After The Storm

What To Do Immediately After a Hail or Wind Storm

Storm damage isn't always obvious — but waiting can cost you thousands in denied claims and interior damage. Here's what homeowners should do right away.

STEP 1 — Stay Safe

Avoid climbing on your roof. Watch for loose debris, broken glass, and exposed nails on your property.

  • Stay off the roof entirely — leave that to us

  • Watch for ground hazards — debris, plywood, broken glass, and exposed nails

  • Take a breath — storm damage feels overwhelming but it's fixable

  • Check on elderly neighbors who may need a hand

  • If you see structural damage or smell gas, call your utility provider first

STEP 2 — Look for Visible Signs

You don't need to find everything — but what you can see from the ground is usually just the beginning.

  • Dents in gutters and metal surfaces

  • Shingles that look cracked, curled, or out of place

  • Ceiling water spots inside your home

  • Hail marks, splatter patterns, or splintering on your fence or wood surfaces

STEP 3 — Document What You See

Your documentation is your protection — start here.

  • Take photos of any visible damage from the ground

  • Screenshot the storm date and time from a weather app

  • Note any damage inside your home like water spots or staining

  • Save everything in one place — your phone, email, or cloud storage

Active leak or exposed roof? Don't wait — we offer emergency tarping to protect your home until your inspection. Call Bryan directly: (405) 992-2194

STEP 4 — Get Your Evidence Package

What you can see is just the start. Our team uses drones and roof climbers to find everything — so you have the full story before you make any decisions.

What You Can't See

You May Have Roof Damage Even If You Don't See It

Hail and wind damage often hides where you can't see it — and by the time it shows up inside your home, the damage is already done.

The Policy Clock

The Clock Started When The Storm Hit. Most Homeowners Don't Know That.

Most homeowners have no idea their policy has a claim window — and once it closes, it doesn't reopen. Missing it means paying out of pocket for damage that was covered the day after the storm.

payments

Your policy may shift from RCV to ACV — meaning you get paid less the older your roof gets

schedule

Visible damage not reported within 30 days can be denied outright

High deductibles and hidden policy gaps can leave you paying thousands out of pocket

A missed deadline turns a covered claim into an out of pocket expense

The clock is already running. We help Oklahoma homeowners understand their policy, document real damage, and deliver a complete Evidence Package — so you avoid costly claim mistakes.

Storm Damage Questions Homeowners Ask

When you have a question, chances are someone else has too. Here are the answers to the most common questions.

Will insurance cover my roof replacement?

Coverage depends on your policy type and the storm date. If damage was caused by a qualifying storm event there's a strong chance it's covered. The key factors are your policy type — RCV vs ACV — whether the damage meets your carrier's threshold, and whether you file within your policy window. We help you understand exactly where you stand before you make any decisions.

What if I don't see visible damage?

Most serious storm damage isn't visible from the ground. Bruised shingles, damaged shingle mat, gaps around vents and chimneys, and soft spots in your roof deck are all things a homeowner would never spot without a drone and climber inspection. By the time it shows up inside your home the damage is already done.

How long do I have to file a storm claim?

Under Oklahoma House Bill 3495 you have up to 24 months to file a hidden damage claim — but your policy may require you to report visible damage in as little as 30 days. Don't assume you have time. Call us right after a storm and we'll help you understand your specific window before it closes.

Do I need multiple roofing estimates?

Insurance carriers require accurate damage documentation — not a price comparison between contractors. What protects your claim is a thorough inspection and a complete Evidence Package documenting every detail of the damage. That's exactly what we provide on every inspection.

Can you help with insurance paperwork?

Yes. Every inspection includes a complete Evidence Package — professional inspection reports, drone documentation, and photo records that support your claim. We don't do your adjuster's job but we make sure you walk into that conversation fully prepared.

Are you a local Oklahoma company?

Yes — 5Coat Roofing & Construction is locally owned and operated in the Oklahoma City

metro. We're not a national franchise or a storm chasing crew from out of state. Bryan Fivecoat is a local owner

personally on every project we take on — you'll see him at your inspection.
