance claim. The truth? Insurance sets the pricing — not contractors. Your carrier pays based on Xactimate rates , a national database updated monthly by ZIP code. So, whether one contractor quotes $15,000 and another quotes $17,000, the insurance company will still pay the fair market rate they’ve established. Faraday’s value isn’t in being the cheapest — it’s in being the most capable. We fo
Will my insurance actually cover everything?
That’s one of the biggest worries homeowners have — and the short answer is yes , as long as it’s presented properly. Insurance companies aren’t trying to give away money; they pay what’s proven, documented, and justified. Faraday’s job is to make sure nothing gets missed. We use the same estimating software as carriers (Xactimate), line-by-line, to ensure consistency and accuracy. After your claim is filed, our team reviews the adjuster’s estimate to identify missing items
How do I know if I have enough damage to qualify for a full replacement?
After a hailstorm, it’s difficult to know whether the damage you see justifies a full replacement or only minor repairs — and that’s where Faraday steps in. Most insurance carriers require “functional damage” — meaning bruised, cracked, or granule-loss shingles that shorten the roof’s lifespan — not just cosmetic wear. Our inspection process mirrors the same standards adjusters use: we photograph, document, and mark every hail hit on slopes, vents, gutters, and flashing. We
