If you’re a homeowner in Aurora, Colorado, you probably remember the hailstorm that hit on May 30, 2024. It was one of the most damaging storms the area has seen in recent years—and unfortunately, it was followed by a wave of out-of-town contractors who promised fast fixes and then disappeared.
We’ve heard the same story over and over again:
- “We signed a contract, but they never showed up.”
- “The work they did was poor or incomplete.”
- “We can’t get ahold of the company anymore.”
Maybe you tried to manage the insurance process alone and hit roadblocks or put off filing a claim altogether due to stress or confusion. In a state like Colorado, where hailstorms are frequent, it’s completely normal to hesitate or delay filing a claim—especially when dealing with an already busy life. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone, you still have options, and there are trustworthy contractors out there that want to help.
The Truth About Storm-Chasing Contractors
After a major hailstorm, it’s common for storm-chasing contractors to sweep into hard-hit areas. These companies often:
- Pressure homeowners to sign quickly
- Offer vague or inflated promises
- Leave town after collecting insurance money
- Do shoddy or incomplete work—or no work at all
That’s not how it should be and you deserve better! Check out this post for more warning signs of dishonest contractors if you’re still hesitant about finding a contractor. It will help you understand what to look for and what to steer clear of!
The Deadline to Act Is Coming—Here’s What You Need to Know
Most insurance companies give you about 12 months from the date of the storm to file a claim or complete repairs. That means your claim window could be closing very soon.
Even if you:
- Didn’t file a claim after the storm
- Filed but never completed the work
- Worked with someone who didn’t finish the job
You may still be eligible to reactivate your claim or request a reinspection.
If you’ve not done anything yet, remember, even if your roof looks okay from the ground, hail can cause underlying damage that worsens over time. Left unaddressed, it can lead to leaks, interior damage, and issues with future insurance claims. Acting before the claim window closes could save you thousands of dollars.
