Hail Damage Restoration
Hailstorms are a unique occurrence though not at all uncommon in the Northern Virginia and surrounding areas. Hailstorms are unique in the sense of how and when they occur and the type of damage they can inflict. Hail usually forms at the beginning of a thunderstorm and can last up to 15 minutes or more with heavy downfall. Hailstorms can form in small isolated pockets or become widespread much like the storm that occurred in Northern Virginia in 1999. Hail stones form as super cooled water droplets pass through a layer of very cold air. The size of the stones can vary depending on whether or not they continue to encounter additional cold rain drops that can add to the stone's circumference.
With over twenty years in business in the same location in Northern Virginia we have witnessed our share of hailstorms. We here at Metropolitan Contractors, Inc. have been one of the most trusted and relied upon Contractors in the Northern Virginia and surrounding areas when it comes to dealing with residential and commercial property restoration due to damage caused by hailstorms.
The most commonly damaged materials when hail strikes a home or other structure; roofing, siding or other façade, aluminum gutters and downspouts, exterior cornices or trim, exterior paint, outdoor heating and cooling systems and even windows.
If you've experienced damage to your home or other property due to hail then you have probably also encountered the now infamous "Storm Chasers". They can arrive in the form of door to door canvassers or salesman, flyers distributed throughout your neighborhood telling you to "call the experts"! The one thing these "companies" are experts at are tracking hailstorms and targeting the neighborhoods they hit within a matter of hours, it's amazing! Sign up immediately and you can be part of a "neighborhood discount"…
We are not saying all these companies are necessarily bad but there is some key information you may want to obtain before "signing on". How long have they been in business in your area, what types of warranties are they offering, are the materials they intend to use of like or better quality than what you had before? Bottom line is you want to be sure they will be around after the work is complete should something need repair or attention and that the materials they use are both new and of good quality.
Here at Metropolitan Contractors, Inc. we have long standing relationships with all major suppliers for most any type of residential or commercial material. We do not subcontract to other roofing or siding companies as we have long tenured installation crews and employees that have been working for us for many years. We have a showroom full of product samples and displays to help match with replacement materials or even a change in materials that will meet the established insurance claim budget while providing you with a "new look" if so desired. Let's face it, damage from a hailstorm can also present a great opportunity to fix up the exterior of your home with like quality material or even better should you so choose. Why not hire an experienced hail restoration Contractor that has been serving the Northern Virginia and surrounding areas for nearly twenty years and has plans to be here for another twenty or more years.
If you have experienced Hail damage to your home or commercial property please give us a call for a no hassle, no pressure, free consultation and estimate.
