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, comprehensive inspection — the same kind of detailed analysis your insurance company relies on, but done with your best interests in mind. We photograph, document, and mark every damaged area so that when the adjuster arrives, the evidence is clear and indisputable.

When you call Faraday first, you’re not just getting a contractor — you’re getting a claims guide and advocate who ensures the process starts off right. We’ll tell you whether you truly need to file a claim, saving you from unnecessary filings that can affect your premiums. Once damage is confirmed, we’ll even help you contact your insurance company directly with all documentation ready.

It’s simple: don’t call your insurance company unprepared — call Faraday, and we’ll make sure the claim starts in your favor from day one.
