How MAC Construction Handles Storm Damage
From inspection to completion — every step coordinated with your insurance company.
Hail knocks protective granules off shingles, exposing the asphalt mat to UV. The shingle looks fine from the ground but is aging 3-5x faster.
Hail creates soft spots in the asphalt mat that you can only feel by pressing on the shingle. These spots crack and leak months later.
High winds lift shingle edges and break the sealant bond. The shingle lays back down after the wind stops but no longer seals properly against rain.
Storm winds can shift metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls — creating water entry points invisible from the ground.
Gutters, vent caps, and ridge vents dent from hail. If your gutters are dented, the shingles above them likely have damage too.

"Hail storm hit our neighborhood hard. MAC Construction inspected within 24 hours and found damage I never would have spotted. They documented everything, met with my adjuster, and the claim was approved for a full replacement. Could not have been easier."
"Two contractors told me I needed a full replacement after a storm. MAC Construction told me I only needed a repair to one section. Saved me thousands and my insurance deductible was lower. Honest assessment, period."
"MAC Construction attended my adjuster meeting and pointed out damage the adjuster initially missed. The claim went from a $3,000 repair to a full replacement covered by insurance. Having your contractor there makes all the difference."
"We had wind damage we did not know about for 6 months. MAC caught it just before our filing deadline. They rushed the documentation and we got the claim filed with 3 weeks to spare. The repair was done in one day."
"After the February storms, MAC Construction inspected our roof and told us honestly that we had no significant damage. No charge for the inspection. No pressure. That kind of honesty is rare and we will absolutely call them when we actually need work done."
"Our insurance adjuster and MAC Construction agreed on the full scope of storm damage. The entire process — from inspection to finished roof — took 3 weeks. New architectural shingles, 5-year warranty, insurance covered everything minus deductible."
Storm Damage Roof Repair Questions
Real questions from Dothan homeowners. Tap any for the straight answer.
How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?
Within 48 hours is ideal. MAC Construction provides free storm damage inspections with timestamped photo documentation. Earlier inspections produce cleaner documentation tied directly to the specific storm event, which strengthens your insurance claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage roof repair in Alabama?
Most standard Alabama policies cover roof damage from hail, wind, and fallen trees. Normal wear and aging are typically not covered. MAC Construction documents storm-specific damage patterns and coordinates directly with your adjuster to help ensure proper coverage.
What size hail damages a roof in Dothan, AL?
Quarter-size hail (1 inch diameter) reliably damages asphalt shingles, especially on roofs over 5 years old. Golf ball size (1.75 inches) and larger causes significant damage regardless of roof age. Check your AC condenser fins — if they are dented, your roof likely has damage.
Can storm damage be repaired or does the whole roof need replacement?
It depends on how widespread the damage is. If less than 25-30 percent of the roof surface is affected and the decking is solid, targeted repair makes sense. If damage covers more than 30 percent, most insurers and contractors recommend full replacement for consistency.
What if my insurance adjuster and contractor disagree on the damage?
You have the right to request a re-inspection. MAC Construction provides detailed documentation that your adjuster can review line by line. If the disagreement persists, you can contact the Alabama Department of Insurance at insurance.alabama.gov or hire a public adjuster.
How long does storm damage roof repair take?
Minor storm repairs complete in 1 day. Partial section repairs take 1-2 days. Full storm damage replacements take 2-3 days. Timeline also depends on material availability and insurance settlement processing. MAC Construction provides a clear timeline in every written estimate.
Is there a deadline for filing a storm damage claim in Alabama?
Most Alabama homeowners policies require claims to be filed within one year of the storm date. Some policies have shorter deadlines. Check your policy immediately after any significant storm. MAC Construction helps with documentation at any point within the filing window.
Will MAC Construction handle my insurance paperwork?
We handle the documentation side — timestamped photos, written damage assessments, and in-person adjuster meetings. We do not file the claim itself on your behalf (that is your call to your insurer), but we provide everything your insurer needs to process it.
