April showers bring May flowers, but many times those showers turn into horrific springtime storms that can do tremendous damage to the roof of your Bloomington home. Spring storms are known to cause hail damage to your shingles, while strong winds from the storm can also cause your roof to loose shingles. A quality professional contractor such as Trinity Exteriors Inc who looks for these type of damages daily can let you know if your roof is an insurable loss.  If you experience hail damage to your vehicle during a storm while you are at home, then that would be a good indicator that the roof of your home may have also had damage done. Hail damage to the roof of your home may not cause leaks immediately, but over a period of time when there is thawing and freezing the damage done may lead to leaks inside your home. Many homeowner insurance policies will allow you to file a claim up to a year after the storm damage has occurred. Picking a roofing contractor in the Bloomington and Twin Cities area can be a difficult decision. When choosing a contractor you want to investigate them thoroughly. Many times after a large storm you will see many out of town roofing and siding companies that are commonly known as storm chasers appear. These companies may not always be legit.  Keep in mind there are many out of town roofing companies that come to our area after a large storm who are reputable. However, if there are any issues with the work the out of town contractor does you may have a difficult time getting them back to your home to fix things once they return to their home location. Checking sources such as the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List will ensure you are hiring a qualified and reliable contractor. Trinity Exteriors Inc. is a 2011 Angie’s List Super Service Award Winner. If your home has experienced storm damage call Trinity Exteriors Inc. and allow us the opportunity to give your roof a qualified inspection.
