Hail Damage - My Turn

Biggusblockus · April 10, 2017

In most states there is no such thing as diminished value for first party (contractual) claims.

In Third party claims (someone else is legally liable for your damages) there is some ability to claim DV.

Heard back on supplemental damage assessment from PDR. New assessment totals:

Silverado. - $4K

Traverse. -$6K

So just about double from the original estimate...

Had this happen to me with my reg cab truck. Have owned it 3 years and have had hail damage 3 times. 2 times minor damage fixed with paintless, the other time $12,000 damage. Most of that fix was by way of re-skinning the roof and box side. What hurt the most was that the truck was only a month old.

PS: Also had $25,000 damage to my house in that bad storm.

Wife had roof replaced. Mine was assessed as needing roof replacement but ended up getting PDR.

On that note: Another line of storms came through tonight! These are not my photos as we got in our rentals and drove south this time (about 5 miles). But from folks around our neighborhood (within 5 miles) had this size hail.

Parked in a parking garage and didn't want to deal with another insurance claim this go around.

Should have my truck Monday and wife's traverse Wednesday.

I'm more amazed with the hood. The roof is flimsy to begin with I figured that could be pushed back with removing the headliner. But the aluminum hood stretches so easy I figured it was a goner. Also it looks like you guys really need a garage in your area.

We have a 2 car garage but they don't fit. The previous owner has built ins toward the front of the garage. Just another project to add and see if it can be removed to accommodate. We also have the center post which limits the entry into the garage.

Was the roof on your house hit with hail that big?

Mine was hit with smaller golf ball size hail.

10-15 years ago had a new 6 month old sportcar get hit in a hail storm in Atlanta, I bet there was close to 75 hits or more on that thing. I told them I guarantee I would know where it was hit, but after the PDR guy was done I couldn't see a thing. Since then I use PDR guys regularly, I've had a huge dent taken

out of a truck where I backed into my kids bike and I've had a few done on my Sierra, I usually buy slightly used now and first thing I do is call someone out

to go over anything I see...each time I'm amazed. As long as it's not creased they can get it out, the sheet metal is so thin on these things now almost anything is possible except bad creases and even then they can make it look a lot better.

I had to replace my roof after it got hit with hail much smaller than that. Have you had your roof inspected?

Yep. Original estimate was $2500, 2nd assessment was 2x that. Both vehicles had roof replacement on the assessment but was told they could PDR. We'll find out Monday or Tuesday.

Sorry, I meant the roof on your house. Golf ball size hail will usually do quite a bit of damage to a composition shingle roof.
