Central Ohio sees an average of 38 days of thunderstorm activity a year, with hail season running April through September. Even a roof that looks fine from the ground can be hiding cracked seams, granule loss, or hail bruising that leads to leaks months later — which is why a professional post-storm inspection matters whether or not damage is visible from the driveway.
The Metal Roof Company has spent 20+ years inspecting and repairing storm-damaged roofs across Columbus, Newark, Lancaster, Westerville, Dublin, Powell, and the surrounding communities. Every storm inspection includes a full written damage report, photo documentation, and — if damage is found — direct coordination with your insurance carrier through the claims process. Our work is backed by our workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer’s material warranty.
Insurance carriers put a clock on hail and wind claims, and waiting can cost you the claim entirely. If your roof has been through a recent storm, the fastest and safest move is a free inspection before you file anything.
Hail bruising, loosened fasteners, and creased panels aren’t always visible from the ground. Warning signs include denting around vents and flashing, granule buildup in gutters (asphalt roofs), and lifted or separated seams on standing seam panels. If your neighborhood has seen recent hail or high wind, it’s worth a professional look even if your roof appears untouched.

Ohio homeowners’ policies typically cover sudden storm and hail damage, but claim windows are limited and insurers often send their own adjuster first. We document damage thoroughly, meet adjusters on-site when needed, and help make sure nothing gets missed in the estimate — so you get the roof you’re actually owed under your policy.
Most Ohio insurance policies set a filing deadline after a storm event — often 12 months, sometimes less. Beyond the claim clock, exposed damage lets moisture into the deck and insulation, turning a covered repair into an out-of-pocket one. A fast inspection protects both your claim and your home.
