VIRGINIA HAILSTORM – HOW TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE

On Thursday, June 18, 2015 a major storm rolled through Fairfax County Virginia bringing along with it damaging winds and hail that reached up to 1.75” in diameter. This touched surrounding areas such as Chantilly, Reston, Herdon, Fairfax City and Vienna.Hailstrom
hail damage example
Hail damage affects your home by cracking your roof, gutters, siding, and anything else it comes in contact with. Here are some signs to look for when checking for damage:

• Black spots all over the roof
• Distinct round spots the size of a penny or larger
• Residue from your shingles in your gutters or downspouts
• Broken or cracked shingles
• Crushed or dented areas
• Shingles that have fallen off the roof

Even if your roof does survive a hailstorm, there still may be significant damage underneath the roof. That’s why it is important to call an experienced roofing professional like The Exterior Company to check your roof for hail damage.

In May of 2019, our house was hit pretty hard by the hail storm in our area. Our neighbors recommended TEC to us, so we... called them. We dealt with Kyle, who was very friendly, courteous and professional throughout the entire process. We had the roof, siding and gutters replaced on the house, and the roof replaced on our one shed. The work was done in about half the time they promised, and it looks fantastic! Kyle r sure we were satisfied with their work, and the very few spots that "weren't perfect" were addressed immediately and without hesitation. Our house looks brand new, and I can't speak highly enough of the quality of work done by their crews. I would absolutely hire them again, and highly recommend them to everyone!read more

I can't say enough about Quinn and his team. He came to inspect the roof and found storm damage. Quinn explained the... process. From start to finish everything went smoothly. They show up on time, very professional, efficient and straight forward. Quality work done with quality equipment and a friendly team. I would definitely recommend TEC . One more plus, they follow all CDC guidelines.read more

Pete from TEC made my roofing project seamless from beginning to end. I would have never gotten insurance money for the... roof replacement if it wasn’t for Pete’s tireless efforts. Pete and his work team were very professional, they did an excellent job on the new roof and left my yard very clean when they were done, and were also very careful around my landscaping. The entire job was completed to my satisfaction ahead of schedule. Any issues, no matter how minor were addressed by Pete immediately. I would highly recommend Pete and his company for any roofing job.read more

The company is disorganized, mismanaged,storm chasing joke. They passed my account around to 3 different project... managers right up until the day of the appointment with my insurance company. When the time came to have the insurance company inspect my roof the Project Manager that showed up never saw my house, never looked at my file or knew what the first project manager saw damage wise. Which resulted in the adjuster steam rolling him and now I'm left with a damaged roof and an estimate to pay for it put of pocket. The only reason I called my insurance company is because TEC said there was damage...then when it comes time to meet the insurance company there is no damage?!? It's just a scam. I am going to get the roof fixed but there is a snowball's chance in hell that TEC will be the company to do it. This company pays for good reviews so please do your self a favor and read the one star reviews first and you will see similar stories.read more

Last week, we had our roof installed along with eight skylights. Our house looks absolutely amazing! Shane Van Hovel... and the roofing team did an excellent job. From start to finish, they arrived early and they cleaned the property of all debris before departing. We want to personally thank Shane Van Hovel for overseeing this whole project and making it happen! Shane was very knowledgeable with our insurance claim, too. He answered all of our many questions and we really appreciated his patience, as he explained all the insurance details to us. He’s courteous, professional and very efficient at his job. Because of Shane and the team performing such an outstanding job, I highly recommend TEC!!!read more

Nothing but good things to say about this company. Pete took amazing care of me. They replaced my entire roof in just... over a day. The crew as fast, professional, and effective.

From my first contact with project manager Jordan Herr my experience was top notch. Jordan was always available to... answer questions or concerns in a timely manner. Once my roof was approved for replacement scheduling was fast and easy. The day of my roof replacement came and went with out any issues and Jordan was there during the install to ensure that work that was done was to his standard and mine. He was very thorough after the work completion to ensure everything was cleaned up and removed from my property. I would highly recommend Jordan and The Exterior Company for any of your needs.read more

Our project manager Kyle Given was very professional and explained all our options and how things would be done. We... had several questions and Kyle was always available to meet with us or email us about them. While we have a pretty large roof it was replaced in one day which Kyle was expecting. The roof replacement went very well even though we had a short rain shower. Clean up was good and of course we found old roofing nails for quite a while which is expected. We also had gutters and downspouts replaced. One issue we had was that Kyle was not able to tell us when this would be done. I really wanted to be here as i wanted a few things done differently. Unfortunately we came home one day to find the gutters and downspouts were replaced. While the work looked nice the things i wanted changed were not done. Kyle told us he did not know they were coming. Better communication between project managers and contractors need to happen. Kyle did see that the changes i wanted were made except for one gutter issue that still needs to be addressed. Over all TEC did a good job and we would recommend them and Kyle to anyone who needs this service. Ron Bread more

We worked with Andrew T. He was our sales and project manager. They had a big selection of high quality shingles.... Andrew took personal interest every step of the way complete attention to detail. I thought his crew would leave a mess they cleaned up and were very polite. At the end of the day I felt he really treated our project like it was his own. Roof looks great and my neighbor to used TEC after they saw ours go up with precision. Yes I would recommend them they stand behind their work and show up when they say they will.read more

I would absolutely recommend the Exterior Company. After a hail storm, we needed our roof replaced at our two homes at... Saddle Lake.

My neighbors around the lake are also very pleased with their work!read more

I had a great experience with TEC. I had my roof replaced due to hail damage. Robbie, our project manager, is very... knowledgeable and very responsive. He helped me through the process and made it very easy for me. He came out and did a free inspection, finding the damage, then when I did file the claim with my insurance company, he made sure he was at my home to meet with the adjuster to ensure my insurance company found all the damage. This helped a great deal with making sure my policy would provide coverage for my whole roof. Some of my neighbors had their insurance adjuster come out without their contractor present and either got denied, or partial roof replacements paid for by their insurance company. I highly recommend The Exterior Company for outside work.read more

Ryan was great. He was with us from day one throughout the whole process. He showed up the same day we called the... company to come look at our roof which was damaged from hail. And even though he showed up at the end of the work day, he was still willing to go over to our neighbor and look at their roof as well. He made a special trip when the State Farm adjuster showed up to do the evaluation, being sure to point out damage so nothing was missed. He sat with us and went over the State Farm assessment as well as their contract answering all our questions. We asked him if they could do additional work that State Farm did not cover and the price quoted was fair. In short order the day came and the whole process was handled with such precision and coordination that it was finished in just a few hours. We sat outside watching the whole thing. The work crew was amazing. These men and women worked hard on that hot summer day. They were dressed from head to toe so they did not get hurt by the abrasive asphalt or burned from the sun. We tipped them well and encourage you to do also. Clean up was thorough as it is a mess to remove a whole roof as well as remnants from fitting the new roofing materials. They even have these special "brooms" that they went through the landscaping beds and lawn that picked up loose nails that had escaped their nets. They didn't go through only once but several times. The second crew came in to do down spouts, gutters and wrapping. Just like the first crew they were very good and worked as a team which left little wasted time. Also, we tipped them. The quality of the materials, the labor teams and Ryan made this a seamless process. My only complaint was receiving a post card in the mail, AFTER, our roof was installed offering a gift if you signed a contract. In this case, we were punished for being an early bird.read more
