North Carolina requires PA licensing through the Department of Insurance. Contractors must be licensed with the Licensing Board for General Contractors. Standard TCPA rules apply. Most standard homeowners policies cover hail damage to roofs, siding, and windows under dwelling coverage. Check your declarations page for hail-specific deductibles, which may be expressed as a percentage of insured value rather than a flat amount.
How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?
Hail 0.75" (dime-size) can dent soft metals. Hail 1.0" (quarter-size) bruises asphalt shingles and causes granule loss. Hail 1.5"+ (golf ball-size) causes structural damage most insurers will cover for full replacement. A qualified roofing contractor or public adjuster can identify claim-eligible damage that isn't visible to the untrained eye.
What time of year does North Carolina get the most hail?
North Carolina averages 120 hail storms per year, with peak activity during April – July. This is when warm, moist air from the Gulf meets dry air from the west, creating the atmospheric instability that fuels severe thunderstorms and hail-producing supercells.
